Trek Fuel EX 8 XT Gen 6 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2025
The Fuel EX 8 XT is an evolved trail bike, dialled for riders who chase down rowdy descents and want a bike that's happy to pedal back to the top and do it again. The lightweight alloy frame pairs with upgraded 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain to keep shifting precise while a 150 mm FOX Rhythm fork with Float EVOL air spring cushions the blow from rocks and roots. In-frame storage and adjustable geometry give you all the perks that the come with the carbon model, but without the lofty price tag.
It's right for you if...
You want a full-suspension trail bike that floats over rough and technical terrain, and packs in plusses, like a root-slaying FOX Rhythm fork and Shimano's clean-shifting 12-speed XT drivetrain.
The tech you get
A light and stiff alloy frame with 150 mm FOX Rhythm fork with Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper for small bump compliance, plus a FOX Performance Float X rear shock. A Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain for snappy shifting and Tubeless-Ready Bontrager wheels. Plus, adjustable geometry that lets you take control of your set-up.
Why you'll love it
- The Fuel EX Gen 6 gives you 140/150 mm of travel with extra adjustability features and more stable handling, plus a more robust frame with internal storage
- You'll get upgraded components where it matters most, with 12-speed XT shifting and a rock-gobbling FOX Rhythm 36 fork
- With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
- The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents
- We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5˝ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5˝ or 29˝, and sizes M and up get 29˝ wheels
The final word
For the rider who doesn't want to be limited on the trail, the Fuel EX 8 is ready to handle everything. Its progressive trail geometry is built to keep you charging, and upgraded components are the cherry on top.
