Trek Top Fuel 8 - 2020

Redesigned with more travel and updated geometry, Top Fuel combines the confident control of a longer-travel bike with the snappy speed and handling of an XC race bike. It goes from being a pure XC race bike to more of a marathon and light trail bike which opens it up to a lot more riders.

Top Fuel now has a longer 120mm fork with 115mm of rear travel. Combined with a slacker head angle and longer reach, that makes it easier to go faster on rough descents. Wider handlebars and shorter stems offer better control while dual remote lockouts ensure nothing is lost on the climb.

Updated frame features give new Top Fuel the same ultra-responsive and sure-footed ride quality as our trail bikes. The straight down tube makes the front of the bike much stiffer without adding any weight, while Knock Block protects it from fork crown or handlebar impacts.

Top Fuel still uses proven suspension technology like Active Braking Pivot. It still has Mino Link adjustable geometry and Control Freak internal routing so riders can dial in their own unique setup.

The new Top Fuel lineup features Alpha Platinum Aluminum and OCLV Mountain Carbon models. While the 9.9 models have always had full carbon frames, the 9.7 and 9.8 models get a big upgrade this year with a full carbon frame to match the flagship model.

For riders who want the latest in drivetrain and suspension tech, there will be a SRAM AXS model. Riders who want to customize their ride can look forward to designing their dream bike in Project One starting in late July.

New Top Fuel is an efficient XC bike that’s made to cover longer distances in shorter time, but it’s still fun to ride when the going gets rough. If your customers want to go fast and get rowdy at the same time, show them Top Fuel.
