Trek Top Fuel 8 Gen 4
Details
Top Fuel 8 Gen 4 is a nimble alloy trail bike that strikes a balance between quick climbing efficiency and descending confidence. It packs in a versatile 130mm front and 120mm rear travel for ripping over rocks and roots without sacrificing power on ascents. It's built from lightweight Alpha Platinum Aluminum that helps save your budget for bike trips, but packs in upgrades where they matter, like a 12-speed Shimano XT and SLX drivetrain, and a Fox Rhythm 34 fork.
