Trek Top Fuel

[@mdoneg]

I picked up a 22’ 9.8 just a month ago that was a new hold over at a Trek store here in Colorado. I know it’s already 2/3 yrs old but for $3499 it was a bargain. Coming from mostly XC racing bikes, this thing wants to fly and it climbs incredibly.

[@western_pine_railfan]

Hey I also got a 9.8 too here in CO for the same price!

[@thatrandombikeguy]

Easily the best FS bike I’ve ever owned. Right out of the box it feels like a rocket!!

[@alexmacksey4510]

Just got one back in July, my first full suspension. Absolutely love it and have been riding it a lot, fell in love with biking all over again. Just recently bought a NOS 2021 slash too and it’s also amazing.

[@flacolacayo6092]

The 2018 TopFuel hit the sweet spot.

[@BIIIKES]

Let's goooo, Trek!!! I ride a 2021 Top Fuel and couldn't be happier. Amazing, amazing bikes and customer experience! 🤙

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

I think it's perfect. A well tuned 120mm travel can tackle most trails; it's all about rider skill. And I love that storage compartment. I'm glad Knock Block is removable, and now a threaded BB. Well done guys.

[@youling1997]

Remove that knock block and damage your downtube. The frame was designed with knock block in mind. If you do not want it why not just get a bike without it lol

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

[@livefreeandshred9818]

Got to ride one over the weekend and I'm very surprised how capable it is. It's a better pedaling 120mm fuel ex. Great job !

[@jerryporter4898]

Just picked up Top Fuel yesterday. Looking forward to getting on the trails!

[@AssyrianLanguage]

Make a video on the difference in usage of a Fuel EX and Top Fuel please.

[@onetorino]

This was a good video by Trek. Why not more like this?

[@rabayl01]

Good presentation, good format, extensive details, and a beautiful bike.... now I want one...

[@FloppyWaffle]

Have one ordered, here's hoping it will arrive next October.

[@michaelwoodward5787]

Just got a 7 . So far so awesome!

[@MrFrescocotone]

One of thr best if not the best short travel mtb out there

[@Spinningtunesncranks]

Think I just found my next ride🤙🏻

[@timmylittle2973]

I have been really happy with my Ticket S. i have been watching your bikes develop for over a decade and picked up a Ticket S to satiate my love of bmx. It worked. I am thinking of adding another bike to my little fleet for distance rides. The top fuel looks like it could do what I want and then some. I got my eyes on you Trek O.o good bikes for sure

[@Warhamster55]

The seat pops up what looks like about 6 inches at about 3:44 into the video? What is that about?

[@gazg00]

Dropper post........ obviously raised the seat again after dropping it.

[@hippymtnbkr]

I just got a Fuel EX 5 a month ago, this Bike has features on the the lower end model that I wish were on my entry level. Pulled the trigger A bit early. I'm bummed

[@bitumen83]

Dont be, fuel ex is much capable bike.

[@ricardoaberger8426]

What Size of bikes are there?

[@jerryporter4898]

I would really like to ride one of these with a 130 mm front fork configuration. I’ve been riding specialized epic since 2016 and even with replacing the original front fork to a 120 mm can’t get past the harsh ride feeling.

[@kasherist]

Where did he go?

[@welcometothefreeworld]

I don't get the wobbly handle bar style of riding.

[@reabbotted]

Now you just need to make a 100mm, cross-country race version :) I have to admit, I'm a little sad to see this bike move out of the cross-country race category. The supercaliber is a nice bike, but kind of a weird one without the travel of most full suspension cross-country and without the feather-weight of a hardtail.

[@trekbikes]

Procaliber or Supercaliber are the best options for a lightweight XC race bike!

[@jaysealenduro5618]

Trek the only true industry leader for all things high performance bicycles.

[@mac001texas]

There are some other very progressive and good brands like specialized, rocky mountain, and cannondale. Don't forget specialized introduced the internal storage and made things like the epic evo and cannondale had the scalpel se before trek decided to make an aggressive xc bike.

[@joetiqruk7874]

Mirib frame cina yah?

[@126AP]

Would Top Fuel 5 climb as good as an Excalibur? Lots of climbing in my area/So Cal🤠

[@zacharystover2123]

Kinda makes me want to trade in/sell my 2020 fuel ex and get one of these. I like the in frame storage. And I'd keep my '21 slash.

[@JP1THUG]

Hey guys, would i notice a big difference between my 2019 remedy 8 to the top fuel 8. Thankyou

[@trekbikes]

Two very different bikes, so absolutely!

[@neilmacpherson260]

2021 top fuel- the pinnacle? I have a 2021 top fuel, chosen because it hit the perfect blend of fast, lightish capable climbing bike plus highly capable on techy singletrack descents. For the rider who needs one bike to have fun riding, training and as an occasional xc bike plus BCBR/Alpine singletrack focused stage race, the 2021 was ideal. The droplock was amazing; super useful, XR3 tyres roll fast and grip well except in proper mud, Knockblock saved the frame and I found no issue except for in-car transportation. The changes to the fully trail style 2022 topfuel have unfortunately left a gap in treks line-up, which is a shame as a few friends are after a bike just like the 2021 version: fun for day to day single-track blasts (as is the 2022 I'm sure), usable for training, some "modern xc" races and "interesting terrain" stage races: all areas where the 2021 version has an edge. The Super Caliber is too limited in travel and a bit steep for being ideal outside being an excellent outright xc race day bike, so that's out, the 2022 Topfuel is too descent / trail orientated... A 120mm bike for occasional xc races/ regular warp speed trail-ride capable/ stage raceable bike is actually a big slice of the real MTB use world surely? Long live the 2021 Top fuel, especially mine! P.S. top marks to Trek and Bikes of Inverness for customer service & warranty service though, high praise!.... 2023? New Top Fast announced? 120mm travel, 67-67.5 degree HA, low stack height, Suntour tokyo olympics style electronic suspension or more of the excellent droplock lockout, XR3 2.4 tyres, 30mm internal rims, internal storage for marathon races spares kit, knockblock 2, erring shorter rather than max dropper posts lengths 100-130 max (I had to swap mine despite apparently being at the upper end of the size scale), perhaps dropper being integrated (ala BMC)?, downtube rockstrike protection, good routing at chainstay exit to work with both sram and shimano cable angle (like the 2021 version, less so 2022 or alloy fuel ex or procaliber), flipchip or headset cup geometry alteration, good cable routing for left or right brake lever... the perfect bike for non enduro style days and events. (just add a Remedy/ Slash for those)

[@TheeStig1]

I agree 100%! I have a 2020 Top Fuel and this seems slightly too trail oriented for me.

[@randommountainbiker9305]

Great bike, just wondering if the Remedy is going to be getting any love?

[@trekbikes]

Remedy remains unchanged for the year!

[@yasinmahmudrifat3660]

Hey are you deliver this cycle? And which country in your factory?

[@JogBird]

I bought a 2020 xt model top fuel in nov 2019 w a $400 discount... The current equiv spec model is now over $1000 more than what i paid less than 2 years ago

[@gregoryvierra6114]

This shouldn’t be surprising as a number of brands have recently announced an increase in prices.

[@ajmarecki]

Brands are having very difficult time getting parts. Everything is more expensive for them. Global logistics are a mess right now. They have to just pass the cost along to the customer.

[@welovecastingspells]

inflation + covid prices. it might go down when covid dies down but not sure. santa cruz has done this to an extreme extent, so has pretty much every other company but them like alot more

[@cedarbremner8750]

Is that Riley...? That *is* Riley

[@sngvesko4386]

How much will it cost?

[@ManuelMartinez09]

I hope this frame can hold a large water bottle, older model can´t (just for that reason declined to buy one).

[@trekbikes]

It sure can!

[@cleanwheelsaruba566]

The 2020 & 2021 was the Perfect XC Slash Trail bike...Especially for the Long Marathon rides. There a big gap now between the Pro & SuperCaliber to the Top Fuel. There is no bike now by Trek to fill this Segment, I'm a bit Disappointed and had to cancel my Top Fuel order for 2022...

[@parkinkevin]

ISCG tabs? 🤷‍♂️

[@canadianbacon5474]

I prefer the fuel ex

[@kam1l0]

Nice... I have the 2021 XTR and it rides sweet ;) Funny thing is I made it almost just like the 2022 model, 4 piston brakes, XR4's and a shorter stem before even I knew the 2022 specification ;)

[@kirkwester]

So, if you want to go fast, be lightweight and you like Trek bikes, your only choice is the Supercaliber. I am really confused about this. Basically, the fuel ex is the same bike now. This trend of mountain biking solely catering to those that only like to go downhill is short sited. Looks like my 2019 TF will be the last.

[@paulw6043]

Nice

[@The_McNoodle]

Great, now release a 2022 superfly SS, or simply another affordable SS.

[@pauleddy5146]

Well, big companies follow trends, not start them. Took a couple of years to get the geometry changes, AND I still can't afford one. I don't want the aluminum and can't afford the carbon with a decent groupset. I also prefer Fox over RoxShox. So still a no go. Looks good, but . . . until you can offer to buy direct (I am local) and I don't have to pay a middle man, I can build my own bikes, you still don't have a customer.

So the 2022 model got heavier and had an additional price increase from the previous price increase...and we get the added bonus of low availability with long wait times...awesome

[@gregoryvierra6114]

Read up on the current state of the global supply chain.

[@jkoviack]

@@gregoryvierra6114 did the current state of global supply chain vastly change since they raised the price in the same calendar year? Because they already hiked the price of the Top Fuel once in the year of 2021...and now they raised it again on the same model.

[@mister_ray]

Makes no sense to make bike optimized more for down hill (slacker, more travel, heavier) when most of riding time is spent climbing. 27+ lbs is not lightweight!

[@gregoryvierra6114]

It’s their new light trail bike. Not really considered an XC bike any longer.

[@danp2509]

Depends what you want from a ride, if you want to climb faster than you would on an enduro bike, but still keep some good speed on the downs, this is perfect. If you're looking to go as fast on the ups as possible, get the supercalibre

[@kirkwester]

Couldn't agree more. This is now the Fuel EX. How adding nearly 4 lbs to a bike is improvement is nuts. Just showing how mtbing is moving to the lazy and don't like to go uphill.

I have been a client of Trek for a few seasons, in which I have bought several bicycles of the brand, until now everything had worked well, but in my last purchase a problem has arisen in which I think that Trek has not lived up to the great brand that it claims to be. My bicycle is a Trek Top Fuel 9.8 from 2020 with frame serial number WTU064CT0158P. I managed an incident that was not accepted by the brand, without agreeing with the answer, and not to enter into legal disputes, I accepted the option of substituting said frame for a new one, through the Trek Carbon Care option, this was the end of November, the first week of January was given, the frame arrived on 02/14. Now comes the surprise, the frame comes unpainted, raw (with the Trek stickers but without the protective layer of lacquer) the error is communicated to the brand and the answer is that there has been an error and that it will take a few weeks plus delivery of the painting. I make my problem known so that users understand that behind all the marketing that TREK sells, its after-sales service and its customer protection, sometimes it is not up to par, because it cannot be understood, that from the Trek it is not look for alternatives to problems of this type
