08 Trek Fuel EX 8
Sunday, 23 December 2007 - Mick

I brought this as a replacement for my old 2004 S works Enduro. What can I say? A really fun bike to ride. Excels at cross country, all day epic hacks and is a blast on the descents. Nice Fox forks up front complimenting the rear suspension action. Rear suspension is excellent too, giving a bottomless feel due to the rear pivot location and the floating shock position.
(For once all the the media hype is justified!)
Good value spec of LX/ XT and Avid 5 brakes. The Bonty wheels was a bit of an unknown quantity for a 15 stone bloke. but rolling smooth and true after 2 months of abuse.

Only niggle on this bike is the front end which can feel a bit high on tight nadgery climbs, if the forks came with a lock down function function instead of a it would be prefect.( the higher spec models get this though, with the Talas forks.)

All in all, excellent bike, supplied by an even better bike shop!!
