    Summary

    Expirience with the Trek Fuel EX 9.8 XT Gen 6

    Trek Fuel EX 9.8 XT Gen 6 Review For 2023, Trek has completely relaunched the Fuel EX 9.8 XT Gen 6 and has not spilled the beans, but rather made do. The combination of a 64,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the All Mountain von Trek, even if you ride fast. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. But the Trek Fuel EX 9.8 XT Gen 6 still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Trek installed higher-quality wheels. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek is behind its products.
