Engineered for painless uphill climbs and exciting downhill rides, it masterfully balances value and high-end components. Built for adventurous riders who push boundaries, it features a robust, yet light, alloy frame with a suspension setup that boasts 130mm at the rear and 140mm at the front, making it a match for any challenging trail. For those who enjoy the challenge of uphill trails, the Fuel EX 8 is outfitted with a Shimano XT 1x12 drivetrain, complete with an extra-low 51-tooth climbing gear. Likewise, the bike's powerful 4-piston brakes are ready to keep your downhill rides under control. Bontrager wheels with 54-tooth Rapid Drive hubs provide quick engagement while the Bontrager Line dropper post adds versatility to your ride. In addition to this, TREK's unique RE:aktiv damper provides firm pedalling support without compromising the plush compliance that makes your rides smooth and enjoyable. A testament to effective technology, the bike enables efficient suspension that makes even the trickiest climbs doable. If measured by quality in performance, the Fuel EX 8 truly excels in its class. It will redefine your ride - inspiring you to chase every descent, corner harder and tackle every rock garden with confidence. To ensure it adapts to all riders, the size range has been expanded. XS frames feature 27.5" wheels, S frames offer a choice between 27.5" or 29", and sizes M to XL are outfitted with 29" wheels. With the Active Braking Pivot technology, the Fuel Ex 8's suspension can adjust to acceleration and braking forces independently, providing better control when you need it most. The Straight Shot frame design from TREK optimises stiffness-to-weight ratio so you can push harder and stay on track even when the trail gets rough. In conclusion, the 2022 Fuel EX 8 Gen 5 from TREK is an excellent solution for trail enthusiasts seeking efficient climbing and thrilling descents. Imbued with top-notch components and thoughtful design, it seeks to provide an unparalleled riding experience.
