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

Adding fire to the Fuel

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?

Product Description
store/product-description.title
Trek top fuel 9.8 gx axs mountain bike - 2022.
Top Fuel 9.8 is a full suspension carbon mountain bike for riders who don't settle. Not for parts nor for one style of riding. It combines a high-end parts package—including a new SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic drivetrain—with a low-weight carbon frame for one unbelievably fun rig that's fast on flow and fun to ride on techy singletrack.
It's right for you if... You’re looking for a do-it-all full suspension mountain bike that's efficient and fast, but doesn't shy away from some bigger stuff. You want the added stiffness and weight savings of a carbon frame, and want blazing fast wireless electronic shifting.
The tech you get A light and stiff full carbon frame, 120mm RockShox SID Select+ fork, 120mm of rear travel with a SID Luxe shock, and a SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic drivetrain with an extra-low 52-tooth climbing gear. Plus, wide carbon Bontrager Line Elite 30 wheels with a 108-tooth Rapid Drive hub for instant engagement, Bontrager Line Elite Dropper, and carbon handlebars.
The final word Top Fuel 9.8 is a ridiculously fun carbon down-country bike with upgraded parts that give you big benefits on the trail, like more speed from the carbon wheels, more grip from the ultra-smooth suspension, and faster, more precise shifts from the AXS drivetrain.
