The Trek Fuel EXe is a mid-powered electric mountain bike that ticks a whole load of boxes, not least weight, geometry and handling

Pros
  1. Great geometry and sizing, handling blurs the line between enduro and trail riding, TQ motor is easily the quietest to date.
Cons
  1. Shock tune is a little too firm in compression, BITS tool rattles in the steerer tube, would benefit from a front tyre with a more pronounced edge.

Trek has really hit the ground running with the new Fuel EXe. The motor is superb, geometry great and overall ride feel and handling impressive

Pros
  1. Great geometry
  2. impressive ride balance
  3. very natural feel to the motor
  4. almost silent
  5. solid frame feel
Cons
  1. Seriously expensive
  2. tyres lack bite and aren’t tough enough
  3. shock tune could be lighter

Bikerumor

Tyler Benedict

The Trek Fuel EXe is a bit of an outlier in the current e-MTB market. Most e-mountain bikes fall into one of two categories: High-powered, long-travel beasts, or lightweight, short-travel models with lower-power systems.
