The Trek Fuel EX 8 XT is an evolved trail bike, dialled for riders who chase down rowdy descents and want a bike that's happy to pedal back to the top and do it again. The lightweight alloy frame pairs with upgraded 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain to keep shifting precise while a 150 mm FOX Rhythm fork with Float EVOL air spring cushions the blow from rocks and roots. In-frame storage and adjustable geometry give you all the perks that the come with the carbon model, but without the lofty price tag.

The Fuel EX Gen 6 gives you 140/150 mm of travel with extra adjustability features and more stable handling, plus a more robust frame with internal storage
You'll get upgraded components where it matters most, with 12-speed XT shifting and a rock-gobbling FOX Rhythm 36 fork
With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents
We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5˝ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5˝ or 29˝, and sizes M and up get 29˝ wheels
