Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 8

Ludwig Döhl With 120 mm of travel on the fork, the Top Fuel 8 is one of the downcountry bikes which tries to balance fun on the descent and sporty pace on the ascent. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Trek Top Fuel 8 is a very balanced customer. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Trek Downcountry-Bike. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 14,3 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. The Trek Top Fuel 8 has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek is behind its products.
