The Trek Fuel EXe has just received the 2023 Time Magazine "Best New Invention" award!
Fuel EXe 8 is a trail-ready aluminum electric mountain bike that quietly assists you on the climbs so you've got all the power you need on descents.
Like its carbon counterpart, it looks and handles like a traditional trail bike, but with the added support of a tiny-but-mighty harmonic pin ring drive system with a sleek top-tube display unit and compact remote. It comes ready to rip with upgraded parts where they matter most, like a FOX suspension package, wide Bontrager Line Comp Tubeless Ready wheels, and SRAM's 12-speed wireless GX AXS transmission.
Color Options: Rage Red to Deep Dark Blue Fade & Matte Keswick
