Trek Fuel EX 8 GX AXS T-Type Gen 6 Mountain Bike

Fuel EX 8 GX AXS is a customisable trail bike designed for riders who tackle the roughest descents and cannot wait to get back to the top to do it again. The lightweight alloy frame is paired with an updated 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle wireless electronic drivetrain, while the 150mm FOX Rhythm fork absorbs impacts from rocks and roots.

• Claimed weight M - 15.88 kg

Highlights

• Internal storage: Storage inside the frame lets you carry all your ride essentials without a saddle bag.
• Active Braking Pivot: Active Braking Pivot technology has allowed our engineers to optimise how the suspension responds independently to acceleration and braking forces. This means you can enjoy more confident control when you need it most.
• Slack or steep geometry: you decide: Fit the angle-adjusting headset cups (sold separately) to customise the 64,5-degree head tube angle by one degree in either direction, without affecting bottom bracket height.
• Tune your suspension for maximum performance: Adjust the leverage rate by simply moving an adapter. The less progressive setting delivers a softer ride feel, perfect for rough trails with square-edged bumps.
