I got one, and the way it handles the bottom of the shock stroke is mindblowing for a little bike

I don’t think I’ve seen one negative review of this bike so far, seems very promising.

Man, while this bike does sound like a sweet bit of kit, I can't help but be impressed by your riding. You shred hard AF! I'm showing my age here, but watching this immediately took me back to the Speedor bike race scene from Return of the Jedi. 😆 👌

TREK says you can run this thing 140/130 as well. Great Review man.

Great stuff as usual! If I were to ever buy a full suspension bike (I'm a hardtail loving old dude) this is the category of bike I would buy. 👍

Great review. I have a Fuel 9.8 and it rides great. Also have the Pikes on it.

Sounds like a great bike. Many of your comments would apply to my Tallboy 4 in 440 chainstay mode

Got the last gen, made some modifications, spec'ed to the moon ;D Kinda dont need the new one, but its still a fantastic bike the " old " gen and the new one also :)
@lordgibbness2 ай бұрын
The old model is great. Basically a lightweight trail bike. I've also upgraded mine a lot and loving it. No plans to change it.

Top Fuel with an over-stroked shock, making it 130 rear, and a 140 fork making the head angle 65, would be a SICK trail ripper.

That is basically Fuel Ex gen 5, with slightly updated geo 😉

Doesn’t need 130mm. Just needs better kinematics.

How does it compare to the Epic Evo 8, I believe you road that not too long ago. Great reviews by the way, really enjoy your videos!

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a version with a flex pivot to help lower the weight for the xc crowd
@scottdouglas762 ай бұрын
Great review as always! What’s the overall weight?
@HLDefender2 ай бұрын
Your videos are amazing. I'm considering this with XTR 208/180 4 pistons . What size is this and how tall are you ?

Great review as usual 💯 I feel like top fuel is the only bike that I would consider to replace my Ripley v4 I'm running my Ripley with RS Sid and Marzocchi bomber air. Bike feels like it's as close to perfection as I could get it. I'll be curious what your thoughts are.
@denniswangler64632 ай бұрын
I’m contemplating between the ripley v4s and the trek top fuel 9.8 both 2024 ( trek might be the 2025 version) having a tough time with the decision. Footnote, I do have the wr1 arrival 152 which I really love but looking good for an xc bike for smaller stuff etc

Great. How different does ot feel compared to the Yeti ASR? Is the difference big or is it minor?
@htonmusic2 ай бұрын
fork travel in the description is wrong
@milliebays18012 ай бұрын
I mean. How does it pedal compared to the old frame. Is it flexier than the old frame. What link setting are you in. What sag are you running. Hows the spring curve feel conpared to the old frame. With all due respect this is pretty much the same video that was done for the last gen top fuel. There are enough differences in the frames to provide talking points. It didnt really tell me anything unique other than maybe the seating position.

Hmm why was the last video of the same bike was deleted?
