Product Details

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 our mountain bike line-up by combining high-end parts with a stout but light alloy frame.
 
It's right for you if...
You're cool with your wheels leaving the ground, but you also like to go the distance on marathon single track sessions. You want a bike that lets you crush any trail, and your priority is on the parts.
 
The tech you get
An alloy frame, 140 mm FOX Rhythm 34 fork and 130 mm of rear travel with an extra-efficient RE:aktiv damper. A Shimano XT 1 x 12 drivetrain with an extra-low 51-tooth climbing gear, powerful 4-piston brakes, Bontrager wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub for fast engagement plus a Bontrager Line dropper post.
 
The final word
Fuel EX 8 gives you added efficiency with Shimano's latest, widest-range drive train and Trek's unique RE:aktiv damper that provides firm pedalling support without giving up any plush compliance.
 
Why you'll love it
  • A wider gear range and more efficient suspension help you claw your way up tricky climbs you never thought you'd clean
  • If you measure quality in performance per pound, you won't do better than Fuel EX 8
  • This bike will make you want to rail every corner, smash every rock garden and charge every descent
  • The shifter-style, under bar remote dropper post lever is super intuitive and easy to use
  • We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders. And, you get the fastest wheel that fits your frame: XS frames get 27.5" wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5" or 29" and sizes M to XL get 29" wheels

  • This bike is the best
    Top bike for money
    Loves to climb
    Loves wet track just eats it up
    Jono Rayner 9 Jul 2023 Recommends this product
  • An excellent all-rounder full suspension MTB
    This is a great general purpose mountain bike, will go anywhere, uphill and downhill. When riding it I don't really notice the bike, just the track. If you could only have one mountain bike to do everything this would be a good choice. Excellent service from T7 Porirua, their local mechanic has been working in the district for decades and really knows bikes. Mine came with Tektro 4 pot brakes instead of the specified Shimano Deore, I knew that before I purchased and decided it was worth the risk. After 7 weeks the brakes are still fine, they feel different from the SLX brakes on my last bike, some of that will be down to the pads, single finger braking is fine, time will tell how well they last. I swapped out the Bontrager XR4 29x2.6 front tyre after the first ride for a deeper tread winter tyre (Specialized Hillbilly Grid) because we've had our wettest August, but I'm sure the XR4 would be fine in the Wellington summer or as a nice light rear tyre.
