Fuel EX 8 is the ideal trail bike for riders who want a versatile full-suspension ripper that makes soul-crushing climbs less painful, but can also huck rowdy trails. It hits the sweet spot of value and performance in Trek's mountain bike line-up by combining high-end parts with a stout but light alloy frame.

A lightweight aluminium frame, 140mm FOX Rhythm 34 fork, and 130mm of rear travel with an extra-efficient RE:aktiv damper. A SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 drive train with an extra-low 52-tooth climbing gear, plus a Bontrager Line dropper post.

The final word

Fuel EX 8 gives you added efficiency with SRAM's latest, widest-range drive train and Trek's unique RE:aktiv damper, which provides firm pedalling support without giving up any plush compliance.
