From the moment you begin pedaling, you'll be impressed by how minimal the assistance feels; It's not overpowering, but it will take the sting out of the climbs. The bike is impressively quiet, allowing you to immerse yourself in the ride. Due to its light weight  and responsiveness you'll find this trail ripper easy to maneuver.

One of the most impressive features of the Trek Fuel EXe is its ability to easily customize the level of assistance using the Trek Central app on your phone, even when on the trails!  You’re in control with three completely adjustable motor tune settings that can be easily tweaked whenever you need to. Quickly adapt your Trek Fuel EXe to any terrain or riding style.  

Despite the added assistance, the bike still provides a great workout.  

I rode most of the ride on level 2 (out of 3) and the bike estimated approximately 3 hours of riding time on a full charge. The battery percentage and the estimated time left went down consistently so I felt it was pretty accurate. I rode almost 17km in 2hrs on trails I am very familiar with. On a regular Fuel I would go about 12km in 2hrs on the same trails.

And of top of all that, the Mino Link lets you quickly and easily tweak your geometry, so your bike is always tuned perfectly for the terrain and your riding style.   

Trek Fuel EXe provides a riding experience that is both fun and customizable. Its minimal assistance, quiet operation, and ease of maneuverability makes it a new breed of mountain bike. The added convenience of being able to adjust the assistance level using your phone adds an extra level of customization to the experience. Whether you're an experienced mountain biker or a beginner, the Trek Fuel EXe is your best trail ride ever, with extra Fuel in the tank!
