I traded my 2019 Roscoe 8 in for a 2021 Trek Fuel EX 7! This is the Seneca Park Trail in Victor, NY.

love this bike, year two and still going strong, changed fork, brakes tires and handlebar and it smashes bike parks (advanced trails). the best part about this bike that it's not only a good geometry, it looks very visually appealing as well.

I've got the exact same bike / color / large frame...It's my favorite bike out of all full suspension bikes i've owned.

I have never had a full squish bike!! Only front forks!!! Im so hesitant to switch from a hard tail!!
@dreybrouck4 ай бұрын
My experience has been great. It’s just as good at climbing as my hardtail was and much easier on my lower back allowing me to do longer rides. I do miss my hardtail from time to time, but I’m not able to have two bikes currently, so this is still my favorite do it all bike.

Size Lrg ,how tall are you? I'm looking at Lrg or M/L and the m/l seems too small. Any advice?

I'm 6'1". I was on a XL Trek Roscoe 8 before this bike. Neither bothered me, but I do like the fit of this bike better. If you are close to my height then go with the Large.

How many times have you maintained the trek fuel ex 7? By maintained I mean; how many times have you greased the pivot points and how many times have you serviced the shock.
@dreybrouck2 жыл бұрын
It’s less than 1 year old, so I haven’t done any of that yet. I just ordered some torque wrenches and a shock pump. I plan to grease and tighten all the bolts this week. My rear shock sag is definitely low, so I plan to add some air to it.

Sorry I just cleaned house. I started mountain biking again recently and plan on focusing on that going forward. I honestly didn't think anyone would notice since they were all 10+ years old, lol.

Do you like the Roscoe 8 or fuel ex 7 more? I’m thinking about both of those bikes? Also which one is better at climbing?
@dreybrouck2 жыл бұрын
Overall I prefer the Fuel. It climbs better and the FS helps with the really rooted trails I ride often.

Does it climb good?
@dreybrouck Жыл бұрын
Yes. I think it climbs better than my hardtail. Possibly because of 29” vs 27” tires, but I think it’s better at keeping traction. I don’t lock out the suspension when I climb.

I have a fuel ex 9.8 2021 and I love it!! It's kinda a do it all bike...iv done everything except downhill on, even though it does have a beefy 36 fox on it...I'm not brave enough, yet!! Enjoy the bike...I'm sure u will have some great times on it 👍👍

I'm almost 2 month into it and this bike doesn't leave me wanting for anything! I'm not hitting huge jumps or DH yet, so it's just right for building my skills. I had a ton of pedal strikes at first while I got used to riding a FS bike, but that really rare now. Climbing is excellent, possibly even better than my hardtail, but this could just be improved fitness now that I'm riding much more regularly.
@xboxhtr20232 жыл бұрын
Does the shock get stiff when you pedal? Is it good at climbing? Also is the frame durable? I’m thinking about getting a ex 7 2022.
@sysadminshow2 жыл бұрын
Shocks stay pretty loose when pedaling, but not in a bad way. It climbs great, better than my Roscoe 8, probably because of the larger wheels. I’ve had no frame issues, seems solid. I don’t do crazy jumps, but I do 5ft drops regularly with no issues.

How’s the fork?
@dreybrouck2 жыл бұрын
For the riding I do the fork is working great. I’ve hit roots and rocks while on step descents and it take the hit as I would expect. I’ve never tried a DH bike, so I don’t have anything more advanced to compare it with.
