Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Review | The 2019 Trek Fuel EX 9.7 is a tech-heavy trail bike that rips hard

by Rob Mitchell April 14, 2019 3

As part of a head-to-head review feature, Rob’s been testing two 130mm travel 29er trail bikes; the 2019 GT Sensor Expert and the 2019 Trek Fuel EX 9.7. So which one has come out on top? Read on for Rob’s review of the Trek Fuel EX.

The Fuel EX platform has been kicking around now for what seems like forever. Well, since 2005 to be precise.

What started out as a 100mm front and rear travel XC machine, the Fuel EX has slowly but surely evolved into a 130mm all-round trail ripper. Getting longer, slacker and more aggressive in that time, the Fuel EX is now available in a staggering 18 different models and specs, plus five women specific bikes.

Here, we have the 9.7 model, which sits second from top in the line up. With 29in wheels and 130mm of travel, the Fuel EX 9.7 is, on paper, a do-it-all everyday trail bike.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

The 2019 Fuel EX 9.7

This model is finished in Matte Sandstorm and Trek Black which may split opinion, but is very refreshing to see a bike that isn’t full black. The Fuel EX 9.7 uses a OCLV carbon front triangle, bolted to an alloy rear triangle with Boost 148mm spacing front and rear.

The carbon used for this frame adopts what Trek calls, Retained Strength technology. Basically it’s where Trek has used different composite materials in unique layups in and around the downtube to reinforce the carbon. The Fuel EX also uses a piece of rubber armour on the underside of the downtube for further protection.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Staying on the frame, the Fuel EX really has got more aggressive the older it’s got. The angular kink in the top tube, and the beefy tubes used in the carbon front triangle give it a very similar aesthetic to larger models in the Trek line up – the Remedy and Slash.

Up top we’ve got Trek’s Knock Block technology. This system has allowed Trek to use a straight downtube on the Fuel, (rather than curved), apparently to improve stiffness. Knock Block is an integrated frame protection system comprised of a special stem, headset top-cap, spacers and a chip in the frame. This stops the bars from spinning too far, to prevent the fork crown from hitting the beefy and uncurved Straight Shot downtube.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Out back you’ll find the Active Breaking Pivot (ABP) located on the seatstays. This sees the brake calliper rotating around the rear axle, which aims to reduce the effect braking has on the suspension action.

2.4in is ‘officially’ the largest 29er tyre that you can fit into the back of the Fuel EX. Depending on the tyre and rim combo, I’d say there’s clearance in there to go wider. You can also fit 27.5+ wheels into the Fuel EX chassis (with clearance for 27.5×2.8in rubber), though Trek recommends upping to a 140mm travel fork to lift the BB back up to acceptable levels.

Mino-Link is Trek’s own geometry adjustment system that allows riders to flick between two geometry positions, through a simple Allen key operated bolt. Flipping the link adjusts the head angle by 0.5°, and can raise or drop the BB height by up to 10mm. All without having any sort of negative effect on the suspension performance.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

To suit my 6’2″ (188cm) height, I’ve got the largest available size on test; a 21.5in that’s apparently suitable for riders up to 6’5in tall. Looking at the numbers (and in the high Mino-Link position), we’ve got a 67.7° head angle, an effective seat tube angle of 74.7° and a reach of 487mm. Chainstays are a compact 432mm in length, with the overall wheelbase sitting at 1214mm.

There’s a pretty clever rear shock too. The Fox Performance Float EVOL shock utilises Penske-developed RE:aktiv damping technology, which aims to provide a firmer and more efficient feel while pedalling, with a rapid transition to plush performance when you encounter bumps on the trail. All without need for electronics, handlebar levers and extra cables.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Getting This Bad Boy Rolling

Out of the box, the Fuel EX was super easy to get rolling. One thing we always say is to make sure all bolts are tight before you take any bike out for it’s first ride though.

I’ve included that…because I didn’t do it. And it wasn’t long before the Bontrager dropper post lever bolt decided to wind its way out on a rainy day in the Lakes.

Somehow, after walking back up the trail I spotted the bolt sat in the middle of the trail like a diamond in the dirt. Note to self – always tighten bolts on a new bike.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

While the Knock Block is a neat system, loading the bike into a car or van is however, a touch annoying as you can’t turn the bars fully to get it stowed in a tight space. You’ll also have to leave the X-Up manoeuvres at home.

For a bike of this nature, the 750mm wide handlebar is narrower than what many comparable bikes are coming with. Still, I was keen to give it a go to begin with and see how it performed.

After the first few rides though, and especially riding back to back on a bike with a wider cockpit, the stock bar just felt too narrow. That saw me swap out the cockpit for something a bit wider, and a bit shorter.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

A few points to note when changing cockpit.

First up, if you want to use a non-Knock Block stem, you’ll need to get a special Trek locking spacer that fits to the Knock Block spacers to make the system work. This simple-looking spacer will set you back £17.50. Once this is in place, you can use any stem you desire.

Secondly, I had to use no less than four different size Allen keys to swap the bars and cockpit over. Personally, this kind of thing really annoys me. Note to bike manufacturers: let’s minimise the different bolts and tools required – not just for the cockpit, but the whole bike.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

To help with setup, Trek offers a comprehensive suspension calculator on its website. After inputting my weight, Trek recommended that I should run 80psi and 19mm of sag (15%) in the fork, with 200psi and 15mm sag (28%) in the shock. Worth noting is that both of these sag measurements are taken with the rider sitting stationary on the saddle, and not standing up. Trek also has a useful YouTube video showing how to setup the suspension .

Those pressures sounded a little low to me, but I went ahead with its recommendations, and headed out for the first ride.

After a few runs at the local, my hunch proved correct, so I bumped the shock up a little to 215psi and the fork to 95psi. For that ride, I also started with the Mino-Link in the high geometry position, with the aim to flip it around during the test period.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Early impressions of the bike were really positive. Uphill, the Fuel EX sat into the travel well, but I did encounter quite a bit of bob from the shock. The initial air pressure tweak helped to firm things up through the pedals, though it’s worth noting that the Fuel EX’s Full Floater suspension design is quite active all-round. That means as you head upwards, it will happily settle into its travel – perhaps a little too happily.

At this point it’s worth engaging the blue compression switch on the RE:aktiv-equipped rear shock. Climbing in the Medium position not only provides a boost to pedalling efficiency, it also lifts the ride height of the bike and prevents the shock from sinking too deep into its travel. Because of the quick-acting RE:aktiv damper though, the shock opens up with impressive accuracy as your rear wheel encounters rubble on the trail. Even on rough, traction-poor climbs, the Medium shock position works well to balance efficiency and ground-hugging grip, all while keeping you in a commanding riding position.

If the climb is smooth enough, or you’re on tarmac, flicking into the Firm position will provide even more platform. While I wouldn’t ride technical ascents in the Firm mode, the breakaway threshold is still quick enough that if you forget to flick it back into the Medium or Open mode, the suspension works if you hit big enough impacts.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

The initial riding position was great while pointing downhill – especially on steep terrain – but on the flats and uphill the bars felt quite high. I did swap a few spacers out to drop the bar and hand position a touch, which helped a lot. From the get-go though, the Fuel EX feels comfortable both climbing and descending. The position you sit in, even on this, the largest frame, is ideal.

It rolls fast on compact trails, and on the looser stuff is direct through the corners and confident. Comfortable and controlled on all trail types, and it never feels as if you’re losing your line or your way.

The BB height on paper doesn’t sound particularly low, but with the shock set to the Open mode, the supple suspension does mean the pedals come closer to the ground. While I did try the Low setting, I found the even lower BB meant I was clipping pedals and shoes too much. After playing around with the Mino-Link, and preferring the High position, I settled on that and left it there for the remainder of the test.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

When laying down the power, the acceleration feels very subtle. Like a car with really low end grunt, the Fuel EX isn’t as snappy as others, but it still pulls away without having to put too much effort in. A slow, yet strong pedal stroke gets the bike going, and it’s a case of maintaining rhythm and you’re away. On the longer climbs, the bike has a work horse attitude feel to it.

It’s not the sharpest ascender though. There are bikes out there with lower and more aggressive front ends for slicing and dicing uphill switchbacks, and you’ll have to lean over the grips to ensure the Fuel EX keeps chugging up the line you want to take. The weighty wheels and high-volume tyres also subdue some of the Fuel EX’s climbing zest.

After descending and then pedalling into a sharp climb, I did find the Bontrager dropper post was sticking quite a bit when trying to return the post. This was both in the lever end and the actual post itself. Even when cleaned down and all mud removed it was an issue that carried on throughout the test and was incredibly annoying. Not having that immediate return from the dropper was irritating.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Get the Fuel EX pointed downhill and this bike absolutely gobbles up low and high-speed sections of trail with ease. The big wheels and tyres roll fast and grip well respectively, letting you plough through loose, rocky sections without having to think too much. The Bontrager XR4 tyres have performed really well, offering plenty of traction and grip on most trail types. They reach their limit on really wet and boggy trails though, where they start to feel as if they’re wandering a touch. An XR5 up front would be a great addition for all-condition riders.

Setup with the wider bars and shorter stem, the Fuel EX allows you to command an authoritative position. It’s easy to shift your weight around the bike and drag it to where you need to be. Descents were tackled with much more aggression and I felt braver and more confident straight away. The wider hand position gave stability on the faster, looser descents, and is a no-brainer upgrade as far as I’m concerned.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

When hitting jumps and popping around the trails, I found I bottomed the Fox 34 fork multiple times. I do prefer running slightly higher pressures and firmer suspension on trail bikes, and adding that extra pressure early on did help to stop the fork from bottoming. However, if you’re on the heavier side, consider adding volume spacers to the fork’s air spring if you want to maintain the supple initial feel while getting the bottom-out support you need.

It would be interesting to try the Fuel EX with a slightly longer fork though, which would slacken out the geometry a touch and add some more travel to get stuck into. Speaking with Jez Loftus at Trek Bikes, I heard that a few staff riders do run a 140mm fork on this bike, Fox 36s in some cases. This is entirely plausible, since the Fuel EX frame is rated for use with a 140mm travel fork. If you went down this route, you could also make better use of the Mino-Link’s Low position to keep the BB height level, while slackening the head angle even further. Mini-enduro bike anyone?

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

As it is though, when you’ve got your suspension dialled, at speed, the Fuel really does rip along. You feel planted in the bike and once you’ve let off the brakes, it’s easy to get up to alarming speeds.

The suspension throughout the test, has been super supple and comfortable both front and rear, delivering plenty of control and grip. Coupled with the RE:aktiv shock, the ABP pivot system ensures the back end remains active so you’re less likely to lock up the rear tyre through technical corners and rougher chutes.

My only concern is that the suspension may be a little  too active for some riders. Adding compression damping on the fork and shock does help to increase the platform and ride height, but riders who normally favour a much firmer and snappier suspension feel may find the Fuel EX a little too plush and controlled.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Throughout the test period I have had constant issues with the return of the dropper post. When you push the lever through its travel, the lag on the post returning has been incredibly inconsistent. On more than one occasion I have had to reach back and manually pull the saddle and seat post up the remaining 30% or so of its travel. This has been super annoying, especially on sharper climbs when having that immediate return is a must.

Unfortunately, this is consistent with our previous experience testing this post design on other Trek bikes, and you’ll read similar results in Tom’s standalone review of the Drop Line post .

The issue seems to mostly be related to cold and wet riding conditions, which cause the dropper to feel overly sluggish and sticky. Regular rebuilding will help to return proper function, but hopefully Trek can resolve this issue, as it’s been a real downer on this bike.

That aside, I have noticed some creaking coming from around the bottom bracket and headset in our test bike. This has become quite audible towards the back end of the test period of three months, and I suspect it’s time for a few things to be pulled apart, cleaned and greased up.

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Three Things That Could Be Improved

  • A wider stock bar to give more control at high speed
  • Intricate internal cable routing is tidy, but more of a maintenance headache
  • Dropper post sticking issues throughout the test were super annoying

Three Things I Loved

  • It’s fast. Like really fast. When you let off the brakes this bike rips
  • The build kit is pretty much faultless. A very considered spec
  • It’s one damn good looking bike. Like a smaller Slash, the aesthetics are so clean and crisp

Trek Fuel EX 9.7

Even though the frame design is three years old, the Fuel EX is still a top performer in this category, and this model has got to be on the list for riders who are after a do-it-all bike. Everything does its job and once you take a bit of time to set up the suspension and get it dialled, this bike rips hard. A trail bike indeed, but with the ability to keep even the most aggressive rider happy.

If you want to rip round trail centres, or slam down steep technical natural trials, the Fuel EX will very happily go where you want it to. If you’re wanting a bike for racing, the larger travel Slash would be the next option, but for a bike to live with everyday there’s nothing much to argue with here. For the cash, this bike offers a hell of a lot of performance.

Active Breaking Pivot (ABP)???? Shouldn’t that Active Braking Pivot?

How can you say that both the bar/stem combo, and the dropper are shortcomings, and then say that the build kit is faultless? Sorry, but this is a poorly written review with too much waffle and too many inconsistencies; it is not up to the usual Singletrack standard… 🙁

While not limited to just this review, it does seem wrong to review a bike using parts it doesn’t come with. The main review should be about what you get in the box. Maybe add a bit at the end on what could be changed and the effect it has.

Quiver Killer Trail Bike

The Fuel EX is the definition of a modern trail bike, and is Trek’s most well-rounded MTB. A noticeable and welcomed change with this generation is the rear shock being directly mounted to the frame above the bottom bracket. We found this to impressively tighten up energy transfer and make the most out of the power you're putting to the pedals. With more travel than the Top Fuel and less travel than the Remedy, it’s capable on descents and quick on climbs. Meet your ticket to fast and fun.

Tvel completes development of new fuel for Paks nuclear plant

!{Model.Description}

VVER-440 fuel fabrication (Credit: Tvel)

The full package of documents is handed over to the Hungarian customer, MVM Paks Ltd, for further licensing of the new fuel by the national nuclear power regulator, Tvel said.

The first fuel assemblies have also passed acceptance testing at Tvel's Elemash Machine-building plant in Elektrostal, Moscow region.

The new modification of VVER-440 second generation fuel increases the efficiency of fuel usage and advances the economic performance of the power plant operation, Tvel said.  

The engineering contract for development of the new VVER-440 fuel was signed in late 2017. The development and validation work involved a number of Russian enterprises, including OKB Gidropress (a part of Rosatom machine-building division Atomenergomash), Bochvar Institute (material science research facility of TVEL Fuel Company), Elemash Machine-building plant and Kurchatov Institute national research center. At the site of OKB Gidropress research and experiment facility, the new fuel passed a range of hydraulic, longevity and vibration tests .

The first consignment of the modified fuel will be delivered to Paks nuclear power plant later this year. The four-unit Paks nuclear plant, which entered operation between 1982 and 1987 currently operate on a 15-month fuel cycle and supply around 50% of Hungary's electricity.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

trek mountain bike carbon fiber fuel ex9.7

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.
