Expirience with the Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 6

Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 6 Review
Ludwig Döhl
For 2023, Trek has completely relaunched the Fuel EX 8 Gen 6 and has not spilled the beans, but rather made do. With a flat 64,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. With 15,65 kg, the Fuel EX 8 Gen 6 tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Trek Fully to in alpine terrain a buying recommendation in the price range 3999 Euro range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek puts a lot of trust in its products.
