Trek Fuel EX8 27.5" Plus Disc Mountain Bike 2019
With a lightweight Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame providing the core, the Trek Fuel EX 8 27.5" Mountain Bike has been engineered to deliver performance and confidence on almost any trail. Bringing Formula 1 technology to the suspension with the intuitive regressive damping system of the RE:aktiv rear shock delivers a whole new ride experience. Like having two shocks in one, RE:aktiv responds instinctively and differently to lower force inputs from the rider and greater, sudden impacts with environmental obstacles such as rock or tree roots. It's like a shock that reads the trail and delivers suspension to meet those needs rather than a one-size-fits-all performance.
27.5" wheels with mid-fat tyres will deliver exceptional traction and response and the 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub will ensure you get the power exactly when it's applied so that negotiating particularly steep and technical terrain is made easy. Even more so with the 1x12 SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain and 11-50 cassette, giving a simplified setup but with no loss of gear range.
