Trek unveils all-new Fuel EX and Remedy

· By Press Office · 15 comments

Following the release of the mid-fat Fuel EX 27.5 Plus, Trek has unveiled a new generation of its most popular and highly-acclaimed full suspension trail bike platforms, Fuel EX and Remedy. The all-new models bring more capability than ever before with more aggressive geometry, additional travel, stiffer frames, and wheel sizes optimized for their intended ride style. Fuel EX remains the obvious choice for the versatile trail rider who never backs down from adventure and refuses to shy away from aggressive terrain. The all-new Remedy further embraces its all-mountain roots, matching perfectly with the rider who requires trail bike agility and DH toughness in one package.

Fuel EX 29

The all-new Fuel EX 29 delivers 130mm front and rear travel to complement a longer, slacker geometry that provides additional confidence at high speed and on technical descents. Our new Straight Shot downtube increases frame stiffness without additional weight, rounding out a ride that is tougher in every dimension but remains agile and efficient for optimal performance on all trails.

Fuel EX is offered in three women’s models with Women’s Specific Design (WSD) touchpoints. The 15.5˝ and 14.5˝ sizes will be paired with 27.5˝ wheels to give smaller women more maneuverability and a better overall fit.

Remedy

The all-new Remedy now boasts an impressive 150mm front and rear travel, along with a slackened head tube angle for a ready-to-roll package dialed for enduro racers and technical trail riders. Remedy is equipped with Trek’s ABP, EVO link, Full Floater, and RE:aktiv suspension technologies.

For the all-new Remedy, RE:aktiv damping is now available in a RockShox rear shock, coupling this proven technology with a wider range of suspension options. The Straight Shot downtube delivers increased stiffness, creating a frame that is better equipped than ever before to take on the demands of the all-mountain/enduro category. For serious racers, Trek is offering two Race Shop Limited Remedy models with 160mm travel-adjust forks.

Remedy Women’s is available with distinct graphics and Women’s Specific Design (WSD) touchpoints, and all Remedy models are available exclusively in a 27.5˝ wheel size.

Features

Each platform retains the feel that riders love and have come to expect from these models, with designs that are more capable than ever before.

Both Fuel EX and Remedy benefit from Mino Link, allowing the rider to adjust frame geometry to better accommodate a variety of trails. Trek’s Control Freak internal cable routing system has been expanded to its Alpha Aluminum models as well.

Both new bikes feature the recently-unveiled Knock Block frame defense to protect the downtube from fork crown impacts and the top tube from being damaged by spinning handlebars.

Not just you. As carbon & alu construction techniques are refined, designers are able to concentrate more on aesthetics. In my opinion, at least.

The 29er Remedys got dropped for this year, but there is speculation that a 29er Slash will replace them.

 

I've got my eyes on the top Alu version (9) - comes with a Lyrik too.

 I had a 26 inch Fuel EX many moons ago. To this day, still the best bike I've owned. (Yes Tracer, sorry you're the runner up).

The thing I like is that the down tube is straight, makes for a stiffer front end...and to prevent the fork hitting the tube Trek came up with a neat little device in the head set called the Head Lock that stops the steerer/fork from turning too far and hitting the down tube... :clap:  :thumbup:

There is something about these new Trek's that gives it a "cheap" aesthetic. Particularly the rocker link.

I only care for aesthetics as I understand zero about geometry and pivots.

 

These look good.
