{"product_id":"approved-used-trek-fue-ex-8-m-l","title":"Approved Used Trek Fuel EX 9.7 M\/L","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Trek Fuel EX 9.7 2020 is the entry point into the carbon Fuel EX range — and it's a genuinely capable trail bike. OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, Fox Rhythm 34 fork with 140mm of travel, Fox Float Performance RE:aktiv rear shock with 130mm, SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed, and Shimano MT420 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. This is a bike that was praised across the board when it launched, and the carbon frame means it's aged well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHO THIS BIKE SUITS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want a carbon full-suspension trail bike at an approved used price that makes the carbon frame accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou ride varied terrain — climbs, descents, flowing singletrack — and want a bike that handles all of it without making compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want Trek's RE:aktiv suspension tuning, which gives you pedalling efficiency and sensitivity over rough ground in the same package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want Trek's internal frame storage as standard — a genuinely useful feature for carrying a tube and tools on longer rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT\u003cbr\u003eIf you want a current model with full dealer warranty, we stock the current Trek Fuel EX range — ask us what's available.\u003cbr\u003eIf you want more suspension travel for aggressive enduro riding, the Slash or Remedy platforms may suit you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHERE IT SITS\u003cbr\u003eThe Fuel EX 9.7 was the first carbon model in the 2020 Fuel EX range, sitting above the aluminium 7 and 8 models. The OCLV Carbon frame is the same across all 9.x models — you're getting the same chassis as the 9.9 with a more workmanlike build spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHOW IT RIDES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspension\u003cbr\u003eThe Fox Float Performance RE:aktiv rear shock is the headline. RE:aktiv is Trek's proprietary suspension tune — it resists bobbing under pedalling effort but opens up immediately over impacts, giving you a suspension feel that's more capable than the price suggests. The Fox Rhythm 34 fork is the entry-level Fox air fork, honest and reliable rather than highly tuneable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrivetrain\u003cbr\u003eSRAM NX Eagle 12-speed gives you a wide range in a robust, trail-proof package. It's not the lightest drivetrain on the market but it's dependable and easy to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon frame benefits\u003cbr\u003eOCLV Mountain Carbon is Trek's own carbon layup — lighter and stiffer than aluminium, with better vibration damping on long days in the saddle. The Knock Block headset protection and internal down tube storage are details that show the thought that went into this platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE FINAL WORD\u003cbr\u003eThe 2020 Fuel EX 9.7 is still a genuinely good trail bike. The carbon frame hasn't dated, the geometry was ahead of its time when it launched, and the RE:aktiv suspension tune makes it ride better than the spec sheet suggests. Come in and talk to us if you want to know more — or get in touch and we'll help you decide if this is the right bike for your riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe reserve the right to make changes to the product information contained on this site at any time without notice.
