Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 7 Mountain Bike in Lithium Grey/Trek Black Splatter

Season:2026

Brand:Trek

Code:56308GRY

The Fuel EX 8 is a confident and versatile trail bike built to handle demanding trails.

It comes ready to ride with an Alpha NEXT Platinum frame, a Fox Performance suspension package featuring 145 mm/150 mm travel (rear/front), alloy Bontrager Line wheels, and a SRAM Eagle 70 transmission that ensures smooth shifts, even under load. It is equipped with 4-piston SRAM DB 8 hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power.

The Fuel EX is available in three adjustability-packed configurations: EX for do-it-all capability, MX for pop-happy riding, or LX for charging through everything. The new frame design provides ample room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, and frame bags.

Features:

  • Adjustable leverage rate: Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate, offering increased bottom-out resistance without sacrificing small-bump sensitivity.
  • Zero Stack Integrated Headset: The ZS standard headset allows for numerous aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodised colours.
  • Storage and Accessory Mounts: Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all Fuel models (carbon and alloy). Top tube accessory mounts allow you to carry even more gear.
  • Active Braking Pivot (ABP): ABP allows Trek's engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently, providing more confident control when you need it most.
