Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 7
Trek / Trail Mountain Bikes
One bike for every kind of trail.
Fuel EX 8 is a confident and versatile trail bike built to get after it. It comes ready to rip with an Alpha NEXT Platinum frame, Fox performance suspension package with 145mm/150mm travel (rear, front), alloy Bontrager Line wheels, and a SRAM Eagle 70 transmission that keeps shifts smooth, even under load. It's topped off with 4-piston SRAM DB 8 hydraulic disc brakes to keep you stopping on a dime.

The ride, not just the specs
Fuel is the all-around trail bike: smooth on the climbs, playful on the way down, and happy on just about any trail you point it at.
If you want one mountain bike that can do a bit of everything, start here.
What makes it special
Only you can define your perfect trail bike — that's why Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with EX, go pop-happy with MX, or charge through it all with LX.
Want more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.
With a ZS standard headset, you've got tons of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodized colors.
