Trek Fuel EX 8 - High-end components deliver superior trail performance

Can you feel the difference on the trail between top components and inexpensive parts when you test them against each other on the same frame? We'd say: Hardly on a single component, but definitely in total. With the Fuel EX 8, Trek has consistently equipped its outstanding Alpha Platinum frame, which is already used in the Fuel EX 5 and 7, with high-quality components. The chassis benefits especially from the sensitive Fox Rhythm 34 suspension fork, which is versatile adjustable and also very light. It works perfectly together with the Fox Performance Float rear shock, which was specially tuned by the Trek Suspension Lab. With the spring elements, the suspension works even more sensitive and is above all even more individually tunable to your wishes. Climbing strong 1 x 12 drive with up to 51 teeth: To date, the precision of the Shimano XT shifting is unsurpassed. And on the downhill, the retractable seatpost and Shimano disc brakes with 4 pistons provide maximum safety and control. Lightweight Bontrager Tubeless-Ready wheels make the Fuel EX 8 one of the best all-rounders on the market.

Trek - Aluminum frame construction with tradition

The US manufacturer Trek is one of the pioneers in the processing of aluminum frames since the eighties. You can therefore rely on a huge know-how. And of course, a frame like the Fuel is constantly being developed over the generations. The Fuel EX 8 uses the high-quality Alpha Platinum aluminum. First-class processed and lightweight. In addition, there are harmonious details such as down tube protection, internally routed cables and a tapered head tube. The Knock Block steering stop prevents the frame from being damaged in the event of a fall. With the help of the Mino Link, a rotatable mini eccentric on the rear rocker, the steering angle can be changed by 0.5 degrees. This influences the driving behavior in the direction of maneuverability or smoothness. Clever: To ensure that all riders can enjoy the optimum seating position and geometry, Trek matches the wheel diameter to the frame size. That's why the XS frame comes with 27.5-inch wheels and the higher models (S to XL) with 29-inch. In addition, the smaller frame sizes have a downward-curved top tube, resulting in a particularly low standover height.
