Flow reviews the 2022 Trek Top Fuel

The Trek Top Fuel has long been known as the American brand’s flagship full suspension XC race bike, purpose-built to to compete at the very highest level of the sport. In more recent years however, the Top Fuel has steered in a different direction. With the short-travel Supercaliber taking over duties for World Cup XCO racing, Trek has softened the Top Fuel’s serious, race-focused persona, adding travel and bulking it up in the process.

For 2022, the Trek Top Fuel makes its biggest move away from its XC racing roots. Equipped with a brand new frame, an updated suspension design and some thoroughly modern geometry, the Top Fuel aims to retain the pert pedalling performance of its predecessor while significantly boosting its all-round capability. So, has Trek succeeded?

Watch our video review of the new Trek Top Fuel here:

Along with the active ABP suspension design and chunky tyres, there’s an exceptional amount of grip and support on offer for a 120mm travel bike.

Trek Top Fuel overview

Despite being all-new, the Trek Top Fuel retains its position in between the Supercaliber (the 60mm travel XC race bike) and the Fuel EX (the 130mm travel trail bike).

It’s equipped with a 120mm travel fork just like its predecessor, but rear travel has actually lifted by 5mm up to 120mm. This increase has been achieved with a longer stroke shock (50mm vs 45mm), and Trek has also flipped the orientation of the trunnion-mount. The rocker link now drives the shock via two sealed cartridge bearings to improve sensitivity.

You’ll no longer find a dual remote lockout on the Top Fuel, which leads to a vastly cleaner bike with fewer cables occupying your view from the cockpit. Along with the bigger shock, slacker geometry and 2.4in wide tyres, it is without doubt the most trail-oriented Top Fuel we’ve seen yet.

To put it into context, that sees it move away from the likes of the Orbea Oiz TR and the Canyon Lux Trail , and more towards the direction of the Santa Cruz Tallboy and Pivot Trail 429 .

A new, burlier chassis

Though it looks pretty similar, the Trek Top Fuel frame is all-new for 2022. It’s not so much a radical overhaul, but rather a collection of many small refinements that add up to a more practical package.

The chassis is notably beefier than its predecessor, with the seat tube diameter swelling to the new-school 34.9mm size. As well as increasing frame stiffness, the fatter seat tube is also shorter, allowing it to swallow a modern long-stroke dropper post.

The downtube is also larger, and it now features the integrated storage design we’ve seen employed on the latest Fuel EX and Slash. A latch underneath the bottle cage removes the trap door, providing you access within. A neat tool roll is included with the bike so you can carry a spare tube, levers and CO2. You could also fit a lightweight jacket in there along with some snacks.

Trek has updated the Knock Block headset, increasing the available turning radius from 58° to 72°. This provides you with greater freedom of movement on the trail, but still prevents the handlebar controls from smashing into the top tube. If you’re not into it though, the Knock Block is removable.

Also nice to see is a threaded bottom bracket shell for ease of maintenance, and the rear ABP pivot can now be tightened with a cassette tool. Also new for the Top Fuel is guided internal cable routing – poke the cable in at one end, and it’ll pop out the other, no fishing required.

Trail-leaning geometry

The 2022 Trek Top Fuel has received a series of geometry updates over the outgoing model, bringing it up to speed with other boundary-pushers in this travel bracket. Here are the key numbers;

• Head tube angle: 66°
• Seat tube angle: 76°
• Reach: 420mm (S), 450mm (M), 465mm (M/L), 480mm (L), 500mm (XL)
• Rear centre length: 435mm
• BB drop: 36mm

Compared to the old Top Fuel, the head angle has kicked back by 1.5-degrees and the reach measurements have gone up by 10mm. The seat tube angle has also steepened by 1-degree to improve the climbing position, while the chainstay length and BB drop remain the same.

The Top Fuel still features a Mino Link, but it’s now located at the lower shock eyelet. Bikes will come setup from the factory in the Low position. Flipping that into High will lift the BB height by 7mm and steepen the angles by 0.4°.

You can get even rowdier by fitting a 130mm travel fork, which will kick the head angle back to a very-slack 65.6° in the Low position. And for those wanting to push the needle further, there’s clearance to run 2.5in tyres.

Trek Top Fuel price & specs

We’ll see four Trek Top Fuel models coming into Australia this year – two with alloy frames and two with carbon. All Top Fuel models feature the same geometry, suspension design and travel. They’re all equipped with 29in wheels, and there are five frame sizes available from Small through to X-Large (the XS size with 27.5in wheels won’t be available in Australia).

Pricing kicks off at $3,499 AUD for the Top Fuel 5 and goes up to $8,299 AUD for the Top Fuel 9.8 XT that we have on test here. Additionally, Trek will offer a 9.9 spec via the Project One bike builder program.

You can check out the specs and prices for all those models down at the bottom of the page. Right now we’ll be diving straight into our experience of testing this bike here; the Top Fuel 9.8 XT.

• Frame | OCLV Mountain Carbon Fibre, ABP Suspension Design, 120mm Travel
• Fork | RockShox SID Select+, Charger 2 RL Damper, 44mm Offset, 120mm Travel
• Shock | RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT, 185x50mm
• Wheels | Bontrager Line Elite 30, OCLV Carbon Rims, 29mm Inner Width
• Tyres | Bontrager XR4 Team Issue 2.4in Front & Rear
• Drivetrain | Shimano XT 1×12 w/XT 30T Crankset & 10-51T Cassette
• Brakes | Shimano XT 4-Piston w/Ice Tech Rotors
• Bar | Bontrager Line Pro, OCLV Carbon, 27.5mm Rise, Width: 750mm (S), 780mm (M-XL)
• Stem | Bontrager Line Pro, 45mm Length
• Seatpost | Bontrager Line Elite Dropper, 34.9mm Diameter, Travel: 100mm (S), 150mm (M-M/L), 170mm (L), 200mm (XL)
• Saddle | Bontrager Arvada, Austentite Rails
• Confirmed Weight | 12.88kg (Large, Tubeless)
• RRP | $8,299 AUD

This differs from some other brands that utilise a single frame, and simply up-fork and up-shock it to create a slightly longer travel bike (like the Specialized Epic EVO and Orbea Oiz TR). The Top Fuel is not one of those bikes.

Trek Top Fuel sizing & fit

We put the new Trek Top Fuel into the hands of our tester Ben, who owns the current Top Fuel and has also spent considerable time on the Fuel EX. At 181cm tall, Ben’s been riding a size Large across all three bikes.

The Top Fuel is well-proportioned out of the box. The 480mm reach is very long, but it’s balanced nicely with a 50mm stem and the 76° seat tube angle. The Bontrager saddle is totally inoffensive, and we haven’t needed to shunt it into an extreme position just to get it comfortable.

The 760mm wide riser bars are a great match for this bike, and while it may not be totally necessary for all riders, the 170mm stroke dropper post is fashionably long for such a short travel bike.

Suspension & tyre setup

With the anodised sag gradients on the fork and shock, suspension setup is made easy. Weighing 80kg loaded up, Ben’s been running 180psi in the rear shock (26% sag) 80psi in the fork (20% sag).

The factory rebound tune for both the RockShox SID fork and Deluxe shock is quite light, so each rebound dial was set a couple of clicks slower than halfway.

Tubeless rim strips and valves come pre-fitted to the Bontrager wheels, and Trek kindly includes two bottles of sealant with the bike, making tubeless setup the breeze it should be. Pressures were set at 20psi on the front and 22psi on the rear.

Trek Top Fuel weight

Given its swollen proportions, the new Trek Top Fuel has gotten heavier. With the tyres setup tubeless, our test bike came in at 12.88kg without pedals. To put that number into perspective, here’s how it compares to some similarly-priced XC and Trail bikes we’ve recently tested;

• Canyon Lux Trail CF 9 – 11.22kg
• Merida Ninety-Six 8000 – 11.63kg
• Scott Spark 910 – 12.43kg
• Specialized Stumpjumper Pro – 12.84kg
• Trek Top Fuel 9.8 XT – 12.88kg
• Giant Trance Advamced Pro 29 1 – 13.38kg

Trek claims a carbon Top Fuel frame weighs 2.7kg including the rear shock, which puts it on the heavier side of things for a 120mm travel bike. The alloy frame is purportedly a whole kilo heavier again, with a claimed weight of 3.74kg.

The Top Fuel’s rolling stock is also a significant contributor to its overall mass. The Bontrager Line Elite wheels are heavy at 2,071g for the pair (with tubeless strips and valves). Incidentally, these are exactly the same wheels that came on the Slash 9.9 X01 , which is a full-bore enduro race bike.

Trek has also plumped up the rubber. The previous Top Fuel featured semi-slick XR3 tyres, but the new bike is now spec’d with 2.4in wide XR4 Team Issue tyres. They’re not overly heavy at around 800g each, though they do offer significantly better grip across a broader range of conditions.

What does the Trek Top Fuel do well?

From the very first ride the new Trek Top Fuel proved to be easy to get used to, with no quirks to the fit, handling or suspension.

The proportions are significantly broader compared to the outgoing Top Fuel, with the front wheel sticking out much further ahead of the rider. Despite the long reach however, the effective top tube length is basically identical to its predecessor, so the overall cockpit length remains the same.

The steeper seat angle is noticeable though, providing an improved climbing position with your hips placed further over the bottom bracket. As a result, less bum-shuffling is required on stem-chewing ascents.

Pedalling performance is also superb. Despite its burlier exterior, Trek is still prioritising pedal efficiency with the Top Fuel, with the main pivot positioned high and quite far forward of the bottom bracket. Anti-squat is claimed to hover around the 100% mark, and indeed the rear suspension clenches tightly under chain torque, propelling the whole bike forward with minimal energy loss.

Active suspension performance

Despite the trunnion bearing mount and the longer shock stroke, the rear suspension doesn’t feel radically plusher than its predecessor, which already offered great performance. It is noticeably more supportive though, particularly when absorbing square-edge hits at speed, and when returning to earth after boosting off a lip on the trail.

It’s worth noting here that many bikes in the 100-130mm travel bracket make use of a carbon flex-stay design, including the Canyon Lux Trail, Merida Ninety-Six, and Specialized Stumpjumper. As well as being simpler, flex-stay designs are typically lighter too.

In comparison, the Top Fuel sticks with a genuine four-bar platform based around the ABP suspension design. Trek claims the ABP pivot helps to isolate braking forces from the suspension, and indeed it does result in less skipping and skidding when you’re on the brakes on loose, rocky descents.

With all the pivot points rolling on steel ball bearings, the suspension is more active and possesses a more consistent feel to both compression and rebound damping when compared to a flex-stay design. Yes it’s heavier, but the Top Fuel offers notably more active suspension performance, with excellent traction on loose climbs and better reactivity across chattery rock gardens. It’s very impressive for a 120mm travel bike.

Look out Fuel EX!

The geometry is also brilliant, and the handling really sets it apart from the outgoing Top Fuel.

Cornering performance has improved, with more grip courtesy of the longer front end and those XR4 tyres. These are great all-rounders, with a supple casing and surprisingly decent rolling speed given their size and tread pattern.

The new Top Fuel is also much more composed on rough and fast descents. Thanks to the longer reach and slacker head angle, the overall wheelbase length has grown by almost 40mm. That’s huge, and it offers a vastly more planted feel at speed. Along with the big tyres and active suspension, this really is a solid little trail bike.

In fact, the geometry updates kind of make the Fuel EX look a little outdated. The two bikes now share the same head angle, and the Top Fuel has a 10mm longer reach and a steeper seat angle. The front end is quite a bit higher on the Fuel EX though, and that does inspire more confidence on really steep descents.

As mentioned earlier though, it’s possible to fit a 130mm fork to the Top Fuel, which would lift the front end and actually make it slacker than the Fuel EX. Indeed there’s now quite a bit of overlap between the two platforms, leaving us to ponder what could be in store for the next generation Fuel EX.

What does it struggle with?

You’ve likely gathered that the new Trek Top Fuel is more of a muscly trail ripper than a spindly XC featherweight. While it may carry over the name, it’s evolved into quite a different bike compared to its racier ancestors.

The lack of a remote lockout results in a much cleaner cockpit, and we like how it signals the Top Fuel’s commitment to its trail riding intentions. However, it may disappoint those riders and racers who prefer having an instantaneous sprint button at their fingertips.

Indeed with all the updates, and the fact that the new Top Fuel has double the travel of the Supercaliber, there is now an even bigger gap between these two bikes. Riders who are still interested in some part-time XC racing, but aren’t sold on the Supercaliber’s sharp geometry and proprietary IsoStrut suspension design, may be turned off by the Top Fuel’s new attitude.

Of course you could easily inject some speed with some lighter and faster-rolling tyres, like Bontrager’s XR2. There’s also around half a kilo to be saved in the wheelset, which would make a significant difference to the Top Fuel’s acceleration and climbing enthusiasm.

You could also flip the Mino Link into the High position to steepen the angles. In that guise, with lighter wheels and faster tyres, the Top Fuel would make for a comfortable and confidence-inspiring option for those wanting to sign up for the odd endurance race or multi-day event. If you’re serious about your XC racing though, this is not the bike for you – you’ll be wanting to look at the stupendously efficient Supercaliber for such endeavours.

Component highs & lows

The 2022 Trek Fuel 9.8 XT is a solid package out of the box, especially when you consider it comes in $1,600 cheaper than the 2021 model. And that’s with a pretty much identical build kit. How has a new bike gotten cheaper in the midst of a global pandemic and industry-wide component shortages? Heck knows!

There’s not a lot to be said about the Shimano XT groupset – it works, it’s solid, and it’s easy to tune. The I-Spec mounts offer plenty of adjustability for getting the brake and shift levers into the right spot, and the integrated dropper lever is a nice touch too.

The RockShox suspension isn’t quite as sensitive as the Fox equivalent, particularly the SID Select+ fork, which felt a little stickier than we expected. Otherwise the fork and shock perform well, and the ease of setup is great.

The Bontrager dropper post works fine, but the action is sluggish compared to some of its competitors. And while the carbon handlebars offer a nice profile, having spent a lot of time on OneUp handlebars lately, the Bontrager Line Pro feels considerably harsher in comparison.

We’ve had excellent long-term experience with Bontrager’s latest Line Pro & Line Elite carbon wheels , which feature thick carbon beads that are designed to increase impact strength while also reducing the chance of pinch-flats. They’re totally solid and come with an excellent crash-replacement guarantee, while the buzzy 108pt engagement freehub delivers rapid pickup at the pedals. As mentioned earlier though, they are heavy, providing an opportunity to drop significant weight with a wheel upgrade.

Otherwise we’ve been impressed with the frame finish so far. The Mino Link is simple and effective, the Knock Block is totally unnoticeable on the trail, and we’re big fans of the built-in storage from the Burrito Box. Or is it the Kebab Cave? Maybe a Sausage Roll Hole? Sushi Shaft? Cannoli Cavity? Hot Dog Hollow? Spring Roll Room?

Alright, alright! We’ll show ourselves the door…the door that leads into the Spring Roll Room – ha!

Flow’s Verdict

Tying together a whole suite of updates to the frame and suspension design, there are no doubts that the new Trek Top Fuel is a more capable bike than its predecessor. It’s still very efficient, but having adopted a more progressive approach to its geometry, it delivers a significant improvement in stability. Along with the active ABP suspension design and chunky tyres, there’s an exceptional amount of grip and support on offer for a 120mm travel bike.

With all those changes, the Top Fuel moves even further away from the Supercaliber. And for some riders, that gap will be a little too wide.

Trek seems happy to have a clear delineation between the two platforms though. This differs from some other brands that utilise a single frame, and simply up-fork and up-shock it to create a slightly longer travel bike (like the Specialized Epic EVO and Orbea Oiz TR). The Top Fuel is not one of those bikes.

Instead of being a long-legged Supercaliber, it’s really a shrunken-down Fuel EX, albeit one with more contemporary geometry. And having ridden both bikes, unless you really need the extra travel of the Fuel EX, this is arguably the better option.

Sure it may have put off the weight-weenies and lockout-lovers, but there’s no denying that the Top Fuel has broadened its appeal to an even wider range of riders, and we reckon it’s more fun as a result.

Trek Top Fuel 9.8 Review

The Top Fuel has been a staple in Trek’s line-up for many years now and its target market has always been those XC racers and enthusiasts wanting a full suspension option. However, the development of the Supercalibre as Trek’s pre-eminent XC race weapon has given the Wisconsin-based brand room to ex-pand the Top Fuel’s horizons and push it into the hotly contested, ‘downcountry’ category.

For those of you living under a rock for the past few years, the downcountry moniker has been given to the increasingly popular segment that takes the XC characteristics of a light, short-travel bike and blends them with the aggressive geometry and suspension design of more downhill oriented bikes. The result is  a versatile bike capable of riding uphill at near XC pace and descending more demanding trails with composure. The 2022 Top Fuel is a perfect example of this new breed.

Compared to its former model, the new Top Fuel comes with a beefed-up version of the OCLV carbon frame and a new shock mounting position that allows for an extra 5mm of travel, allowing for a balanced 120mm of travel front and rear. The geometry also gets a kick in the downhill direction with a slacker 66° head angle and a longer 450mm reach (for a medium frame).

Another new feature is Trek’s integrated frame storage compartment – a lever under the bottle cage opens a trapdoor, providing you access to a recess within the downtube. There you’ll find a neat tool roll with pre-made pockets for a tube, levers and a CO2 bottle.

Our test model was the carbon-framed 9.8 XT, which sits a step down from the top-of-the- line 9.9, but still comes with an excellent complement of components—the Rockshox SID fork and Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock pro- vide great cushioning, the XT drivetrain and brakes are hard to fault, then everything else gets the Bontrager treatment.

A set of Line Elite 30 carbon wheels shoed with team 2.4” XR4 tyres and carbon handle- bars complete the lightweight build kit, giving our medium test rig a rider-ready weight of just under 13kg.

At 176cm tall I instantly felt at home on the medium Top Fuel, but as I headed off on my first ride, I was unsure what to expect from this 120mm race-bred whippet. While I really enjoy pushing the limits of the 130mm-travel bike in my shed, this was my first foray into anything smaller, and, in the spirit of any good review, I wanted to see what it was capable of.

The carbon thoroughbred powered up the first hill, giving me the illusion that I was a snarling beast of an athlete. In fact, the climb- ing prowess of the Top Fuel, with its improved seat tube angle, never wavered during the entire test. At the same time, I knew this was an area where the Top Fuel would excel; I was more interested in exploring how it would handle the ‘down’ bit of downcountry.

To start, I erred on the side of caution and eased the Trek into some fast, undulating flow trails to get a feel for things. Straight out of the gate the Top Fuel pushed me into the attack position and enticed me to be push harder. I complied, and with nothing but smooth trail in front of me, the bike’s race pedigree shone through. This thing was fast, really fast (Strava later informed me that those two warm-up laps were my fastest-ever on that trail).

Again, I’d had an inkling that the Fuel would be rapid on that style of trail, so I wasn’t that surprised by the way it held speed. What impressed me more was its handling and how balanced it felt.

However, smooth flow trails are one thing, but it was time to push the limits further and venture into some burlier terrain. Once again the Top Fuel impressed. Although it rode with the composure of a much bigger travel bike, although I did have to temper its natural race instincts and pick some more realistic lines from where it tried to coax me to go. Its light weight, small travel and short chain stays meant it was as agile a 29er as I’d ridden, and Trek’s choice to spec it with its mid-aggressive XR4 team tyres added another layer of confidence when things got spicier.

With that said, the limits of the 120mm SID fork weren’t hard to find in the rowdier terrain. While the back end handled most things I could throw at it, my arms and shoulders took a beating trying to control the front. The fork’s shortcomings seemed to be compounded by the back end’s liveliness, constantly popping me forward onto the short fork.

It’s worth pointing out that there’s a limit to how plush you can tune 120mm of rear travel and not bottom it out, so it naturally ramps up very hard at the bottom of the stroke. These  rougher trails were a great test and put the limits into perspective, but perhaps these limits here were more based on my expectations rather than on the bike’s ability. The Top Fuel easily handled all the trails I rode; it was more my mindset that needed adjusting, as this wasn’t a big-travel enduro bike.

Overall, my mind was opened to the capabilities of a 120mm bike, and I was genuinely amazed at the Top Fuel’s speed and handling, but was there anything I would change?

I think that depends on which side of the ‘downcountry’ scale you sit. If you’re on the ‘country’ side, then no, the Top Fuel is a race- ready machine that can handle the rowdiest trails you’re likely to encounter. For those looking to push the boundaries on the ‘down’ side of things, I’d suggest beefing up the front end. Luckily there’s one very interesting fact that I’ve kept quiet about until now—the Top Fuel frame is specced to handle a bigger 130mm fork! If I was choosing my dream build  for this speed machine, I would look at putting a 130mm Pike or Fox 34 on the front and I’d send the little Deluxe Ultimate shock to my local suspension guru for some custom tuning to maximise every millimetre of its performance.

Trek’s latest iteration of the Top Fuel is a huge leap forward in versatility over its predecessors, opening the door to more adventurous trail riding, while retaining its XC pedigree. I think this is a great move by Trek, as I doubt (apart from the most hardcore gram-shaving racers) there’re many XC enthusiasts who wouldn’t mind a bit of extra help for the downs, and, God forbid, a dropper post.

For anyone else who could be in the market for a short-travel bike to mix things up on our fitness rides, the Top Fuel would go toe-to-toe with any of the top boutique downcountry weapons on the market.

Trek Top Fuel 9.8 review

Super-capable ripper on the racetrack or singletrack

Laurence Crossman-Emms

Ed Thomsett

Makes the climbs fun and rips on the way down; an elegant package with a choice of colours; the six frame sizes span a massive range

A higher front end would give more descending confidence; thin tyres don’t offer much grip or protection; carbon wheels and bar bump up the price without a big impact on performance

Trek’s ambition with the Top Fuel is to combine the best qualities of both cross-country and trail bikes. This genre-bending, 115mm-travel 29er is burlier than its XC thoroughbred, the Supercaliber , but lighter and more agile than the Fuel EX . It promises lightning-fast speeds, whether gravity is on your side or not.

Trek Top Fuel 9.8 frame

The Top Fuel’s full-carbon frame is obviously a Trek design, with that familiar twin-triangle shape and ABP (Active Braking Pivot) suspension design, where the rearmost pivot is concentric with the rear axle.

As on the rest of Trek’s full-sussers, the ‘Full Floater’ shock mounting of the old Top Fuel is gone. Instead, the Fox DPS air-can mounts directly to the frame at one end and to a magnesium rocker link at the other. Travel has been extended by 15mm for 2020.

In terms of geometry, the Top Fuel is now longer and slacker. Depending on which way you position the Mino Link flip-chip, the head angle can be set at either 67.5 or 68 degrees and the reach varied by 5mm, from 470 to 475mm on the large.

The effective seat-tube angle has been steepened to 75/75.5 degrees. With six sizes, it should be easy to achieve a perfect fit. The details of the frame have been well considered too, from its sleek, flowing lines to the fully-internal cable routing and integrated rubber protection finish.

Plus, Trek’s Knock Block steering-lock stops the fork crown fouling on the down tube.

Trek Top Fuel 9.8 kit

That 115mm-travel, air-sprung rear end is matched to a 120mm Fox 34 Performance fork. A bar-mounted RockShox TwistLoc remote lets you lock out both ends simultaneously, providing a firm pedal platform that’s easy to toggle on or off.

Combine that with a Bontrager Line Elite dropper post, and the Top Fuel switches easily into downhill mode, although a 10mm-shorter stem and slightly wider bar would help the handling.

Shimano’s SLX brakes are good, but it doesn’t take much to find the limits of the 160mm rear rotor and the lever return was a little sluggish.

I found the Bontrager XR3 tyres slightly flimsy too. They’re efficient uphill but the low-profile tread isn’t great on unsurfaced trails and I sliced a hole in the thin casing on a fairly mellow descent.

The bike’s price tag isn’t insignificant either and, while the spec is solid, I’d happily lose the carbon wheelset and bar to save some money.

Trek Top Fuel 9.8 ride impressions

You have to bite your tongue before criticising a bike like this because by its versatile nature it’s never going to be the best of the best in any scenario. With this in mind, there’s very little to fault in the way the Top Fuel rides.

With a poised feeling on the pedals even in the lower/slacker setting, the bike blasts up hills with minimal effort and I rarely found I needed to use the lockout apart from on long fireroads.

As a trail bike, the Top Fuel puts on an impressive show and never faltered, even when hammered into turns or launched off drops. The suspension gives you a solid base to push into and I was surprised after the first ride to discover that it only has 115mm of travel.

The main limiting factor to this downhill prowess is the low front end. When things get steeper, you do notice you’re on a bike that’s also built for going fast up hills. The short head tube and low stack height are clear indicators of this, and while for general trail riding I found them a little low, this does allow the bar to be fully slammed for all-out XC attacks.

Even with the 13-degree-rise stem positioned as high as possible on the steerer, I wouldn’t have minded a little more height. But then, upping the fork travel would blur the lines between the Top Fuel and the longer-travel Fuel EX.

On a bike like this, there are always going to be trade-offs, and opinion is always going to be biased by riding style, but for rapid mile-munching that doesn’t get in the way of enjoyment on the descents, the Top Fuel is hard to beat.

The Trek Top Fuel 9.8 SL Is a Purebred XC Race Bike

A lightweight frame and carbon wheels make this bike fly

In a world full of trail bikes and long-travel enduro bikes that are made to blast over anything in their path, the Top Fuel 9.8 SL stands out as a no-compromise XC race bike aimed at the go-fast everywhere (not just go-fast downhill) crowd. The OCLV carbon frame rolls on carbon Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 hoops, and the 2.2-inch Bontrager XR2 tires have minimal tread—just enough to grab the trail without adding unnecessary rolling resistance. Shimano XT brakes and SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain give the type of high-end performance you'd expect on a dream bike without the premium price tag that typically goes along with it. Bontrager carbon handlebars and seat post, paired with a Bontrager Montrose Elite saddle with titanium rails, shave a few more grams and complete this lust-worthy build.

Solid and responsive to pedaling input, the bike is a pleasure to ride uphill, both on rough, technical terrain and, thanks to the Twistloc remote that locks out both the fork and the shock, on paved climbs as well. On the trails you get balanced handling that gives you a feeling of stability while also being incredibly nimble when you're navigating tight, slow turns. This is an XC racer's dream bike that comes at a reasonable price.

Five outstanding Top Fuel features

Trek Top Fuel 9.8 SL Detail Gallery

SRAM GX Eagle Drivetrain

32t front ring and 10-50 cassette give you all the go-fast and climb-easy gearing you need.

Rockshox Twistloc Remote

Lock out the fork and shock with the Twistloc remote located on the left grip.

Bontrager XR2 Team Issue Tires

These lightweight race tires have minimal tread to avoid unneeded rolling resistance.

Shimano XT Brakes

The Shimano/SRAM blend gives you superb braking and the expanded gearing from 12-speed.

Full Floater EVO Link Suspension

The rear shock floats between two shock mounts and gets compressed at both ends.

Smooth, Fast Suspension

The Top Fuel 9.8 boasts the same OCLV carbon main frame and seat stays as Trek's flagship XC bike, the Top Fuel 9.9 SL, the only difference is that this one has aluminum chain stays instead of carbon. The RockShox SID RL fork boasts 100mm of smooth travel, and the Fox Performance Elite shock is nestled into Trek's Full Floater, EVO Link suspension and provides 100mm of travel at the rear wheel. Both the fork and the shock have remote lockouts, activated by the Twistloc remote on the handlebar.

The design, which uses a pivot that rotates around the rear axle feels efficient and smooth, especially on rough terrain, where it helps the rear wheel find extra traction. That means you can worry less about your wheels slipping and stay on the gas longer in many situations, potentially gaining seconds on your rivals. Instead of connecting one end of the shock to a fixed point, like on many other suspension designs, Trek attaches it to pivots at both ends. That's what it calls Full Floater, and it gives engineers a little more latitude when plotting the kinematics to find a better balance between bump absorption and crisp pedaling. And in situation where you need even more efficiency, you can lock completely lock it out.

Components and Features that Standout

Trek blended Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes with a SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain , taking advantage of both the amazing power and modulation of Shimano brakes and the expanded gearing range of SRAM's 12-speed, that comes with a 10-50 cassette and 32t chain ring, paired with a set of Truvativ Stylo Carbon Eagle cranks. This combination gives you such a great range of gears you'll have everything you need to handle ripping fast downhills, fast dirt roads, and long, steep, lung-busting climbs where you need that 32 x 50 to get to the top without feeling your heart jumping out of your chest.

The Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 carbon wheels, shod in 2.2-inch Bontrager XR2 Team Issue tires are light, fast wheels made to haul ass through the woods. The tires have enough tread to be grippy when you need it, but not so much to slow you down on fast terrain. They're great on dry race courses and less so on wet, rocky, or muddy conditions. You might need a second set of tires if you plan on doing more trail riding with this bike. And you should. Even though this bike is built for speed it's also impressive, for a short-travel bike, on pretty gnarly terrain.

Top Fuel Family

The Top Fuel 9.9 SL ($9,300) is Trek's top-of-the-line XC bike, with a full carbon OCLV main frame and stays, RockShox SID SE carbon fork with 100mm of travel, Fox Factor Float DPS shock giving 100mm of travel at the rear wheel, and Bontrager Kovee Pro 30 carbon hoops. The Top Fuel 8 ($3,150) has an all aluminum frame, RockSox Recon RL 100mm fork, and a Fox Performance Float DPS shock providing 100mm of travel at the rear wheel.

Nimble, Steady Handling

The geometry on this bike is pretty much what you'd expect from a short-travel XC bike. My 21.5-inch test bike had a reach of 472mm and a stack height of 606mm, which is pretty consistent with similar bikes. Cannondale's Scalpel-Si is slightly shorter at 466mm of reach and slightly taller with a 615mm stack height. The Specialized S-Works Epic is even taller at 630mm, but only just over half a centimeter longer with 475mm of reach.

On paper the Top Fuel most closely mirrors the Scalpel-Si. The Top Fuel's wheel base is 1166mm, which is only 3mm shorter than the Scalpel-Si, bottom bracket drop is 39mm for the Trek and 38mm for the Cannondale, and even the trail is very close, with the Top Fuel having just 3om more trail at 80mm, compared to 77mm for the Scalpel-Si.

Riding (and Racing) the Top Fuel

This bike is made to go fast, and that's what it does best. That's not to say it isn't an absolute pleasure to take on a casual trail ride, but to ride this bike is to feel the urge to push it harder and faster, as the bike amazes with what it can handle. It offers tight but not twitchy steering, which is incredibly welcome while navigating slow, rocky singletrack.

Sharp, low-speed turns, both uphill and downhill, were very easy to navigate, and mid-turn line corrections weren't troublesome at all. As nimble as this bike is in the tight stuff, it tracks beautifully at high speed and lets you dig into and whip around bermed corners. And don't be afraid to get sendy on this bike, either. It may be a short-travel XC bike but this thing feels stable in the air and the suspension helped make landings seamless and smooth.

4 Helmets for Singletrack Lovers

Best for Everything

Giro Montaro Giro’s top trail helmet has MIPS and is ready for anything. $82.47 to $149.95 | Backcountry

Insta-Ready

Bell Sixer An integrated camera mount lets you capture the action. $169.95 | Competitive Cyclist

Women’s Choice

Fox Flux Has 17 vents, and comes in an XS size. $104.97 | Competitive Cyclist

All the Style

POC Tectal Super protective, with tons of style $190 | Competitive Cyclist

Over the course of the test, I kept pushing the bike harder and harder, testing the limits, until I actually found them much further from what I'd expect a bike this fast to be capable of. On numerous occasions I was ready for a trip over the bars when, to my surprise, the fork just absorbed it and the wheels kept rolling.

Even with the suspension set very soft to handle the rocky terrain we have in eastern PA, the bike pedaled smoothly with minimal bouncing. Even paved climbs weren't a drag thanks to convenient Twistloc dual remote lock-out. With both the fork and the shock locked out, the bike felt stiff and responsive, ready to sprint up a hill or off the start line chasing the hole shot. Anyone looking to step up their XC game without paying a small fortune should check out this bike.

2020 Trek Top Fuel 9.8 Review – The Icon Reborn

• Bike Reviews
• December 21, 2019
• No Comments

The 2020 Trek Top Fuel 9.8 has brought a new flavor to the XC marathon field. Its well-crafted frame has undergone a major face-lift, with the geometry getting slacker, the fork travel increasing and the long-anticipated addition of a dropper seat-post. Trek has brought the Top Fuel out of the ‘for racers only’ category and made it more enjoyable to the average mountain biker.

With that said, the bike is targeting at a different aspect of XC racing compared to its predecessor. And that aspect would be multi day stage racing and long-distance marathon racing. Its launch in May 2019 revealed that it would take more of a back seat on the XCO circuit and that it would inevitably be replaced by the Supercaliber later in the year. Nonetheless it’s still one of the great XCM legends, and with all the modifications for 2020 its perfect for the long haul. Truly presenting a happy medium between XCO and XCM.

The Frame – American Muscle:

Every inch of the Top Fuel 9.8’s frame is iconic in the field of mountain biking. With every bike we test from Trek we become even more blown away by the OCLV carbon layup and its performance levels. Thanks to years of refinement, the frame can maintain great stiffness under pressure, and you can really feel this come into action on tight corners, and steep climbs. Not to mention the overall weight reduction, even with Trek’s carbon protection technology.

Its all about being practical when it comes to the extra benefits of owning a Top Fuel – you’re getting Trek’s Knock Block on the head-tube which prevents the handlebars from slamming into the top-tube of the bike. Then there’s neat threading of the internal cable routing that will guide your drivetrain, suspension lockout, and dropper post cables in a clean and easily accessible manner.

It’s also worth mentioning the cool colourways you’ve got available with the Top Fuel’s frame. On the standard bike model for the Top Fuel 9.8, you’ve got solid black, black to teal, and viper red to choose from. However, if you truly want to make the bike your own, you can opt for a customized paint scheme through Trek’s Icon paint workshop. 

The Suspension:

The idea that you should have to settle for one riding style, is evident with Trek’s choice of suspension for the 2020 Top Fuel 9.8. The fork – Fox’s Performance 34 Step Cast – with a GRIP 2-postion damper. The weight of the 34 StepCast forks are noteworthy, being lighter than the 32 StepCast on the current models. Its also slightly more efficient in stiffness, and the most exciting thing is, its got a 120 mm of travel!

Fox’s Performance Float is a shock with a 2 position DPS damper, and it looks after suspension at the rear well. Its also got a little more suspension travel than one might expect – that being 115 mm. Both front and rear shocks can be locked-out from the TwistLoc remote lever on the handlebars.

The Drivetrain:

SRAM’s GX Eagle has become an icon on the market, representing a drivetrain that bridges the gap between quality and affordability. While it doesn’t have any carbon construction the GX Eagle still does a good job of shifting between the 12 gears efficiently.

The Wheels:

The Trek Top Fuel 9.8 comes locked and loaded with a set of mean and lean Bontrager Kovee Elite 30’s. With their carbon design and high durability, these wheels are hard to match up to. They add a lot of stiffness to the bike as a complete unit. In terms of rim width, you’ve got about 29mm on the inside. Which will seat wider mountain bike tires easily. Speaking of which the bike comes standard with a set of recently launched Bontrager XR3’s – the Team Issue with a 2.4inch tread width.

Geometry Station:

Head-tube angle: 68-degrees on Mino Link High Setting and 67.5 on Mino Link Low setting

BB-Height: 34.3cm on Mino Link High setting and 33.7cm on Mino Link Low setting

The Ride – Explosively Efficient:

The 2020 Top Fuel’s build gives it muscular ride feel. With the carbon tubing of the frame seeming evidently thicker, and the chain-stay relatively stiffer, the bike can charge through any type of terrain without breaking a sweat. I even had a few guys comment and mistake it for an e-bike – from certain angles it looks like you can be hiding a battery pack in the downtube and running a motor in the bottom bracket.  The bike has become a powerhouse on climbs, and a confident downhill shredder. The slacker geometry also compliments the bike’s new nerve for downhills; some will love it, while others will hate it.

Climbing is solid, with the Sram GX Eagle 1×12 gear ratio, running a 32T chainring upfront. The new an improvement frame stiffness, allows you to surge forward efficiently with every stroke. For XC marathon racers this type of combo and symbiotic relationship between the drivetrain and strong frame, create the ideal bike for efficient long-distance mountain biking. And essentially the handlebars don’t strain your hands in anyway.

I’d like to see a longer stem – on the bike I rode the Trek Top Fuel medium to large had a 60mm stem, however Trek have got options available for longer 70mm and 80mm stems on hand, depending on your arm length and body length. None the less it was still a comfortable ride on the longer distances. Even the Bontrager XR3 tyres had a low rolling resistance, and that gave the bike a slippery, yet a targeted marathon vibe. Almost everything about the bike is pieced together to be as efficient as possible.

Downhills have become so much more fun aboard the Top Fuel. The longer suspension travel, and slacker geometry are perfectly matching up to the single track of today. And the unique build and design of the Top Fuel provides immense stability on corners. Its as if Trek have embodied a complete downhill bike into a modern XCM race bike. The Bontrager Line Elite Dropper post which had 150mm of free-flowing travel gave the bike that divers edge to tackle larger trail drops, and of course the 115mm rear suspension didn’t hesitate to get involved.  

Looking back at my test rides with the Trek Top Fuel 9.8, I’m happy to conclude that it’s a brilliantly thought out and perfectly executed mountain bike – with its engineering, its ride, and its components. The bike knows no bounds in efficacy, and I’m keen to see it in action at stage marathon races like the Cape Epic.

Trek’s Top Fuel delivers superlative short-travel suspension performance but it’s definitely a trail bike not an XC bike

Infectiously agile and playful vibe

Superlative suspension feel

Seriously tight tracking frame

Trail tough kit

Internal storage

Too heavy for XC racing

Simple fork damper

Tight internal storage access

Yawning gap between this and the Supercaliber

Shore Country? Dad Country? No no, this one is "fast trail"

Dec 2021 · Henry Quinney

For a bike that is so capable on the descents, though, the Top Fuel still packs a mighty punch when it comes to gaining elevation..

Great suspension performance

Frame storage

Strong climbing performance

Knockblock isn't as well executed as other brand's versions

Works well when pushing hard, but might not be the most comfortable for all

New Trek Top Fuel 8 is a short travel - 120mm travel front and rear - down-country trail bike with internal frame storage for both alloy and carbon models.

Sublime suspension, playful handling, fantastic size range, internal storage

Not particularly light for the intended use, inconsistent Shimano brakes on our test bike

The Trek Top Fuel has been overhauled for 2022, receiving an all-new frame with integrated storage, plus key updates to the suspension design and geometry. So how does it ride on the trail? And will everyone be pleased with all the changes? Read on for our Trek Top Fuel review.

Brilliant trail-ripping geometry

Active and supportive suspension

Masses of cornering grip & stability

Refined and practical frame design

Downtube storage is a welcome addition

Dropper post is sluggish

Wheels are solid but quite heavy

Carbon bars are harsh

Heavier than many of its competitors

My history of mountain biking started with a little wooden trike, with no pedals and wheels bigger than my head. I moved forward as any child does onto a bigger bike with bigger wheels and pedals. My parents always encouraged me to get outside and ride a bike, although I didn’t like the idea of mountain biking. I knew how to ride a bike; why go any further?
