Hey what’s up guys it’s samit cycle technology again today we’re looking at the Tre fuel ex 9.8 we’re going to have uh a blast through this bike see what’s on it and see what makes it a great trail bike Okay cool so we’ve got the full carbon Tre fuel ex frame in a
Rather fetching jet black color going on there it’s got the race shop limited carbon B and stem so you’re saving a bit of weight there uh this bike has got something that I’m very passionate about as you’ll know from my other videos the Sham AXS T type drivetrain I still
Riding mine on my fuel exe it’s still Flawless it never misses a beat it never has me worrying about upshifting or downshifting whether I’m riding with load or unloaded this is a great drivetrain to have on a bike like this so who is this bike for well this bike
Is a really solid all round trail bike okay it’s not a slash it’s not a balls of the wall in dururo bike but it will be able to handle 90% of what you come across in this country it can do jumps it can do drops it rails around burms
And it’s also really good at climbing as well on account of the slack geometry at the front the slack head angle and the steeper seat tube at the back it can Ascend and descend equally well so Tre fuel the ex9.8 is quite a highend bike it’s got the carbon frame Fox suspension
Front and rear you’ve got the big Fox 36s at the front paired with a 15 mil through axle gives you a nice stiff responsive steering feel uh and you’ve got the flow X shock at the back this is the exact same suspension I’ve got on my
Bike and I think it’s great it’s it’s really plush it doesn’t suffer from stion too much which is where the friction from the seals stops the suspension moving I find it to be really responsive over rough stuff as well as taking the big hits too another really
Neat feature which is coming on a lot of the bikes nowadays is a bit of internal frame storage just pop this little lever here and remove the top of the frame and Tre Supply you with this near P roller up which is a bit stiff but it’s got
Everything you need in it to deal with issues out on the trail so there’s a spare tube in there there’s a CO2 canister there’s Tire levers and so on everything you need for when things go wrong and you can also store stuff down the bottom of the frame like I don’t
Know snacks and stuff or whatever you want to keep down there it’s totally up to you so apparently I’m talking really fast cuz I had a Red Bull about 20 minutes ago so I’m just going to try and slow it down now make a conscious effort
To do that for the cameraman Okay so where does the Tre fuel fit in the Tre lineup if you’re wanting a out andout cross country bike lightweight with a focus on going uphill you want to take a look at Tre Pro Caliber if you’re wanting like super heavy hardcore
Downhill Enduro shredding with a focus on going downhill go and take a look at slash if you want to land somewhere in the middle of those two and you want to be able to do the downhills capably and soak up the drops but also have a nice
Ride back up to the trail head then trck fuel ex is the one for you
