Trek Fuel EX 7 29er Mountain Bike 2018 Black/Blue

Season:2018

Brand:Trek

Code:549255-TREK

The Trek Fuel EX 7 29er Mountain Bike 2018 returns with a major capability boost, with a complete redesign that incorporates more travel, a more aggressive geometry, and the ability to fit both 29" and 27.5+ wheels, making it the perfect go-to trail bike.

Alpha Platinum aluminium is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points, and hydroformed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum streangth and minimum weight. The Straight Shot downtube design creates a straight connection to the steerer tube, leading to a lighter and stiffer frame with minimal material used. Complete with Knock Block technology, which is a keyed stem system that prevents the fork crown from damaging the frame.

Boost148/110 hub spacing creates stronger wheels, with shorter stays and more tyre clearance, allowing the Trek Fuel EX 2017 to run with fast, momentum-preserving 29" wheels or the traction and stability of 27.5+ wheels. Additional features such as Control Freak Internal Cable Management, Mino Link Adjustable geometry & the Active Braking Pivot all help create a more refined ride that feels exactly how you want it to from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

The Fuel EX delivers a rugged, capable long-travel ride with the sprightly manners of an XC bike, blending the best of both worlds into one uncompromising package.

Trek Fuel EX 7 29er 2018 Features

  • Capable and stiff 130 mm frame is 29˝ and 27.5+ compatible
  • Boost148/110: stronger wheels, more tyre clearance, shorter stays
  • Exclusive suspension tech with ABP and Full Floater

  • Trek Fuel EX 7 29er Mountain Bike 2018 Black/Blue review by Professional Review from MBR Magazine, on 08/11/2017

    5
    Some bike tests are decided on the finer points, others simply come down to price. But every now and then a bike comes along that stamps its authority so firmly on a category that there’s simply no doubting its pedigree. The Trek Fuel EX 7 29 is one such bike. The category in question is £2k full-suspension 29er trail bikes. It’s a landmark price point that all of the major manufacturers are keen to hit. As such, it’s one of the most hotly contested segments in mountain bike design. So when the Trek Fuel EX 7 29 breezed our 29er test back in July, easily defeating classics like the Specialized Camber Comp and Kona Hei Hei, while brushing aside any possible challenge from Norco’s freshly launched Optic 29, it instantly became our new benchmark 29er trail bike. Built around a brand new 130mm-travel Alpha aluminium frame, the Fuel EX draws upon Trek’s wealth of suspension knowledge and all of the latest standards to produce a thoroughly modern 29er trail bike. It retains key features like Trek’s ABP suspension, which decouples the braking characteristics from pedalling and bump forces, while marrying the linkage to a Metric size shock for improved reliability. It’s got Boost 148x12mm dropouts too, a standard that Trek actually pioneered. It’s also got stacks of tyre clearance, so if you ever want to convert your 29er Fuel EX to Plus, the fatter tyres will plug straight in. Trek even accounts for the slightly different wheel sizes with one frame design by using its long-standing Mino Link geometry chip. The 29er bikes ship in the low/slack setting, but the real beauty of the Mino Link is that there’s nothing stopping you from running it in either position, just be sure to use a spot of Loctite on the fixing bolts otherwise they’ll rattle loose mid-ride. The real advantage of Boost though, is that we now have 29er wheels that don’t collapse when you square off a turn or land a jump sideways. Yes, the build kit on the Fuel EX isn’t as trick as you’d get with one of the sales-direct brands, but it’s all functional and in no way detracts from the stellar ride quality. Shimano’s M506 brakes impressed us with their consistent lever feel and ample stopping power, but the real deal breaker here is the 125mm-drop KS eThirty Integra post. With its neat handlebar remote you’ll never find yourself in a pickle. Even the RockShox Revelation fork felt superbly balanced with the rear suspension, where the stiffness of the frame seemed to overcome any shortcomings of the spindly 32mm fork legs. So whether you’re a seasoned rider or just getting into mountain biking, the Trek Fuel EX 7 29 will make everything feel that little bit easier. It rockets up climbs, slays the descents and scorches singletrack at an eye-watering pace. It’s simply a joy to ride. And because the lion’s share of the money is in the frame, it’s the perfect partner to upgrade as your riding progresses. Its easy to put together a great bike when money isn’t the limiting factor, but to build a bike as good as the Trek Fuel EX 7 29 for just over £2k you need to sweat every detail.
