Expirience with the Trek Fuel EX 7

Ludwig Döhl You want to ride mainly on demanding single tracks? Then you will love the Trek All Mountain. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Trek, at 14,5 kg. Thus, the Fuel EX 7 is one of the lighter All Mountain that you get for 2949 Euro . The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the Trek Fully leaves the remaining All Mountains in the dust. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
