It's ideal for those who want pedal assistance but prefer the look and feel of an analogue bike. Weighing only 19.93kg for a size medium, it's just 4kg heavier than its conventional counterpart. This minimal weight gain is achieved using a lightweight and low-bulk drive system from TQ, housed in a carbon fibre frame. The TQ drive system is exceptionally quiet, making the motor noise barely perceptible, especially when compared to high-powered e-bikes. Despite its small size, the motor delivers 250W and 50Nm of torque, enabling quick ascents so you can enjoy descents with fresh legs. The suspension platform is similar to the standard Fuel EX, offering 150mm of travel at the front and 140mm at the rear, provided by the RockShox 35 Gold RL fork and RockShox Deluxe Select+ RT shock, respectively. The drivetrain features Shimano's excellent value Deore 1x12 groupset, complete with a substantial 11-51 cassette, providing ample gear range. The frame geometry is modern, ensuring agile handling and stability at speed, allowing confident navigation through rock gardens. Trek's active braking pivot suspension design guarantees you benefit fully from the rear suspension's shock absorption, even during heavy braking. For an electric mountain bike that balances uphill power with trail bike handling, the Fuel EXe 9.5 (2023) is the perfect choice.
