The Brand New Trek Top Fuel 7 Has Something Unexpected 

Is that a new generation without the knock block or is it the same gen frame from 23. ? I would appreciate your reply, thanks

I plan to hit angel fire with you for sure!

Yeah 6' is definitely size Large in Trek Sizing. Trek does have a good range of sizing, so it's hard to end up in a sizing hole with them

I’ll definitely see if I can! I think they are getting some in soon

Definitely! Just hard to find those around here right now.

So true 🤣

For a lot of riders the enduro bike as only bike works fine. Buy the bike for the trails you like to ride, not your local trails. I do the enduro bike as only bike myself and I literally did an XC race on it Saturday, and a bike park day the week before. I ride enough bike park to want the big bike, but I only do around 8-10 park days a season, so can't really justify buying a DH bike just for park season. If I had the budget for a 2nd bike I'd totally have a downcountry bike like the Top Fuel for XC trails. Though the downhill speed of the enduro bike is pretty addictive, even on blue trails.

@@mrvwbug4423 I’m not saying a enduro bike wouldn’t work on a XC trails or a blue/green trail. I’m just saying it’s too much bike for the type of trail. Even the XC race you just did. If you had a XC/DC bike you would of been faster, more efficient and less tired then using a big heavy down hill focused rig. It is what it is. But whatever makes you happy bro. That’s all that matters.

@@joshuaallswang8016 If I could afford to have a stable of bikes I would have a bike for every occasion haha. But for a "one bike for everything" I'll take the big bike.

@@mrvwbug4423 I feel you man, I have a couple bikes myself. But I would say the best compromise would be a trail bike forsure A 150/140 trail bike would be a beast in most conditions. Personally I like shorter travel trail bikes. My trance is a 140/120.

It just depends what kind of riding you’re doing, if you’re riding tough trails then I would do the slash but light XC style trails I would do the top fuel

It’s the newer model and you can remove the knock block on this one

@@MattyActive I appreciate that, I haven't got a good handle on researching stuff online, you really helped me. Thank you and I love your channel

Yes it is for sure

@MattyActive How does this bike compare to the Roscoe 9 brother? For light trail/gravel work. I want to try a softer ride with a full susp. Do you lose speed on this full susp? Or is it still fast like my 9 Roscoe?

XT builds are usually the sweet spot, reasonably light and super reliable.

Which brand isn't expensive

@@socialising6037 Polygon is pretty reasonable...comparatively speaking.

@@rustychain9518 I guess it's down to how into it you are polygon is a great starter bike the different between them and trek will probably be noticeable if you had both bikes in person. Components and suspension.

Here in Austria we buy Canyon, Cube and Rose Bikes. All US Brands are Way too expensive in Europe

@@socialising6037 I have a Trek Fuel EX 7 Gen 6 and my wife has a Polygon Siskiu D7. She doesn't ride rocks so I got her an XC bike...it's a little heavy but very nice.

Nope, the top fuel is now Treks “down country bike” It went from 100 front and rear, to now 120 front and rear. They would never get rid of the top fuel. All the brands are making a down country bike to complement there 100 travel XC race bikes. Treks uses the super caliber as there flagship XC race bike now.
