Less is more
When we’re on the trail and connecting with nature, we don’t want to hear more than the sound of our tyres on the dirt, the wind through the trees, and the hoots and shouts of our riding crew. Up until now, e-bikes have pulled us away from that experience with high-pitched motors that take us out of the element. The Fuel EXe is different. It’s not only quieter – it’s less annoying.
Data recorded in an anechoic chamber using a calibrated B&K 4966-h-041 microphone and Siemens SCADAS data acquisition unit with an acoustically-isolated Wahoo Kickr trainer set to 300 W total resistance and bikes in maximum-assist mode. Microphone was located 1 m laterally from the bottom bracket and 1.7 m off the floor (head height) and sampled at 51,200 Hz. Tonality calculated in Siemens Testlab Neo according to the ECMA-74:2019 standard.
While some e-bikes feel cumbersome and bulky, the Fuel EXe is light, nimble and playful, just as a trail bike should be. Its capable geometry is fine-tuned for barrelling into berms and making light work of tech trails, lacing turns through tight aspens and gnawing through rowdy rock gardens. Instead of being flung uphill like a rocket launcher, the Fuel EXe’s assist feels natural, barely there – like an extension of your own power, so you can ride just as you would on a traditional mountain bike.
Built like a trail bike. Rips like a trail bike.
Carbon or alloy – the choice is yours
Now with both carbon and aluminium offerings, the Fuel EXe offers incredible electric performance to meet your needs and budget. Test your mettle with the Fuel EXe Alloy or go ultra light and lively with the Fuel EXe Carbon.
Dialled for how you ride
The Mino Link lets you quickly adjust your geometry, so your bike is always tuned for the terrain and your riding style. Plus, you can take geometry tweaks even further with adjustable angle headset cups on the Fuel EXe Alloy (sold separately).
Simple battery solution
In-tube battery storage keeps your battery securely stashed while you ride, but simple to remove with just an hex wrench.
Non-stop suspension
Trek’s exclusive Active Braking Pivot keeps your suspension active while you’re braking (which is often when you need it most).
