Vital's SL eMTB Test Sessions - Trek Fuel EXe Review (Product Review)

The Good

The Fuel EXe has been a staple in the lightweight category for a few years thanks to its sleek frame design and natural motor feel, but how do its abilities fair against the latest SL bikes?

Overall Review

Trek's Fuel EXe is part of the SL e-bike club that strives to strike the lowest bottom line when it comes to weight by utilizing a smaller battery and motor. Like Specialized's Levo SL or Orbea's Rise, the Fuel EXe aims to give riders enough juice to get up climbs with moderate input, matched with a riding experience that mirrors a regular mountain bike ride. And it manages to achieve this in a frame design that nearly hides the fact it's an e-bike.

Review - 2023 Trek Fuel EXe (Product Review)

Overall Review

The world of e-bikes feels like it has been in an arms race these past couple of years. New models tout larger batteries and more powerful motors. Additionally, more electronic integrations, displays, and gadgets. This has left the world of lighter e-bikes in the hands of only a few players. Today, Trek does an about-face and offers the Fuel EXe - a 40-pound e-bike that to us, represents a new wave of eMTB. Highlights OCLV Carbon frame 29-inch wheels (mixed-wheel compatible) 140mm (5.5-inches) of rear-wheel travel // 150mm (5.9-inches) fork travel ABP suspension design Internal cable routing...

Vital Review - 2022 Trek Rail 9.9 XX1 AXS (Product Review)

Overall Review

E-bikes are an ever-evolving product category. Any mountain biker wary of yearly incrementalism will find the e-bike landscape downright overwhelming. Trek's new Rail 9.9 line pushes the limits of technological integration and incorporates a host of new elements. Is it too much? Did they forget about the actual bike in the process? Let's dig in and sort it out. Highlights 160mm (6.2-inches) front travel // 150mm (5.9-inches) rear travel Trek ABP suspension design Carbon frame 29-inch wheels Mino Link adjustable geometry Bosch Performance Line CX Motor - 85Nm 750Wh battery Bosch Smart system...
