Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 6 Trail Bike – 2023

• You want a full suspension trail bike that prioritizes suspension and shifting performance over a more expensive carbon frame.

• A light and stiff alloy frame with 150mm FOX Rhythm fork
• Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper for small bump compliance
• FOX Performance Float X rear shock
• Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain for snappy shifting
• Tubeless-ready Bontrager wheels
• Adjustable geometry that lets you take control of your setup

• For the rider who doesn’t want to be limited on the trail, Fuel EX 8 is ready to handle everything. Its progressive trail geometry is built to keep you charging, and upgraded components are they cherry on top.

• 1: This bike is built to take on the singletrack, with modern geometry that’s evolved to handle the rough and rowdy
• 2: You’ll get upgraded components where it matters most, with 12-speed XT shifting, and a rock-gobbling FOX Rhythm 36 fork
• 3: With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
• 4: Trek expanded their size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5? wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5? or 29?, and sizes M and up get 29? wheels
• 5: Guided internal routing, universal derailleur hanger, improved hardware, and a threaded BB make maintenance a breeze
