Trek's original trail bike returns as the do-it-all king.

Cons
  1. One-piece handlebar might be too stiff for some riders
  2. Paint chips easily

The new Trek Fuel EX impresses with a very fun riding experience, numerous adjustment options, and many cool feature solutions, also available for the more affordable aluminum model. However, the stylish trail bike has weaknesses when it comes to...

Pros
  1. extremely versatile adjustable geometry and kinematics
  2. very fun riding behavior
  3. excellent climbing performance
  4. cool detail solutions, which also affect the aluminum frame
Cons
  1. Rattling multitool in the headtube
  2. Extremely juicy price for the tested top model

  3. solid feel to the frame
Cons
  1. Doesn’t feel as sprightly on climbs as some
  2. tyres give up corner traction too easily in loose or muddy conditions
