Expirience with the Trek Fuel EX 5

Trek Fuel EX 5 Review You prefer your bike to be used as a in alpine terrain? Then the Trek All Mountain and you could really hit it off. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the All Mountain of Trek. There are All Mountain in the price under 3000 Euro that have more potential downhill. With 15,7 kg, the Trek Fuel EX 5 tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
