Expirience with the Trek Fuel EX 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6

Trek Fuel EX 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6 Review
Ludwig Döhl
For 2023, Trek has completely relaunched the Fuel EX 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6 and has not spilled the beans, but rather made do. The flat 64,5 degree head tube angle of the Trek Fuel EX 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6 oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Fuel EX 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
