The minimalist design and the storage compartment in the down tube are probably the most obvious changes of the Top Fuel 9.8 GX AXS compared to its predecessor. Slightly less noticeable: The bottom bracket is now threaded instead of pressed. Especially in extremely steep terrain, this combination makes for smooth handling. The relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. There are Trailbike in the price under 8000 Euro that have more potential downhill. With the shifting components, Trek fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek is behind its products.
