Overview
About this bike
Trek's Fuel EXs are the benchmark for trail bikes; the 9.8 27.5 is taking that benchmark to the next level. The full-carbon frame dishes out 120mm of travel, but that's only a small piece of the package. Stiffness means efficiency and better handling, so you're armed with an E2 head tube and a 142x12mm rear through axle. Add to that 27.5-inch wheels, and your bike is quick, capable and maneuverable. Fox and Trek teamed up with F1 racing company Penske to make Fox's brilliant Float CTD rear shock even better. Combined with the 32 Float up front, your Fuel is blazingly fast on smooth sections and shrugs off bigger hits like an enduro rig. The rest of the spec is just as capable: full XT 2x10 gearing, a Reverb dropper post, XT discs, carbon bars, and tubeless-ready wheels wrapped with proper rubber.
