2023 Trek Fuel EX e :: 7 things we loved & 1 thing we hate about this bike! 

Trek....please just give this man the bike.....pleeeaasssse

That ending! I was like oh god what is it?! I just pre ordered one 😂

Just got off the Rail 9.8XT for the last 20 months and got myself an EX-e 9.8. Pretty excited to test it out over the next year and see what it's capable of. Shame 9.9s aren't available here in Aus but maybe Trek will come to the party next year. Love that Yellow frame 💛

That one thing you hate about the bike, can fully understand. I´d hate that too 😂

Great review. I’ve been riding this bike for about three months now and it’s been perfect. I agree with everything you say.

I'm pretty familiar with the Trek rail but I've always felt it was more e than I needed most of the time. Trading some power for a lighter package, it looks like this is the setup I've been waiting for. Great video, thanks.

That is a beast, hopefully my next bike, am still enjoying my Fuel Ex 8 💪🏻

thanks for sharing review on it and you like the performance of the ex-e. sorry to hear that your ride won't be the same without it...

💯 agreed with you on all but I’m a keeper, this is changing the game completely and again ⚡️✌🏽⚡️ Good video

I've had the 9.7 model since release week with Fox suspension and Shimano gear $11k Australian full carbon frame 👌. Last 2 weeks in Derby and St Helens. Really nice light bike. Flickable and Popable and a really nice light confident feeling particularly descending. Great to ride above the 25kph cut-out and even without motor On. Got 50km (13% left)range one day with 3 big long climbs. I'm nearly back to my birth weight at 65kg with riding gear and tools so I removed one token from Fox 36 rhythm 🍴 cutlery for better midstroke. I have 90Nm levo's and noticed on really steep straight up shuttle fire road at St Helens you have to put in yourself 200+ watts to get the full 300+ watts assist out of the brilliant designed 1.8kg motor. "If you have a go it gives you a go" . You can't bludge putting in only 100w yourself like most full power current Emtbs. If you are big guy buy a 90Nm Emtb and eat more salad 🥗. It's a great achievement by Trek and TQ and most hard core riders didn't realise it was actually a Emtb. But having said all that I am not getting rid of my other Emtbs as they feel great too in different beautiful ways. It's just the Vibe mate. E=Mtb²

Great review

The motors are amazing I have the haibike flyon and those are also TQ brand motors and they do there job amazingly

If you buy one fit frame protector first,have a few scratches on mine now , I am not good on a bike but now find I can do a little more going down hill,off road so the handling is a big upgrade for me.

Great vid

still riding my '12 Fuel EX 8; perhaps it's time to get a new bike - torn between the new Madone and this bike.

I had mine for only the first ride. At about 2 miles it lost power. Two different error codes. Bike so new local Trek wasn't trained or equip to correct/reset. Waiting for a new replacement. I hope my situation was isolated.

Sweet-a$$ review of an initial gamechanger for the newer mid-power E-pony class. Just needs a TQ 60 Nm w/a 450 Wh battery and 160 rear/170 front for the Enduro trail rendering: the Trek Stash-e next year maybe? 👍 Looking forward to the other game changer Transition Relay Fazua 60 soon!💪 BTW Thanks for your trail-trials-esque skill-demo on the E-mtb, especially the j-hop loft over the log... graceful--smooth🤟🍻

What the length of the dropper?

Any comment on comparison to the current light EMTB’s available - Levo SL and Rise?

Seriously, I watched the whole video for one non-reason you didn't like the bike.

At 6'4" & 300lb, is it built for bigger guys ? Or would the Rail be better with the stronger motor? Hard tail ?

It would be interesting to know how does it feel while pedaling without assistance.

One thing I really hate also is u can't get in this colour in Australia.... but it's the perfect bike and spec for my riding I have a 1-2 hour window due to family so I can get more riding in for the same hours win win

Hey, I got the same bike and shirt 🤣

How come there's no mention on the exact power of the motor? You say everything from geo to battery capacity, but skip the exact power of the motor by just saying its a mid power ebike. It would be great if you took in consideration mentioning the power for a next time. Otherwise great video 🤙

I hate the same thing.. once you ride this e-hybride you never wanna go back!

How is the bike climbing hills? That is where I struggle!!!!!

What height are you? That looks a medium?

Haven't watched, but assume the thing you "hate" will be giving it back and not actually something about the bike. EDIT: Yep, I was right.

Chainring is tiny. The industry needs to spec 34 minimum with Eagle… new Eagle is 52T!

i bought one. One thing to dislike is no usb to power phone,

Wish Trek could have done this bike without the ugly gusset from the top tube to the seat post

Only 2 hours without a range extender? My Levo SL beats that by a couple of hours.

A massive con with Trek Fuel EX or EXe is they care more about the bike looking good > performance. The $11.5k AUD EXe version has Fox's barebones Rhythm suspension, even the top spec EXe $13.5k AUD one comes with 2nd Tier Rockshox. The standard Fuel does the same thing, you pay $12.1k AUD For GX AXS version and you get bloody Performance Fox! But they'll put their in house carbon wheels which weigh more than a good alloy set + a fancy $500 RRP one piece handlebar that everyone hates. Trek MTBs are specced by industrial designers, not MTBers. This is a typical "I don't have the journalistic integrity/pull to actually make any real criticisms because it'll chew intol too much of my annual revenue if I piss off [insert brand]". Flow Mountain Bike are the same (probably worse). Predictably, every review is "Everything is the best" and the one thing they hate is something token like "the grips". That's the saddest thing about the bike journo industry: they can't make actual criticisms for the most part (unlike the auto industry. If Top Gear rags on the latest BMW, BMW can't not afford to not send Topgear another BMW to review again). If you want genuine MTB journalism, look up Seb Stott at Pinkbike, Paul Aston (private), NSMB (epecially Andrew Major and Cam McRae) and Blister Reviews (David Golay).

Well that was disappointing video and a waste of time to say you want to share something you don’t like to keep people engaged and then say something rather stupid In short / it’s like Orbea Rise with LESS power and MORE expensive. Stick to Orbea

We need real reviews and not BS sucking up to the companies that sent you a demo.
