The Fuel EXe heralds Trek's first trail bike entry into the category of lightweight e-bikes. Ideally suited for anyone who wants the benefits of pedal assistance but prefers the looks and ride feel of an analogue bike. At only 19.05kg for the size medium, it's only 5.4kg heavier than its conventional counterpart. This low weight penalty is made possible with the use of a lightweight and low bulk drive system from TQ, housed in a carbon fibre frame. The TQ drive system is so quiet that the motor noise is hardly perceptible, especially when compared to high-powered e-bikes. Despite its small size, the motor still kicks out 250W and 50Nm of torque, for getting you to the top the quickly, so you can enjoy the descent with fresh legs.
The suspension platform is based on the standard Fuel EX with 150mm of travel up front and 140mm in the rear. This is delivered by the Fox Rhythm 36 fork and Fox Performance Float X shock respectively. The drivetrain is from Shimano's ever-dependable SLX groupset, with the exception of the rear derailleur, which sees an upgrade to XT. The gearing is 1x12 speed with a monstrous 10-51 cassette in the rear for all the range you will ever need. The SRAM Code R brakes leave nothing to be desired in the way of stopping power. Excellent for keeping your speed in check on steep descents.
The frame geometry is bang up-to-date for snappy handling and stability at speed so you can deathgrip through rock gardens with confidence. Trek's active braking pivot suspension design ensures that you get the full benefit of your rear suspension's shock absorption, even under heavy braking load.
If you want an electric mountain bike that balances uphill power with trail bike handling, then look no further than the Fuel EXe 9.7.
