Treks is bringing fresh impetus to the world of e-mountainbikes with the Fuel EXe and its natural, quiet drive support. The entire drive system with its 3900 grams enables a light, slim bike whose ride feel can easily keep up with that of non-supported mountain bikes. Compared to the motors of other e-mountainbikes, the HPR 50 with its 50 Newton meters of torque provides a more natural and smoother propulsion and is said to be barely audible. So instead of being distracted by the whirring of the motor, the Fuel EXe allows you to listen to the much more pleasant sounds of the wind in the trees and the tires on the trail.

The Fuel EXe is powered by a 360 watt-hour battery that provides sufficient power for two to five hours. The battery is seamlessly integrated into the down tube and can be removed in no time at all for separate transportation. Anyone who wants to ride further and longer can retrofit the Fuel EXe with a range extender battery with 160 watt hours, which fits easily into the bottle cage and increases the range by up to 40 percent.

The two-inch OLED display, which is flush-mounted in the top tube, clearly shows all available information without detracting from the sleek look of the bike. Only a single button is required to switch the system on and off and to switch between the displays. The slim display is complemented by a small, discreet handlebar remote, whose two buttons can be used to select the support levels and activate the push assist.

For complete customizability of the system, Trek has developed the Trek Central app, which connects seamlessly with the Fuel EXe. In addition to the ability to tune engine behavior, track activity and use Map and navigation features, the app also provides recommendations for tire and suspension pressures and real-time range calculations.

The Fuel EXe also rolls on 29-inch wheels and comes with 140 and 150 millimetres of travel at the front and rear. The geometry, with a 65-degree head angle and 77-degree seat angle, as well as 485 millimetres of reach for frame size LG, combines high stability on steep, fast descents with an efficient riding position for challenging uphill passages. The Fuel EXe is also available in Project One for those who want to customize and equip the bike according to their wishes.

The Fuel EXe is available in most markets worldwide.
