Expirience with the Trek Fuel EX 9.7 Gen 6

Trek Fuel EX 9.7 Gen 6 Review
Ludwig Döhl
For 2023, Trek has completely relaunched the Fuel EX 9.7 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 9.7 Gen 6 gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Trek wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on demanding single tracks, the Trek is one of the best models in the on demanding single tracks category. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
