Overview
It's right for you if...
Performance matters to you, but so does the price tag. You want all of the tech you'll find in the top-of-the-line Fuel EXe, but in a bike that's built for your budget. You want upgraded components you can trust to keep ripping, and a robust alloy frame that rallies through the rough and gives you just enough power on the ups.
The tech you get
An Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame with TQ's HPR50 harmonic pin ring drive system, a fully-encased 360Wh removable battery, and smart charging port. An integrated LED display and handlebar remote that are easy to use on the fly. 150mm FOX Rhythm 36 front suspension with Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper, and 140mm FOX Performance Float X rear suspension. Plus, wide, Tubeless Ready Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels, a 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and a dropper post.
The final word
If you want all the tech of the top-tier Fuel EXe without the sticker shock, Fuel EXe 8 is for you. You get the same drive system, display, and geometry of its carbon counterpart, plus an upgraded suspension package and Shimano XT drivetrain— on a more economical alloy chassis.
Why you'll love it
- You get all the tech of our top-end light e-MTB without a price tag that makes you say ouch
- Its upgraded FOX suspension package smooths the trail while 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain shifts clean under load
- Its tiny but mighty TQ motor is tuned for the trail, keeping things quiet so you can stay in the moment, and ramps up power with you for a natural ride feel
- The integrated display, charging port, and controls are simple to use, sleek, and intuitive
- You can tweak your geometry with Mino Link, or add an adjustable angle headset to take even more control

Best All-Around
"Overall, the Trek Fuel EXe is a bike that ranked consistently well across the board when it came to performance on the trail. It does everything pretty darn well and would be a great jack of all trades lightweight eBike for those looking to have a mid-power eMTB for trail shredding fun."
2022 Gear of the Year
"This is the first time an e-bike has made my Gear of the Year list [...] in addition to being silent, the HPR50 motor feels frictionless while pedaling. The assistance comes on with a subtlety that makes it feel like you are a younger, fitter version of yourself with a tailwind at your back."

Editor's Choice
"The low-key, silent assist is just enough, keeping it riding like a real mountain bike but making the climbs less sucky. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good high-power eMTB, but I loved this bike, too. Trek’s Fuel EX’s handling is dialed, and this is merely an enhanced version of that. I tested the top model, but, fortunately, there are also mid-priced models that eschew some of the AirWiz(ardy) without giving up any of what makes this bike rad."

"Nothing less than a great leap forward for eMTBs"
"There are times when I am left amazed by something new and shiny, and that is the case with the Trek Fuel Exe...I might even go as far as to call it an engineering marvel."
