Trek Fuel EXe 9.5 E-Bike – 2023

TREK FUEL EXE 9.5 E-BIKE – 2023

Fuel EXe 9.5 Deore is a new kind of e-mountain bike that bridges the divide between pedal assist and traditional bikes. It features a carbon frame and a compact motor that keeps the ride light, lively and quiet. Get the benefit of pedal assist on long climbs, and the playful feel of a traditional mountain bike on descents. It’s built up with a 150mm RockShox Gold RL fork that makes quick work of rock gardens, and 140mm of plush RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear suspension for a smooth ride and small bump compliance. 

It’s right for you if…
You want a trail bike that’s ready to ride everywhere, and gives you a little extra fuel on the ascents. You don’t want to sacrifice the nimble feel of a traditional trail bike for a beefy motor, and prefer a refined assist that feels—and sounds— natural underneath you.

The tech you get
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a fully-encased 360Wh battery, and TQ harmonic pin ring transmission with a smart charging port, integrated LED display and discreet handlebar remote. 150mm RockShox 35 Gold RL fork with DebonAir spring and Motion Control damper, and 140mm RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear suspension. Plus, tubeless-ready wheels and tires, and 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain.

The final word
Fuel EXe 9.5 is a lively trail bike that gives you extra boost on the climbs, and feels like a traditional bike on descents. It’s packed with space-age technology of a TQ harmonig pin ring transmission, plenty of buttery-smooth suspension to gobble up rocks and roots, and a workhorse drivetrain that won’t quit on you.

FEATURES

TQ-HPR50 – small, quiet, mighty

• TQ-HPR50 motor is super-efficient with an amazing power-to-weight ratio. Most motors use gears and belts that take up space and can make noise or break. The TQ-HPR50 uses a harmonic pin-ring drive transmission that’s small, ultra-quiet, and unbelievably natural feeling.

Range Extender

• Give yourself 40% more range with an optional 160wh external battery. It fits in a standard bottle cage and doesn’t require any complicated wiring or special mounts.

Removable battery

• The 360 Wh battery gives you power for 2-5 hours. It’s concealed in the downtube, but it’s still easy to remove for more convenient charging.

Active Braking Pivot

• Active Braking Pivot allows Trek engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most.
