    Summary

    Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 9.8 GX

    Trek Top Fuel 9.8 GX Review The Top Fuel 9.8 GX 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 moderate 66 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. Trek gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
