FIRST RIDE REVIEW
The new trek fuel ex review.
Photos & Words by Dario DiGiulio
As mountain biking has evolved into what it is today, the trails we ride on have slowly but surely raised the bar of what modern bikes have to keep up with. Sure, some tracks have been sanitized over time, but there’s no question that the pointy end of the sport has kept pushing forward. As a result, trail bikes have had to pick up the pace to match the expectations of the average rider, leading to more capable and confident rigs with every new model. Stepping up to the plate, we have the evolved version of the Trek Fuel EX, Trek’s mainstay trail bike. This time it’s really meant to do it all, riding anywhere and doing anything. Being this adaptable can be a tricky task though, so has Trek painted themselves into a corner?
The new Trek Fuel EX breaks just about every mold that the prior generations had fit into, with a full-on redesign for the new model. The name of the game here is adaptability, whether in the geometry, the suspension kinematics, or even what size wheels you’ll run. Thanks to their Mino Link flip chip and two sets of press-in headset cups, you can shift the character of this bike drastically to suit your terrain and preference. As a result, it’s a bit hard to parse out the specific geometry of the bike (however Trek’s site features a geometry tool to let you do so), so I’ll just speak to it in its most neutral form, which is where many will likely settle. There are a whopping 8 size variations to this bike from XS to XXL, so it’s worth digging through the geometry tables to see which might suit you best. They’re all sporting 140mm of rear travel with a 150mm fork, upping the numbers on the prior generation by 10mm.
I’ve been testing the large frame, which puts the reach and stack at around 485mm and 621mm, which are in line with the majority of the industry right now. In keeping with the new Trek Fuel EX’s theme of being adaptable and capable. In its neutral-low setting, the bike comes with a 64.5-degree head tube angle and the effective seat tube angle sits at 77.2-degrees. Chainstays shift with the frame size, and on a large come in at 440mm. Thanks to the Mino Link flip chip, you can adjust bottom bracket height by 8mm up from the slammed 38mm drop in stock configuration, with a 0.6° steeper head tube and seat tube angle. The more significant head tube adjustment comes from the independent press-in headset cups that Trek supplies, which can steepen or slacken things by a full degree, giving a very wide range of handling characteristics. The last frame toggle is the progression flip chip, offering a simple more or less option to tailor the suspension feel and offer uncompromised coil shock compatibility.
As is trend right now, you can set the Fuel Ex up as a mullet, simply by popping a 27.5” wheel in the rear, swapping the Mino Link to high mode, and bumping up fork travel to 160mm. The bike comes stock as a 29er front and rear (or 27.5″ in XS and Small), so you’ll have to make this change on your own accord.
A notable thing lacking from the newest Fuel EX its the Knock Block – you’ll find no such thing on this frame. X-up fans take note, as this is a big move for the engineers in Waterloo, Wisconsin, and was necessary to achieve the headset adjustment range they wanted. Trek has also moved away from the RE:aktiv damper shock, now simply relying on an off-the-shelf model. Still included in the frames are the handy-dandy stash box in the down tube, with what I think might be the best weather sealing of any of the options on the market at this point, and a neat BITS tool roll.
Build kits come in as many flavors as the sizes, and the range of options is quite extensive, beginning at a respectable $3,699. I’ve been on the highest end build, the 9.9 AXS especial, coming in at a healthy $10,749. From Bontrager Line 30 carbon wheels, to the RSL one-piece carbon cockpit, to the XX1 drivetrain, just about everything is as nice as it gets, as you’d hope for this kind of money.
At my height of 6’3”, the geo combination of the Neutral-Low-More flip chip configuration on the large size makes for a really comfortable fit, one that feels stable enough at speed while still remaining lively for your average trail. I started my time testing the bright yellow Trek up in Whistler, riding some gnarly rocky pedal-access trails around the Valley. This was a great context for deciding where I stood on the less or more progression debate, and I settled on the latter end of the spectrum. Increased bottom-out resistance and a more supple top of travel were worth a slightly punchier suspension feel, and I stand by that choice for most of the riding I have around me. On my home trails in Bellingham, the Fuel has been a choice companion for fast and fun rides in our local trail systems, where technical and engaging climbs lead to fast, rooty, and jump-filled descents. My general synopsis is that this is a bike that loves to ride fast, both up and down.
The climbing characteristics are comfortable and neutral, without wallowing too much or lacking grip in trickier terrain. Like many of the take-aways of the bike as it comes stock, things are extra-medium, in the best way. Compared to the new Hightower, the bike has slightly less support, but is significantly better in rough terrain and successive hits. Compared to the Stumpjumper EVO, the Fuel EX is definitely more of a trail bike, less of the all-mountain enduro-lite ride that the Specialized offers. All three bikes serve as a nice gradient from the lighter and sportier end of the trail spectrum to the burlier and more capable side of the category. Sitting pretty right in the middle is the Fuel EX, but I’m sure one could tweak it to either of the other extremes, given how much variability is baked into this frame.
Build kit notes are mostly positive, which you’d hope to see from the highest end build. My main gripe is with the Bontrager SE5 tires, which are some the least confidence-inspiring I’ve ridden in recent memory. The casing and tread pattern are fine, but the compound doesn’t seem to want to hook up anywhere, whether it’s dry loose terrain, rock slabs, and especially wet roots. This would be an immediate swap in my book, and I’d just keep the stock tires to run in the rear when conditions are dry and beat at the peak of summer.
The removable shuttle pad doesn’t seem to want to stay close to the frame, and bows out slightly when attached, giving the downtime a funny bulged look to it. One other frame annoyance has been a recurring suspension knock, despite chasing through every bolt in the linkage with a torque wrench. I still have yet to find the culprit, but luckily it’s not very noticeable when riding.
As a system, I’ve been more than impressed by Trek’s work on the new Fuel EX. Not only does it feel quick and confidant in the stock configuration, it also offers a whole host of layout options to better cater the bike to your preferences.

THE WOLF’S FIRST IMPRESSION
To close out our review of the new Trek Fuel Ex, it’s clear that Trek’s engineers and designers set out to design a bike that caters to that wide center of the market – the trail bike – where most riders spend their time, and where a bike can take many forms. In that goal, they found success. Sure some riders may feel the new Fuel EX has departed from what they were used to and liked about the bike, but many other riders will likely welcome the advancements in capability and confidence on the trail. The Fuel EX is a highly adaptable bike that feels comfortable in a really wide variety of terrain but doesn’t confuse itself for anything more or less. Bike riders, rejoice.

Trek Fuel EX 7 29 review
Loads of modern tech wrapped around a well-known ride feel
Russell Eich / Immediate Media

Excellent rear suspension, sharp looks, modern tech, name brand notoriety
Narrow, flat bar, short top tube, front suspension can’t keep up with rear end
![trek fuel 7 2022 trek fuel 7 2022](https://c02.purpledshub.com/uploads/sites/39/2019/03/dsc_6692-1519696853465-hpptqfrw7pm6-1000-100-0604bf2.jpg?webp=1&w=1200)
Trek’s Fuel EX 7 is an aluminum 29er trail bike with 130mm travel on both ends. Despite being loaded with modern technology, it reminded me of bikes from not long ago. As such, the Fuel EX 7 is an excellent bridge between old, outdated technology and all the new, modern, fun stuff we have now.

Base level is previous year’s top tier
This Fuel EX 7 sits one up from the starting point in Trek’s robust 13-model Fuel EX line up. Yet, you’d never know it. Trek has done a remarkable job on the aesthetics. Every part looks perfectly matched for a seamless appearance overall. That’s the beauty of having a giant house brand like Bontrager, Trek controls every aspect and detail.
It’s more than just the looks though. It’s loaded with the same technology as the brand’s expensive rigs. It uses the same Active Braking Pivot and Full Floater rear suspension designs, and is outfitted with wide 29in rims laced to Boost hubs, and even has an internally routed dropper post.
The frame is stiff front to back, has adjustable geometry, and remained creak-free. Trek’s turn-reducing, down tube-saving Knock Block headset felt odd when dorking around in parking lots but stayed largely unnoticeable on the trail.
Time travel back 10 or more years and this bike would’ve blown minds. It’s a lot of bike for the money and the parts are totally functional as is, and compatible with nicer components if and when needed.
Rear end overshadows the front
Trek’s Active Braking Pivot and Full Floater technologies make up the 130mm travel rear suspension. As one of the largest bike companies, Trek is able to work with Fox and RockShox and get the exact rear shock tune it wants for its bikes. It shows. The Fuel EX 7’s rear suspension comes closer to that mythical floating feeling than most.
On climbs, both traction and bump isolation were superb. And even though the Fox Performance Float damper had a lockout lever, I never needed or even wanted to flip it.
Descending saw much of the same with excellent support and tracking through rough trail sections. Throughout the 130mm of travel, it was smoothly consistent with zero hiccups or spiking. Trek has employed its ABP rear end for years and has really nailed its rear suspension leverage ratios: supple off the top, supportive in the middle, and good at resisting bottom out.
As good as the rear end was, the Reba RL fork up front wasn’t. RockShox Solo Air spring and Motion Control damping are outclassed compared to its own Charger damper and Fox’s Fit, Grip or Rhythm internals. The chassis was also too thin for a 29er wheel with 130mm of travel. Both of those things made for a long fork and the 32mm stanchions weren’t up to the task with noticeable flexing when whipping through turns.
The bike to bring riders into the new generation
Riding the Fuel EX 7 reminded me of bikes from a few years back. Thankfully, I’m not talking high-post hardtails with V-brakes and 600mm bars, but rather bikes of the mid 2000s.
A lot of this nostalgia came from the flat 750mm bar and 60mm stem. The geometry, too, nods at XC and light trail ripping with a 67.7 degree head angle which keeps the front end responsive. Trek also tilted the seat angle up at a pedal-friendly 74.7 degrees and the reach is a tad shorter than other 130mm travel 29ers.
Granted those numbers are close to today’s standards, but the riding position provided sits the rider forward, similar to how bikes felt years ago before everything got laid back and low.
That silhouette creates a trail rig that leans a bit towards the XC side, which for a bike in this sub $3,000 price range likely works very well for its intended audience. All told it felt more similar to bikes before the all-consuming long, low, slack phenomenon took over.
Bottom line: modern tech with a familiar feel
This bike is perfect for riders who prefer bikes a little more like they used to be, or for folks getting back into the sport after some time away. It’s brilliant for what it is as much as what it’s not.
It’s not super long, low, or slack. It’s not going to feel completely foreign to someone who was into riding in the past like some of today’s mega-stretched out rigs could.
Yet, it’s still loaded with all of the modern day tech. Boost hubs, single-ring drivetrain, and a dialed rear end all contribute to making a ride that is light years better than a bike from a few years back. All together it makes the Fuel EX 7 an excellent first ride or re-introduction into trail riding.
The Fuel EX 7 29 retails at £2,250 / $2,499.99 / AU$3,299 and can be purchased at Trek Bikes and local Trek bike shops.

Trek’s Top Fuel delivers superlative short-travel suspension performance but it’s definitely a trail bike not an XC bike
Infectiously agile and playful vibe
Superlative suspension feel
Seriously tight tracking frame
Trail tough kit
Internal storage
Too heavy for XC racing
Simple fork damper
Tight internal storage access
Yawning gap between this and the Supercaliber

For a bike that is so capable on the descents, though, the Top Fuel still packs a mighty punch when it comes to gaining elevation..
Great suspension performance
Frame storage
Strong climbing performance
Knockblock isn't as well executed as other brand's versions
Works well when pushing hard, but might not be the most comfortable for all

Dropper posts
![Dropper posts Dropper posts](https://www.sefiles.net/images/library/site/se-features-19-dropper-post.jpg)
A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.
Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.
Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
Will my bike have a curved top tube?
![Will my bike have a curved top tube? Will my bike have a curved top tube?](https://www.sefiles.net/images/library/features/MTB_standover_16x9_FuelEx.jpg)
Smaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. Larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.

"A world-class trail bike"
"Fuel EX is a beautifully balanced and capable trail bike. The rear suspension is beautiful; as close to ideal as any bike I've ridden. It's sensitive where you want it to be, firm and crisp where it should be. It feels deep and controls big hits very well, and there's a nice platform for pedaling, and to pump and pop off when you're playing."
"Good at pleasing everybody"
"Fuel EX has a few tricks that help it keep a level head when outside of its comfort zone, and to be a cloud on rails when it's in the zone. Everything about the Fuel EX, which was already good at pleasing everybody, is now even better at it."
"An absolute trail rocket"
"Thanks to its burlier components, increased travel, and more aggressive geometry, it has become more of a shredder than ever! More performance, fun, and trail prowess."

New dual suspension bike? Scott Spark 960 vs Trek Top Fuel 7
By dupreeze1980 January 9, 2022 in What bike to buy
Recommended Posts
Dupreeze1980.
Can I please get some advice in deciding between Scott Spark 960 or Trek Top Fuel 7.
Spark 960 vs the Top Fuel 7 looks very similar. Only a better front shock in the Trek?
Should I rather go for the Trek. Just concerned about resale, is Scott not much more popular?

trek also has a better rear shock and frame storage
trek will also be lighter ( by like 300 grams ) but not by much
![trek fuel 7 2022 keithbe](https://assets.bikehub.co.za/profile/photo-thumb-49114.png)
The bike that fits best! Reach, standing height etc. are most important. Components can be added when needed.
The wrong fitting bike is an expensive lesson to learn.

Priority is getting the one which is the correct size for you. Sizing is vital to enjoying a comfortable and confident ride. Don't go for the wrong size cause you will end up paying school fees!
Providing you can get the right size in both bikes I'd also go for the Trek. Both are great bikes with different strengths and weaknesses. The Trek is better on the downs than the Scott, while the Scott is a bit better at technical climbing. The fork on the Scott is not great, whilst the 35 on the Trek is acceptable, but not the best though. Either can be upgraded (I have a SID the classifieds if you want to straight away 😀 ). Last but not least for whichever bike you get, make sure you have a decent shock pump and get your pressures dialed correctly for the correct sag front and rear.
Thanks will test both. Currently on XL hardtail that I will trade in for another XL.
I like the frame storage but not enough to influence my decision. Like the now hidden back shock of the Scott too.
Still just worried if resale will be same similar between the two products.

just remember that hidden shock adds lots of complication to working on it
remote lock not working lekker ? cool then how much of that bike needs to be disassembled to get to the dial ?

If you close to 1.9m in height then XL it is. Many people are actually up sizing lately. For under 60k I see a xl super calibre on classifieds.
Interesting two bikes, keen to see how your test rides go.

Trek does have a lifetime warranty on the frames for the first owner. Scott has a 5 year warranty.
The dropper on a Trek XL also has 20mm more travel than the Scott - 170mm vs 150mm.

Is that warantee transferable ?
PS .. that warantee was useless when my EX5 hub bearings disintegrated in less than 1000km, from NEW. Trek was happy to sell a new hub, even stating it is a standard repair item .... Knipe_Racing made a custom puller to get the outer race out.
These biked may be okay for new buyers ... 2nd hand buyers proceed forewarned

That hidden shock is either revolutionary or a gimmick that adds very little.
As I've recently welcomed a new top fuel 7 to the family I am very biased.
I've owned the new Spark and now have a Top Fuel, so I have some experience. To get the shock out of the Spark you need to remove the cranks and take the rear wheel out. Not much more of a pain than a "normal" bike. For a home mechanic, no big deal, though I am sure a dealer will add some time for labour. The Scott shock is proprietary, so a few tools and parts are needed if you want to do a full service. Also good luck trying to get hold of a bigger or smaller volume spacer if needed.
The only proprietary item on the Top Fuel is the Knockblock, which can be neutralized by buying a part from Trek or getting the Dremel out.
As for warranty, Trek just replaced a BB on my Top Fuel 9.8XT with no fuss at all.

Trek fuel ex 5 vs. Scott spark 960
- Add to quote
Tried finding a comparison for these two bike, but not a lot out there for the Scott (mostly others in the spark line). Hoping to buy one of these within the next few days, but am not sure which is the better bet. The trek is $1800 while the Scott is listed at $1900, but up until this weekend is at $1600. Just getting back into riding and am not really sure on which has the better components, and which I'll end up upgrading. Thanks,
![trek fuel 7 2022](https://www.mtbr.com/d3/avatars/s/678/678467.jpg?1666290393)
If you are just getting back into riding, start with the Scott. It has less (more manageable) suspension travel, and if it costs less, then if it fits it will be your best choice.
![trek fuel 7 2022](https://www.mtbr.com/d3/avatars/s/407/407593.jpg?1607934084)
IMO, don't waste your money with an EX5. It's such a baseline entry into the FS that it's not worth it. Go at least an EX6 and up.. As for Scott, couldn't tell you. Been seeing them more and more. I am considering one as my next bike. I demo'd a FS carbon model and loved it.

Azerbaijan’s envoy to Moscow comments on BRICS aspirations
![trek fuel 7 2022 Azerbaijan’s envoy to Moscow comments on BRICS aspirations](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.08/xxs/66c30cd52030271e8c46afbb.jpg)
Azerbaijan is interested in becoming a member of BRICS, and work is already underway in relation to its possible accession, Baku's Ambassador to Moscow Polad Bulbuloglu has said.
In an interview with TASS news agency on Sunday, Bulbuloglu said there is a long list of nations with a desire to join the economic bloc, and his country is among them.
“We talked about it with our Russian colleagues, but this is also a process and a matter of work,” Bulbuloglu told the agency, ahead of a visit to Baku by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
BRICS was founded in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, with South Africa joining in 2011. Russia currently holds the BRICS chairmanship. The group decided to accept six more states during its summit in Johannesburg in August 2023. However, Argentina declined an invitation to join in late December. Meanwhile, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates became full members at the beginning of this year.
Russia assumed the rotating chairmanship of the BRICS bloc on January 1. More than 200 events are planned for the next year, including international forums, meetings of ministers, and gatherings of task groups. The Russian city of Kazan will host the next BRICS summit in October.
![trek fuel 7 2022 EU aspirant should join BRICS instead – deputy PM](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.08/xxs/66ba7d4085f5405c845102ce.jpg)
Putin arrived in Azerbaijan on Sunday for a two-day state visit. He is set to meet his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev to discuss the development of the strategic partnership and allied relations between the neighboring countries, as well as current international and regional issues.
Azerbaijan, a major gas producer to which many EU nations have turned to make up for the sharp reduction in Russian energy supplies following the Ukrainian conflict in February 2022, is a close partner of Moscow. EU officials recently suggested that the Caucasian nation could run its natural gas through a pipeline that currently brings Russian fuel to the bloc via Ukraine. The scheme is expected to help Brussels to avoid shortages after a transit deal between Kiev and Moscow expires at the end of this year.
In July, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak said Moscow was ready to continue supplies, but stressed that the future of transit fully depends on Kiev.

Dec 2022 · Mike Levy. The downtube storage compartment is on the new bike, and while it seems like Trek has put all the things onto the latest Fuel EX, there's one that they didn't: Knock Block.

About this Review: This review is my honest opinion of the bike, which I purchased with my own money in June of 2022. My take. Getting into the world of cross country and knowing how many wins the Scott Spark 970 Mountain Bike has under its belt in the XC UCI, I had high hopes, and they were fulfilled. This bike is very agile and capable. Its sleek look, with integrated cables built into the ...
Trek fuel ex 5 vs. Scott spark 960. Tried finding a comparison for these two bike, but not a lot out there for the Scott (mostly others in the spark line). Hoping to buy one of these within the next few days, but am not sure which is the better bet. The trek is $1800 while the Scott is listed at $1900, but up until this weekend is at $1600.

Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 7. With 120 mm of travel on the fork, the Top Fuel 7 is one of the downcountry bikes which tries to balance fun on the descent and sporty pace on the ascent. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Trek. Good!
Kursk is located approximately 550 kilometers (341 miles) north of the Zaporizhzhia towns of Berdyansk and Kyrylivka, where Smirnov said Balitsky had offered to house the evacuees.

When Moscow's forces attacked the six-reactor Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on March 4, 2022, Russia not only provoked global outrage but violated its own national policy.
Zalizne had a population of around 5,000 at the start of 2022 — making it one of the largest places captured by Russian troops in recent weeks.
The Top Fuel is a quick-handling 29er with 120 mm of travel and plenty of play for ripping up and down any trail. Its lightweight, short-travel build keeps it nimble for quick, techy terrain and packs in more versatility than your average XC steed. Quite simply, the Top Fuel hits the downcountry sweet spot.
