- Here's a quick look at my 2018 Trek Fuel EX 8. It is primarily a stock build with the following upgrades:
FOX Factory 34 140mm fork - this gives me a bit more travel, increased tuning and more aggressive head angle
Nobl 33 Carbon Wheelset w i9 Torch hubs - weight savings, increased performance and high engagement

Great video, really enjoyed it - some stunning trails and scenery.
Great video. I have same bike but all black. Couldn’t be happier.
Dan Davis I definitely think the Fuel EX8 is underrated bang for buck. I’ve never felt held back.
I like the way you put this video together. Great job!

@@MountainVenture Great to here that, if you are interested on getting dome different angles and locations when the weather gets better let me know. Always available.
Damned nice wheel kid, jealous! Cheers!
Mountain Bike Advice Thanks! I love these wheels and the guys at Nobl were really helpful.
I just bought the 2019 model can't wait to ride. Its 32 lbs with tubes but my frame is 23"
Joe Mckenzie yes! Enjoy the stoke! Let me know how you like it!
Hello, I am wondering what are the impact of a 140mm on this bike can you be more specific than "agressiv" please ?
I don't get what feeling this implies ... Thank you for your help :)
The increased fork height slackens the head angle slightly. This slows the steering which can be advantageous at higher speeds on technical descents. The 2018 Trek has a fairly steep head angle for a trail bike by todays standards. Swapping out the fork helps with that. It also slightly raises the bottom bracket height. The Trek is also notorious for pedal strikes. It is an imperfect solution but one I have not regretted. Cheers!
Did the 140mm fork increase your axle-crown height compared to the 130mm? If so, are the geometry changes of the higher head tube noticeable?
Yes, both the axle and crown height were changed slightly making the geometry a bit more aggressive which is what I was going for. The performance is noticeable but with the trade off of slackening the seat tube angle slightly. Overall, I am happy with the modification and the ride. Thanks for your question!
Did you ride the bike in low set-up or normal set-up in Combination with the 140 fork? I
Michel Soriano I ride in low. Great handling but I still get some pedal strikes.
Nice bike! What size is it?
fauxreal it is a 17.5. I’m 5’8” and this size fits me very comfortably.
