Updates/Corrections to video: 1) There actually was a 2020 version of the Fuel Ex 8 XT, but it was only available internationally (not in U.S.). However the only differences between model years is that the 2020 bike used a Shimano XT M8100 crankset (32 teeth) while the 2021 uses the Shimano SLX M7100 (30 teeth). And the 2020 bike used Shimano Deore M6000 hydraulic brakes while the 2021 bike upgrades to the 4 piston brakes mention in the video. 2) The 2021 Fuel Ex 5 actually uses a Shimano Deore MT511 crankset, which is a lower level crankset than the M6100 mentioned, but it still uses Boost and has 30 teeth. I did write this correctly in the table, however. 3) There is a new color option for the 2021 Fuel Ex 7: Trek Black/Radioactive Red 4) The prices of all of these bikes have increased: Fuel EX 5: $2,400 Fuel EX 7: $3,200 Fuel EX 8 GX and XT: $3,800

I had a little trouble getting this delivered kzfaq.infoUgkxn_jUDSlprMIeubd9rHdEAnv59nKfjcKv and eventually had to pick it up from local UPS location, but customer service was really nice and helped me get it before the estimated delivery date. They even gave me a partial refund for my trouble. Thanks Paige! The actual bicycle is just as advertised, and had no damage or scratches. This is an excellent commuter bike for most people. I did a few modifications to make it even better for me personally. I added fenders from my old bicycle. They weren't for disc brakes, but after adding longer bolts and about an inch of spacers the supports no longer interfered with the brakes. I like to pedal HARD and go FAST, so I switched the chain rings to Vuelta Corsa Pro Crankset, Black, 175mm 53/39T Square Taper. This has longer crank arms too, so its kind of 2 upgrades in 1. The front derailleur had to be readjusted so it would stay on only the 2 chain rings until I get a different shifter. I also switched the cassette to one with 11T high gear and a larger low gear. With larger gears on the front and back I also had to get a longer chain. I probably couldn't race this bike unless i got a different cassette with gears closer in size relative to each other, but I can still go plenty fast on flats and downhill while still being able to climb steep hills. For going to and from work and the grocery store this is a great bike. It even looks good. I also added a rear rack and panniers for grocery trips. Now it has great storage capacity especially paired with a backpack. Very happy with my purchase.

Trek Remedy 8 or Fuel Ex 8 and why? 2021 version (I have 0 knowledge about bike components and stuff like that, I just love bikes and want one of those 2) Thanks!
@TalalipopMTB4 жыл бұрын
To be honest these bikes are very similar. I haven't seen a 2021 remedy 8 on the Trek website yet, but looking at the 2020 versions of both bikes most of their components are the same. The only real differences are the frames and the suspension components. The remedy is closer to a downhill bike in its geometry, but is still a trail bike. The remedy has more travel in its suspension so it can handle bigger bumps and rougher terrain better, while the fuel ex is a bit lighter and more of an all round trail bike. Get the remedy if you want to ride really rough stuff, but the fuel ex should be fine for most purposes. Try to test them both out too if you can!

Woah that’s crazy! I can’t imagine not having a Trek dealer nearby since they’re one of the biggest brands. I’ll definitely make a video on the Remedy bikes eventually as well, and it’s unfortunate that you can’t test them out, but I feel like you really can’t go wrong with either one! I think i’d personally choose the Fuel Ex to save some money but that’s also since I don’t have any trails near me that would require that 150/160mm of travel the remedy has. But if you have the budget it might be a nice thing to have so you’ll probably never have to upgrade again.

SRAM cassettes have narrow wide teeth on the larger cogs to improve chain retention, but this comes at the cost of risking chain slippage if the teeth don’t line up as you described. I believe Bontrager droppers do not have a way to adjust the return speed.

Oh thank you! I didn’t notice that, but I’ll add an update comment now.

How much is it?

Do you think the ex5 2020 is better than the 2021? I founded AN ex5 2020 used at 1700€...do you think is a good price?

They each have their benefits in my opinion, so it’s a hard decision for me actually. I liked the 2020 because of the full tubeless ready setup which the 2021 bike does not have, but the 2021 bike does have a much nicer drivetrain to compromise.

Definitely! Trek bikes usually have a max weight limit of 300lbs or 136kg.

What's the difference between top fuel and fuel EX?
@TalalipopMTB4 жыл бұрын
Top fuel is more cross country oriented with less suspension travel, narrower tires, and more xc geometry while fuel ex is more of an all mountain trail bike.

Wonder if you can get the EX8 with the EX5 marigold paint job? It’s sick.

I really liked last years black to purple lotus fade.
