TREK FUEL EX 8 GX MOUNTAIN BIKE 2021
SRAM 12-speed components, a tough aluminium frame and FOX
shock unit help make the Trek Fuel EX 8 GX Mountain Bike
perfect for trail riding of any kind. With 140mm of travel
from the Rhythm 34 fork and 130mm from the Performance
Float EVOL rear shock, traction is superb whilst larger
hits are equally well dealt with and by flipping the Mino
Link over the angles can be slackened for greater stability
at speed.
The 10-52 tooth 12-speed cassette has the largest range
available, ensuring that the right ratio is always at hand
and the 4-piston G2 R hydraulic disc brakes give great
control when the time comes to head downhill. Confidence is
also boosted by the inclusion of the Bontrager Line Dropper
seatpost which allows the saddle to be quickly dropped out
of the way for greater manoeuvrability when required.
Wide Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels provide good support for
the XR4 Team Issue tyres, and by using 27.5” wheels on the
smaller sized bikes and 29” on the larger sizes handling
has been kept consistent for all riders. As both wheelset
and tyres are tubeless-ready, the conversion is simple,
allowing for lower pressures and improved grip without the
risk of pinch punctures.
