Product Information
Full details
The TREK Fuel+ EX 9.7 Gen 2 is an electric full-suspension mountain bike designed for riders seeking efficient power and versatile trail performance with a premium feel. Its key benefit is the natural-feeling assist from the TQ HPR-60 motor and extended range provided by the 580 Wh battery, allowing for longer, more adventurous rides. A potential caveat for some may be the componentry, which is carefully selected for trail readiness but might not be the absolute top-tier for extreme use cases. This bike combines a lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a balanced geometry and reliable components for a responsive and durable riding experience across varied terrain.

Troubleshooting
Motor not providing assist

Dropper post not functioning correctly
Ensure the cable is not kinked or damaged. Check for proper cable tension. Clean the stanchion and seal head. If issues persist, the internal mechanism may require service.
Poor shifting performance
Inspect the derailleur hanger for bends. Ensure the derailleur is properly adjusted. Check the shift cable and housing for damage or contamination. Clean and lubricate the drivetrain components.
