Details

Bring race-day tech to all-day adventure with Trek's unbelievable superbike, the Fuel EX 27.5 Carbon. This full carbon frame uses their super-efficient Full Floater and ABP rear suspension designs and hosts technology that makes every ride better: a tapered head tube, carbon armor, internal cable routing, a massive bottom bracket and extra-wide Boost hub spacing. Fox handles suspension with their 120mm-travel Float Factory EVOL Re:aktiv shock with Kashima Coating, for expert tracking while scaling the steeps or pushing deep into a corner and pinning the descents. Fuel up; you're going to need it.

Trek's EVO link
Trek's EVO rocker link is a one-piece, magnesium linkage that drastically increases rear-end stiffness and decreases total frame weight, too.

For a clean dropper post setup, Trek uses RockShox’s Reverb Stealth dropper seatpost and internal frame routing. The housing runs inside the frame for a clean look and zero hose issues as the saddle moves up and down.

Trek's E2 head tube is 1 1/2 inches in diameter at the bottom and 1 1/8 inches at the top. This maximizes front-end stiffness for awesome steering precision and control, while allowing the use of standard 1 1/8-inch stems and not adding much weight.
Trek's Full Floater shock mount boasts two suspended points that allow the shock to "float" through its range of action for seemingly bottomless travel and excellent tracking over every type of terrain.
