Trek Fuel EX 9.7 - Strong entry into the fuel carbon class

Equipped with a lightweight carbon frame, the Fuel EX 9.7 is once again in a different league. In addition to the weight savings of about one kilo, you also benefit from its more agile handling. This makes this versatile all-rounder on winding trails simply even more fun. Whether whimsical after-work round, extended weekend tour or alpine cross. A fully with which many bikers and bikers can be happy. Thanks to the medium suspension travel of 140 millimeters in front and 130 millimeters in the rear, the Fuel EX 9.7 always remains responsive. Trek has established the OCLV Carbon on the market and developed it further over many years. The carbon fiber material is characterized by a particularly high impact resistance, so that even in falls only in rare cases irreparable damage occurs. In the EX 9.7 version, the Fuel comes with powerful Fox suspension, Shimano XT/SLX 1 x 12 drive and biting Shimano Deore 4-piston disc brakes. In addition, tubeless-ready wheels with voluminous 2.5-inch tires provide top traction on any terrain. Last but not least, Trek gives the Fuel a telescopic seatpost from the factory. So you can start without detours on the first tour.

Trek OCLV Carbon - More comfort for more endurance

The OCLV Carbon was developed by Trek specifically for mountain bikes. But it's not just the lower weight that sets a carbon frame apart from an aluminum frame. Rather, carbon fibers offer better opportunities to improve the stiffness at neuralgic points quite specifically. Or in contrast to increase the flex at other points for more comfort. Thanks to the holistic manufacturing of the main frame, these properties are possible without negatively affecting each other. In general, a carbon frame is able to soften peaks of violent impacts and reduce vibrations. Studies show that even this minimal effect makes the rider tire less quickly than on a conventional frame. This means you can pedal longer and more efficiently. Other features: 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.
