The fuel ex is awesome in my experience. Great bike and was on sale for 2900 like 2 weeks ago. Th3 blue one is a gen6 and i must say it climbs great
Yes, the Fuel EX line-up for Trek is like the Toyota Tacoma line-up. You really can't go wrong. Thanks for watching and adding to the conversation, my friend.
Great video, like your comments, I learnt quite a bit from both of you; please continue to inform and inspire your viewers. I've now become a subscriber.
Edward, thank you for taking the time to watch as well as leave your feedback. Both are important to us. Have a fantastic day wherever you are and whatever you are doing, and adventure safe.
Ive been looking at high end spec top fuel and fuel ex and it seems like trek is really pushing these bikes to the next level as they keep adding travel. the new top fuel is 130mm/120mm travel which seems more like all mountain and the new fuel ex is 150mm/140mm travel which seems like more enduro level. Am I wrong?
You are not far off the mark, my friend. The boundaries have definitely been blurred between the disciplines. With the new Slash being 170mm, it's hard to pick a bike that doesn't do it all. Personally, it doesn't matter what bike I am on, I ride it like I stole it, lol.
I appreciate you asking your question my friend as well as watching our video. Adventure safely.
Id add that the Fuel is way more versatile, being able to run from 65.5°-63.5° HTA, and Mullet with a 160 front fork. And while the Top Fuel is probably really nice to pedal uphill, it might get a little sketchy when it gets steep at 66°. Ive just ordered a Fuel ex Gen 6 to run as my middle travel "enduro" vs my Slash 9.8. I think if someone was looking for 1 bike (not the N+1 crowd like us), the Fuel Gen 6 is almost perfect.
I agree, my friend. I often refer to the Fuel EX as the Toyota Tacoma of Trek's lineup. Of all the bikes I own, my Fuel 9.9 is my favorite.
Thank you for taking the time to watch as well as leaving your input. Both are appreciated.
Can you please talk about the Mino link adjustment on the Top fuel, what is your preferred position?
Adam, I am so sorry it took so long to reply. Brandon wanted to craft an effective response, and we have been ridiculously busy. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
MinoLink can be set in either a HIGH or LOW positions by reversing the MinoLink nut.
Switching from HIGH to LOW will:
1) slacken head tube angle by .5 degrees therefore adding stability in high speed technical situations.
2) drops bottom bracket height by nearly 7mm for lower center of gravity. Again, for better stability on fast technical terrain.
LOW position will slow down steering and increase the possibility of pedal strike.
I’ve always kept my Top Fuel in HIGH position because that’s how I like the bike to handle. Also, I rarely ride in conditions that warrant the flip.
The swap is easy enough and I recommend anyone to try both positions for fun to experience both options and select the mode that best suits riding style and conditions.
I wanted the Roscoe but now leaning towards full squish! (Almost 40 years old)
Also want Domane SL5 for 50+ mile rides!
Go hardtail, you’ll grow hair on your chest💯
@joshuaallswang8016 🤣
I've got enough there and on my back! 😳🤣
Top Fuel 8 is $500 off
Roscoe 8 is $400 off
This is gonna be a tough decision!
@@mikebayless4268 touché🤣👌
I'm 50, Mike, and when I ride my Timberjack, I definitely feel it the next day. However, both bikes are tons of fun and offer a different experience on the trail.
Thanks for watching, my friend, and for taking the time to comment. Keep us posted on which route you take and adventure safely.
Nice Comparisson. I just want to ask if the Gen 3 top fuel still had the curve on the top tube on small size frame?
I’ve been looking at these bikes for a while,swaying towards the longer travel EX though,I’ve heard TREK is having at big sale from the start of March,do know if this is true or just a rumour?
Hey Richard. Thank you for taking the time to watch and ask your question. The answer is yes, they are having a huge sale starting tomorrow. I love my Gen 5 Fuel EX and would almost say grab one of those to save even more. Let us know which route you take. Thanks again for your support and adventure safely.
Great,thanks for the advice…
You guys have great content and would love to hit the trails over your way.
@@richardgraham7692 Thank Richard, we appreciate the feedback. Follow us on IG if you'd like. We announce group rides there and we'd love to have you join us.
These dudes really pronounced the Domane as "doh-mani". Absolute goofiness.
I hope Trek is hooking you by now!?
Nope, lol, but these things happen. 😉
