Trek Rail Vs Trek Fuel EXe Vs Trek Slash Mountain Bike Showdown! Electric VS Analog mountain biking...
The Cycle Technology team have been out and about at Leeds Urban Bike Park putting Treks long travel mountain bikes to the test. From hill climb challenges to technical descents and jumps the team have been getting a feel for what these bikes are all about. In this video we look to give a comprehensive overview and review of these MTB's and help you answer the question of whether your next mountain bike should be an electric E-MTB!
If you want to see what the Trek Rail 8 or Fuel EXe is all about for yourself then contact us about booking the bike to demo!

I have a Rail for fun and a Slash for bike parks, in my opinion the ultimate combo!

If only they didn’t cost $5k+. Not to mention the used market is terrible.

Great video. I'm currently looking at both the Rail and Fuel Exe, and I found this video both very helpful and enjoyable to watch. If only I could own two bikes, my decision would be easy. Sounds like the Rail is the do it all bike. Not as good at downhill as the Slash, or as good at technical trails as the Fuel Exe but can do everything and go anywhere.

The Rail is a beast for everything if you don't mind a little extra weight. It makes the climbs as fun as the descents!

@brentcollins9727 Ай бұрын

The clear winner was the Rail. They were just praising the EXe to be polite. lol. I ordered a silver Rail 7 today!!

@samuelfillan6257 Ай бұрын

We were impressed with all the bikes honestly but for all round fun, up and down, yeah.. the Rail can't be beaten 👌 I own a Fuel EXe personally because I'm not ready to let all the work be done by the motor just yet (give me another 10 years) 😅

100% right... I ordered rail 9.7 last week... Waiting for him

So isn’t the rail good for parks as well? Or you just prefer the feel on the slash?

Great video! Could have some fun here on a hardtail! Do you guys have a mtb club?

Thanks for the comment dude! We don't have an mtb club but we are hoping to organise more filming days at various bike parks in the UK. Would you be interested in joining us? :)

@@cycletechnology yeah I’d be interested although I’ve only just got back on the bike after 10 years ha! It would be great to explore some parks

I think I put my number up but it seems to have gone 🤔 Give us a call at Cycle Technology in Wakefield to arrange a ride out dude 🤙😎

I have a trek rail 9.8 its a crazy bike and i love it , just the painting protection on the bike is teriblle , fast scratches ... but for the rest amazing bike 🔥

Yes, I had the same thoughts about my Fuel Exe 😅

wow this new sram chain snaps too bad i was thinkin to change my old gx to that now im not so sure shit :((((

@danhaigh2544 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I'm afraid so mate! To be fair, I have landed my personal bike's GX T-Type chain directly onto rocks I was attempting to surmount (multiple times), and it still hasn't broken. The dude who was riding when it snapped.... was rough as toast on the gears that day (sorry Ben) 😅

@rugbyfan6141 2 ай бұрын

yea but sram was very vocal about this new system likes change under power meybe only leg power they forgot about ebikes stuff :))) and this upgrade aint cheap soo i w8 and read before i buy :(

@samuelfillan6257 Ай бұрын

@rugbyfan6141 always good to exercise caution dude. Like you said, this stuff ain't cheap! My personal experience with the T-type on my Exe is that it's been great shifting under load. The gears on this rail were put under some extreme circumstances on this day 😅 (message sent from my personal account - Sam 🤙)
