Description
The Fuel EX 8 is a dialled trail bike for riders who chase down rowdy descents and want a bike that’s happy to pedal back to the top and do it again. It has a stout alloy frame and an upgraded Shimano XT drivetrain for smooth precise shifting. The 150 mm Fox Rhythm fork makes easy work of rocks and roots while the Fox Float X shock keeps you in control. New in-frame storage and adjustable geometry give you all the perks that come with the carbon model, but without the lofty price tag.
It’s right for you if…
You want a full-suspension trail bike that prioritises suspension and shifting performance over a more expensive carbon frame.
The tech you get
A light and stiff alloy frame with 150 mm FOX Rhythm fork with Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper for small bump compliance, plus a FOX Performance Float X rear shock. A Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain for snappy shifting, and tubeless-ready Bontrager wheels. Plus, new adjustable geometry that lets you take control of your set-up.
The final word
For the rider who doesn’t want to be limited on the trail, the Fuel EX 8 is ready to handle everything. Its progressive trail geometry is built to keep you charging, and upgraded components are the cherry on top.
Why you’ll love it
- This bike is built to take on the singletrack, with modern geometry that’s evolved to handle the rough and rowdy
- You’ll get upgraded components where it matters most, with 12-speed XT shifting and a rock-gobbling FOX Rhythm 36 fork
- With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
- We expanded our 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
- Guided internal routing, universal derailleur hanger, improved hardware and a threaded BB make maintenance a breeze
Why we won’t ship unbuilt Trek bikes
