Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 7

Ludwig Döhl With 120 mm of travel on the fork, the Top Fuel 7 is one of the downcountry bikes which tries to balance fun on the descent and sporty pace on the ascent. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Trek. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Downcountry-Bike of Trek. With a total weight of 14,4 kg, the Downcountry-Bike of Trek is one of the heavier Downcountry-Bike that you get for under under 3000 Euro. A shout out to Trek – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Top Fuel 7 for tours with lots of high meters a benchmark in the price range under 3000 Euro. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
