The 2022 Fuel EX 9.7 Gen 5 from the acclaimed brand TREK is the ultimate choice for those who crave a carbon trail bike offering an array of adventures, from cruising on mellow singletracks to tackling the harshest descents and relentless climbs.

Capitalising on a light yet rugged full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with an internal storage system, this bike is paired with a formidable 140 mm FOX Rhythm 36 fork and a 130 mm FOX Float Performance rear shock. The swinger boasting TREK's efficient RE:aktiv damper ensures the ride remains smooth and in control, regardless of the trail's challenges.

The bike comes fitted with a wide-range 1x12 Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain, providing efficient gearing for every terrain. Its Line Comp 30 TLR wheels run seamlessly on a 54-tooth Rapid Drive rear hub, ensuring a quiet and resilient ride. For convenience and comfort, a Bontrager Line dropper post has been included, making trail adjustments swift and straightforward.

Braking is handled by high-power Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, giving the rider confident stopping power at every twist and turn. These features combined make the Fuel EX 9.7 Gen 5 the go-to choice for those who value not only a top-notch frame and suspension but also a reliable drivetrain and wheels.

The bike flaunts a sleek internal storage compartment, an ideal solution for storing ride essentials, and leaving the pack behind. For firmness and precision, larger 36 mm fork stanchions have been included, ensuring no flex and confident navigation on your ride.

The standover height is optimised for each rider with smaller frames (XS and S) using a dipped top tube, while straight top tubes are featured on larger frames (M+).

The bike also integrates TREK's Active Braking Pivot allowing optimal suspension control under varying accelerations and braking. TREK's innovative RE:aktiv technology offers firm support for efficient pedalling while ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrains. With the Straight Shot frame design promoting a better stiffness-to-weight balance, your riding experience is sure to be responsive, letting you push harder and maintain your line during challenging rides.
