"Way ahead of the pack"

"The faster our test riders pushed, the better the bike felt, inspiring more confidence than a bike in this suspension category should. Fuel EX makes a strong argument for itself as a do-it-all trail machine that is pure fun to rip."

"Lightning-fast and wildly fun"

"Trek has elevated the Fuel EX's performance even further. This latest iteration feels just as quick on the climbs, but when it's time to descend, it's less phased by steep and technical trails than ever before."

"A bike with fire in its belly"

"A trail hammering speed machine, lightweight, incredibly well-built and so beautifully constructed. A genuinely quick and balanced trail bike that's bang up to date in angles and ride dynamic."

"Right on the money"

Control Freak cable management

The lightest, quietest, most versatile cable management system allows any combination of shift, brake, lockout and dropper post lines to be routed through the frame for clean looks and the ultimate custom set-up.

Boost148/110

Wider dropouts (110mm front, 148mm rear) give you the stiffness of a 27.5" wheel with all the benefits of a 29" wheel, and Boost148 at the back lets you run wider tyres and a larger chain ring without affecting q-factor and pedalling efficiency.

G2 Geometry

Advanced frame geometry and a custom offset fork give our 29ers precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. We call it G2 Geometry, and it's why our 29ers handle better than anyone else's.

Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Programme

Every set of Bontrager carbon wheels is backed by the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Programme. In the unlikely event that you damage your Bontrager carbon wheels within the first two years of ownership, we’ll repair or replace them for free.
