Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 9.7

Ludwig Döhl The Top Fuel 9.7 is a downcountry bike with120 mm travel on the fork. So it's a balancing act between fun on the descent and sporty pace on the ascent. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek is behind its products.
