    Summary

    Expirience with the Trek Top Fuel 9.8 XT

    Trek Top Fuel 9.8 XT Review The Top Fuel 9.8 XT 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. Trek is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. The Trek Downcountry-Bike shows what its capable of in the downhill. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
