Four great reasons to buy your bike from Sigma Sports
Sigma Sports has one objective - to help you find your perfect bike. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff ask you a series of questions to understand what type of rider you are and the type of riding you do. We can then identify the style of bike that best suits your needs.
Riding a bike that fits you perfectly will help keep you injury-free and ensure you enjoy riding further for longer in total comfort. We check your measurements on a jig to ensure your optimal set-up.
When you collect your new bike we'll double-check your position and make any micro-adjustments if required. We'll also discuss the controls on your bike as well as maintenance tips.
We offer a free safety check after six weeks or 200 miles, so you can keep riding in confidence. Visit us now in-store to discuss your new bike.
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.
- Active Braking Pivot enables the suspension to perform even under braking loads
- Straight Shot with Knock Block - steeper, lighter down tube
- Bontrager Line dropper seat post
- Mino Link adjustable geometry lets you slacken off the ride for a lower centre of gravity
- Control freak Cable Management
- Alpha Platinum Aluminium
