Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 8 XT

Ludwig Döhl When using the bike for on long tours with lots of trails, the Trek Top Fuel 8 XT with its 121 mm on the fork is totally spot on. The moderate 66 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. With 14,85 kg, the Downcountry-Bike of Trek tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. For 3499 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
