Trek Top Fuel // Bike Review

[@masonrudolph7249]

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

[@bimmerfan729]

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

[@shaunlunney7551]

Great review man! I wonder if you could compare it to the last iteration? you rode both, would would love to hear your take on the changes!

[@S_Mendez_28]

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. 😆 👌

[@JJMilk]

Your trails look AWESOME!!!! 🤩❤️ Love your reviews. Easy and straightforward. 😎🙌🏼

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

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. 👍

[@nicholashines7686]

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

[@dizzlef3760]

Footage looks nice. Would love to know the setup

[@SpencerAstraPOV]

I really liked this bike! 🔥

[@milliebays1801]

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.

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

[@SalsaAmigoMG]

Great review… Thank you!

[@garyharmon5386]

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

[@RookYZRM1]

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.

[@bitumen83]

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

[@TheJoncic]

​@@bitumen83 but 5lbs heavier

[@nickconol1428]

Sounds like a canyon neuron

[@Jacob99174]

Yes, please

[@gweflj]

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

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a version with a flex pivot to help lower the weight for the xc crowd

[@scottaw]

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!

[@HLDefender]

Your videos are amazing. I'm considering this with XTR 208/180 4 pistons . What size is this and how tall are you ?

[@kam1l0]

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 :)

[@lordgibbness]

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.

[@pan0rama546]

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.

[@denniswangler6463]

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

[@scottdouglas76]

Great review as always! What’s the overall weight?

[@hazfilms5363]

This bike is sickkkkkk

[@sejeanders]

Great. How different does ot feel compared to the Yeti ASR? Is the difference big or is it minor?

[@htonmusic]

fork travel in the description is wrong

[@nadersedaghat5694]

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

[@terr256]

I wasn't even thinking about this bike, but now I want it lol

[@nickconol1428]

So its not an xc bike

[@gweflj]

It’s a BCBR, Downieville race bike.

[@lordgibbness]

Lightweight trail bike really...
