The EX is Treks most popular full platform, aimed squarely at the ‘do it all’ trail riders out there. It has what is now regarded as the ‘perfect trail travel’ at 120mm meaning this bike is as much at home on the climbs as it is confident in the descents. If you want a bike to ride on your local trails, take to trail centers with the occasional trip to the Alps then look no further. The geometry is slightly shorter and more upright making it perfect for long days out in the saddle and the effective ABP/Full Floater combination will keep you feeling fresh.
Like the Top Fuel and Remedy, The EX is available in Ali and US-made OCLV carbon flavors with a choice of spec including the new proprietary DRCV shock on the EX8 and above. The Trek demo fleet features the EX 8 and EX 9.9 below.
Why EX? In 2005 an ‘extreme’ version of the Fuel evolved, hence, Fuel EX.
