Arguably one of the all-time most popular bike models of any MTB on the planet, the ‘Fuel Ex’ has been at the peak of Trek’s MTB line-up for as long as anyone can remember and it has had no fewer than six major design overhauls during that time. Late last year Trek unveiled their newest reinvention of the ‘do it all trail bike’ which rolls out of the store boasting a ton of rider customisation features, including a choice of [...]

The new Gen 6, Fuel EX 9.8 is the burliest, most versatile, and most capable Fuel yet; truly up for whatever you want to ride. Trek completely redesigned...

Apr 2023 · Drew Rohde

While the new Trek Fuel EX may have alienated a few riders, it will no doubt be a welcome redesign for a lot more riders!

Fast, confident and ready to rock!

More capable than ever

Great downtube storage solution

Adjustable and versatile geometry options

Med/Large size

Bar/Stem combo

SE5 Tires in the wet

Some may not like the newer, burlier bike’s transition

Dec 2022 · Mike Levy

The downtube storage compartment is on the new bike, and while it seems like Trek has put all the things onto the latest Fuel EX, there's one that they didn't: Knock Block.

Wide range of effective geometry adjustments

Just as much fun on smooth trails as it is on scary trails

Great climber, efficient pedaling

One-piece handlebar might be too stiff for some riders

Paint chips easily

New geometry, more travel, and even better suspension improves Trek's mid-weight trail bike.

Trek's top-tier Fuel EX 9.9 XX1 AXS delights on the climbs and tackles downhill terrain with it's slack (and very adjustable) geometry.

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.

Why trust BikePerfect Our cycling experts have decades of testing experience. We'll always share our unbiased opinions on bikes and gear. Find out more about how we test.

Trek’s Fuel EX has been one of the best mountain bikes in the world for years, but the alloy-framed 8 is lacking some of the features the latest alloy and carbon Treks. High-durability component spec matches the vibe of a really well-balanced bike. One that plans ahead, hands its homework in early (having double checked it) and rarely puts a wheel wrong or goads you into being silly yourself. So how has Trek done that and is there a better option in the range if you want something short on travel but big on fun?

Design and aesthetics

Trek has been using a rocker link-driven, vertical shock suspension design on its bikes for so long that “Looks like a Trek Session” is a cliche on most MTB forums. No surprise then that the Fuel EX continues the clean looks which leave plenty of room for a big bottle on the down tube and strap-on storage. You don’t get the internal storage of the newer Top Fuel alloy frame though and this older frame still uses a press-fit bottom bracket rather than reverting to a more reliable threaded  format. There are ISCG chain keeper tabs on the BB though, a wider-angle Knock Block steering limiter to stop bars hitting the frame in a crash and rear axle concentric ABP rear suspension pivot. Cunning zip tie tabbed ‘Control Freak’ internal cable routing and rubber frame armor including molded chainstay sleeves keep things quiet. 

You also get the 0.5-degree geometry change ‘Mino Link’ flip chip at the seat stay/rocker pivot. That changes head angle from 65.5- to 65-degrees and effective seat angle from 75.5- to 75-degrees on the Large I tested. Reach also shifts from 475 to 470mm and BB height drops from 346 to 340mm. The big win with choosing a Trek though is the sheer range of sizes from XXS to XXL including a sweet spot ML in the centre. Smaller bikes also run 27.5in wheels for proportional balance, too, although the chainstays are the same length on all frame sizes. The Fuel EX 8 is also available in three different two-tone color options.

Specification

Trek acknowledges that the ‘priority is on the parts’ with the EX 8 and the highlight is an almost complete Shimano XT drivetrain (the chain is SLX). The Fox Float shock is a custom unit, too, using a Penske race car derived RE:aktiv damper setup for a pert-pedaling feel on top of the 130mm travel. The 140mm Fox 34 fork is the stock Rhythm spec though and the Shimano brakes are basic four-piston MT400s. Bontrager’s functional Line component range completes the bike in well-judged, size-specific cockpit options although dropper post strokes are short on the larger sizes. Big volume versions of Bontrager’s XR5 and XR4 tires on Bontrager Line Comp 30mm internal rims put plenty of air between bike and trail for protection, too.

Performance

While the EX8 isn’t light at just under 15kg (a full kilo heavier than Trek claims) it’s in the ballpark for a mid-travel, alloy-framed bike at this price. What really stands out is how well it hides that weight when it comes to pedaling. The big tires don’t drag nearly as much as they look like they might, while the RE:aktiv shock and overall kinematic give it a really clean, crisp and stable platform to put down power from. That means even with three potential low-compression settings to play with, we rarely felt compelled to flick it out of full open unless we were hoofing uphill out of the saddle. Add the clean shifting, top-quality Shimano XT drivetrain and the Fuel EX is a great choice for high-mileage rides and riders. The fast-engaging ‘Rapid Drive’ freehub and relatively high ground clearance are a bonus for anyone who likes to kick hard out of corners or attack rough technical climbs, too. The efficient suspension feel still gives enough sensitivity to track the ground under power and you can drop pressures in the big tires if you’re into a proper ‘crawler/swamper’ feel. 

The 140mm fork/130mm rear travel feels well balanced on the trail and the Grip damper Fox Rhythm repeatedly proved why its our favorite cost-effective fork. Trek’s suspension calculator is accurate enough to get most people sorted on set-up for most situations. The angles and proportions of the model we tested were confident at speed on jumps but still turned in promptly on woodland twisters. Even the basic Shimano brakes feel better than normal through the neutral suspension responses created by the ABP pivot and the 200mm rotor up front boosts power, too.

While you could speed up reactions with a shorter stem, the stock setup probably suits its overall character better. That’s because while it will pop and play off trailside opportunities if you’re in the mood, it does tend to sit on top of an already relatively high ride height rather than sucking down onto the trail and railing. Interestingly that’s a big - and counter intuitive - difference to the Top Fuel 8. With slightly steeper angles, less travel, significantly different suspension kinematic and top-spec RockShox rear shock, Trek’s pocket rocket has an addictively playful charisma that’s very much at odds with it’s ‘XC’ categorization. 

In fact, despite it being heavier we’d probably opt for the Fuel EX for long marathon-style or efficiency-based events, especially as it’s significantly cheaper than its little brother, leaving you more cash for race entries and energy products. Just make sure you keep an eye on the press-fit bottom bracket and get it replaced as soon as it shows any signs of wobble/creak as that can eventually creates frame issues.

Trek’s Fuel range might be a bit backwards when it comes to assigning categories based on travel but the main thing is that the Fuel EX is still a really efficient, enjoyable and fitness/skill flattering all rounder. While it misses out on the internal storage, threaded BB and super-plush playfulness of the Top Fuel, Shimano XT will always bring a lot of hard riding boys (and girls) to the yard. Those are exactly the riders who’ll appreciate just how well this extremely well balanced bike covers ground and keeps a fresh and sharp feel long into the day, and down tough technical sections, too.

The New Trek Fuel EX Puts On Weight, Punches Harder, and Expands Its Reach

Trek's new Fuel EX is bigger, more capable, and more adjustable

The Takeaway: The new EX is bigger and more capable. It faces tougher competition, but its performance, features, and adaptability make it a compelling option.

• 10mm more travel: now 140mm rear and a 150mm fork
• Two different geometry adjustments, plus adjustable shock rate
• Most aluminum frames now get internal storage
• Eight builds with the new platform starting at $3,700

Price: $2,700 to $10,750. As tested $10,750 (EX 9.9 XX1 AXS) Weight: 30.2 lb. to 35.2 lb. (claimed. 31.2 lb. as tested (EX 9.9 XX1 AXS, size medium)

Trek tries to cover a lot of ground with this one bike, which is why it has so many features and adjustments, plus a wide range of models and sizes. By trying to do so much with one bike, I worried that in making a bike to satisfy everyone, Trek made a bike that satisfies no one. After riding it I don’t think that’s the case. It’s no Holy Grail, but it is a fine machine for many riders, and a variety of terrain.

Trek Fuel EX—Builds, Prices, and Weights

The new Fuel EX launches with eight stock builds (three aluminum models and five carbon). The least expensive model, Fuel EX 5, uses the old frame platform (130mm rear travel with 140mm fork), while the rest use the new 140/150mm platform. Prices start at $2,700 for the EX 5 and top out at $10,750 for the EX 9.9 XX1 AXS.

Claimed frame weights are 3.4kg (7.5 lb.) for the carbon frame and 4.6kg (10.1lb.) for the aluminum frame. Complete bike weights start at 13.71kg (30.2lb) for the 9.9 XTR and go up to 15.96kg (35.2lb).

If you’re not feeling the stock options, the Fuel EX will drop into Trek’s Project One customization program (eventually) if you want to pick your paint and parts.

Trek Fuel EX – What’s New

Comparing the previous generation Fuel EX to this one, it is obvious this bike isn’t a mid-cycle refresh but a ground-up redesign of the brand’s mid-travel trail bike.

Outwardly, the Fuel EX displays a new frame design direction for Trek. First seen on the sibling EX-e electric bike , the new frame is more swole, with additional trusses linking the top tube to the seat tube and the seat tube to the down tube.

Part of the reason for the stouter-looking frame is a 10mm bump in travel at both ends: The rear increases to 140mm, paired with a 150mm fork. An additional change to the suspension is a two-position leverage-rate flip chip which offers a more and a less progressive setting. This is much easier than swapping volume spacers inside an air shock and also (in the more progressive position) makes the EX compatible with coil-spring shocks for the first time. But note that changing the leverage rate on the shock affects the spring and damper while changing volume spacers affects only the spring.

Trek also approved most of the new EX frames for the stouter RockShox Zeb and Fox 38 forks in up to 160mm travel.

With the bump in travel, the EX features revised geometry. The TL;DR: A 10 to 20mm longer reach, 1.5-degree slacker head tube angle, about a two-degree steeper seat tube angle, and size-specific chainstay lengths. As before, the EX has Trek’s two-position Mino Link in the rocker (which alters head and seat angles and BB drop.) New to the party are angle-adjusting headset cups which offer three head angle possibilities with no effect on bottom bracket drop/height. And if you like your wheel sizes mixed, the new EX is rated for that too.

The seat tube sees revisions that help it fit longer-travel dropper posts, and the post diameter was bumped up to 34.9mm. Your mileage may vary, but I’ve found the 34.9mm droppers operate more smoothly and are less likely to bind than 31.6 or 30.9mm droppers.

Trek added full-length guides to the EX’s internal routing to make assembly and maintenance easier, plus they can’t slap around in the downtube anymore. The guides also mean the hoses and hosing don’t interfere when you’re stuffing the repair kit burrito into the EX’s downtube. And talking of that downtube storage, it’s now built into the aluminum frames, in addition to the carbon.

The bottom bracket shell is now threaded, and there is a whole mess of plastic bolted to the downtube for impact and shuttle protection. Features carried over from the previous generation include Trek’s ABP suspension system, ISCG ’05 tabs, and the Mino Link flip chip in the rocker link.

Trek Fuel EX—No More Proprietary Shocks

One of the less conspicuous (but very significant) changes to the new EX is the adoption of a stock shock. Gone is the Thru Shaft design —which required a screw-in lower extender for the shock shaft—and the regressive Re:Activ damper tune . In its place is a standard shock, although it is custom-tuned for the frame (a step that all reputable brands take).

Abandoning suspension features has been somewhat of a theme for the Fuel EX. Follow the progression of EX since its debut in 2005, and you will see Trek adding new rear suspension technologies only to remove them for later iterations. This includes Full Floater (dynamic upper and lower shock mounts), DRCV (dual rate control valve) shocks (some EX forks had DRCV also), RE:Activ, and Thru Shaft. If you add in other since-abandoned features like Knock Block (a stop which limited handlebar rotation), and Press Fit 92 bottom brackets, previous generation EXs are a boneyard of forsaken technologies.

Why are Thru Shaft and Re:Aktiv gone? I asked Trek that question and am yet to receive a response. I sense that Trek will say the same thing they said when I asked why they eliminated Full Floater from the 2020 Fuel EX : That the newest generation of shocks (like Fox‘s Float X ) make those proprietary technologies redundant.

The benefit to the rider is the new Fuel EX uses a standard trunnion mounted shock, which means they can choose to ride a wide variety of options. Trek says they’ve confirmed fitment of all Fox, RockShox, and DVO air and coil shocks. Plus, it fits the Push ElevenSix and EXT’s Storia coil.

Trek Fuel EX—Updated Geometry, More Adjustments, Mullet Compatible

As previously mentioned, the Fuel EX receives all-new geometry. And it gets expanded geometry adjustment options. There are now two geometry adjustments: Head tube angle cups (three options: zero, plus-one degree, minus-one degree), and Mino Link (two positions: alters head and seat angles +/- 0.5 degrees and bb height +/- 8mm). That results in six configurations in total.

There are seven frame sizes (extra small, small, medium, medium/large, large, extra-large, and double-extra-large) in aluminum and six in carbon (no double-extra-large). And the EX now has size-specific chain stay lengths and seat tube angles. And the extra small and small come with 27.5-inch wheels, while the rest come with 29-inch wheels (size small is available with either 29" or 27.5" wheels.) AND Trek made the EX (with 29" wheels) compatible with mixed wheel sizes, but when running a 27.5 rear wheel, Trek recommends 160mm fork travel (10mm more than stock) and putting the Mino Link in high mode.

Is it any wonder that Trek has a dynamic geometry tool on its website to help you parse all the different configurations?

All this makes comparing the geometry to the previous EX difficult, but to get a flavor of the changes, I’ll compare the old size large to a new size large. With both in “stock” geometry configuration (Mino Link in low for both, the new frame with the neutral headset cup), the new bike measures up as follows:

Reach - 15mm longer (485 vs. 470mm) Stack - about eight millimeters taller (621.3 vs. 613mm) Effective seat angle - 2.5 degrees steeper (77.2 vs. 75 degrees) Head angle - 1.5 degrees slacker (64.5 vs. 66 degrees) Trail - almost 10mm longer (129.3 vs. 119mm) Chainstays - three millimeters longer (440 vs. 437mm) Wheelbase - almost 40 millimeters longer (1250.2 vs. 1211mm)

I’m not going to bother pasting the nine different geometry charts Trek sent me into this story (because that would be ridiculous.) The stock head angle is 64.5 degrees: If you want to nerd out on the rest of the numbers, dial-up Trek’s geometry tool and dig in.

Trek Fuel EX—Ride Review

The biggest mistake I made during my first rides on the new EX was comparing it to the outgoing 130/140mm EX. I loved the previous generation , and I liked its somewhat unique positioning between 120mm trail bikes like Evil’s Following and bigger trail bikes like the Pivot Switchblade.

But the new EX is not the old EX: It’s a bigger and more capable bike. It can be ridden harder and in rowdier terrain. But because it is heavier, longer, slacker, and has more travel, the new bike doesn’t feel as snappy as the outgoing bike. And it doesn’t feel as crisp on the climbs either. If you’re looking for a trail bike more like the old EX, the closest you’ll get in Trek’s current line is a Top Fuel with a 130mm fork upgrade.

Once I got my head straight about what the EX was all about, I began to groove with it. The Fuel EX is an excellent trail bike. Well, I have one complaint. I was getting some noise from the front end. I solved this by pulling the entire headset assembly, cleaning, greasing, and reinstalling it—chuckling to myself the whole time because Trek’s product team said they designed the system the way they did because they found competitors' adjustable head angle systems were noisy.

With six possible geometry settings—nine if I fitted a 27.5 rear wheel, which I, so far, have not—there wasn’t time to evaluate them all adequately before today’s launch. So, I’ve done all my rides on the EX in the stock setting (Mino Link in low, headset in the neutral position). And in that setting, the EX is a well-rounded trail bike.

I did my first ride on the EX in Whistler, British Columbia where I ground up the steep climbs and then pointed down tight, rough, and frequently very steep and technical trails that dot the landscape. The EX held its own, offering a comfortable climbing position and an efficient and supportive pedaling platform on the climbs. On the descents, it was reassuring; equal parts precise and confidence-inspiring. I decided to run the shock rate in the progressive position for this ride and was happy I did as the rear end returned suppleness with plenty of support and bottom-out resistance.

I expect some riders will find the EX, even with its new and more muscular body, is not quite enough bike for Whistler-style riding, which I can understand. But it can hold its own while the old EX would be out of its element.

I got the rest of my rides on the new EX in Durango, Colorado. Compared to B.C. riding, the climbs in Durango typically aren’t as steep, and the descents are faster, more open, and not as consistently technical, but the altitude is much higher. The EX felt a bit more in its sweet spot here, and I used the less progressive shock rate, which gave me a deeper-feeling suspension. With the lightest EX coming in at over 30 pounds, I’m not going to say I’m thrilled to hammer out a multi-hour singletrack climb at five-figure altitudes on this bike. It is efficient and accurate enough on climbs that I will ride it up because the payoff on the descents is so worthwhile.

I can’t say that I found any one thing, or things, in my testing of the EX so far that rocked my world. It seems to do everything it is supposed to do well. It’s appropriately stiff and feels solid, the suspension works well over a wide range of situations, and the pedaling and braking performance is good also. Performance-wise, it seems to be in the same ballpark as the other good trail bikes of similar travel I’ve ridden.

But I think this EX will be a slow burn. A bike I enjoy more and more as I spend additional time on it. I have no science to back that feeling up, just a gut sensation based on years and years of testing bikes. I have experienced other bikes sneak up on me and become a favorite after being lukewarm about them at first. And I do love how much Trek built into this bike: There’s a ton going on with it when you dig into the details, and much of it will help riders dial in the bike better for their conditions and preferences. In the long run, this should make the new EX easier with which to live.

Sometimes it’s the quiet ones that are the most special.

A gear editor for his entire career, Matt’s journey to becoming a leading cycling tech journalist started in 1995, and he’s been at it ever since; likely riding more cycling equipment than anyone on the planet along the way. Previous to his time with Bicycling , Matt worked in bike shops as a service manager, mechanic, and sales person. Based in Durango, Colorado, he enjoys riding and testing any and all kinds of bikes, so you’re just as likely to see him on a road bike dressed in Lycra at a Tuesday night worlds ride as you are to find him dressed in a full face helmet and pads riding a bike park on an enduro bike. He doesn’t race often, but he’s game for anything; having entered road races, criteriums, trials competitions, dual slalom, downhill races, enduros, stage races, short track, time trials, and gran fondos. Next up on his to-do list: a multi day bikepacking trip, and an e-bike race.

Our Verdict

Compare to similar products, our analysis and test results, should i buy this bike.

Trek has often built bikes that were a touch conservative for your author's primary bikes, especially in the trail category. The new Fuel throws that out the window; while the previous version felt like a fine bicycle, it didn't have the swagger of a true, modern trail bike. The new model nails the geometry and then allows for rider adjustments in both directions. This 140mm travel carbon trail bike is down for anything with a highly adjustable geometry, allowing the rider to dramatically alter the bike's personality for different terrain or riding. The head tube angle can be adjusted in six .5 degree increments between 63.5 to 66 degrees using the Mino Link and swappable headset cups (available separately). You can ride this bike as a versatile long-legged trail bike or slack it even further (62.9 degrees!) with a 27.5" mullet rear wheel. The versatility built into this bike won't future-proof it, but it certainly readies it for an immense selection of trails.

This bike lights up at speed; it charges the climbs, shreds the descents, and the ABP does a fantastic job keeping the rear wheel on the ground and engaged. The ride quality is fantastic in its stock geometry configuration, and its adjustability gives it so much versatility. The new Gen 6 frame looks burly, featuring in-frame storage, sturdy frame protection, size-specific chainstays, and a 34.9-seat tube. Our tested build features GX AXS, Bontrager carbon wheels, and Fox Performance suspension. It's clear that Trek sweated the details of the frames and the builds; the Integrated bar/stem combo is stiff and cool looking but loses all sweep/rise and stem length adjustability.

This bike has striking similarities to the Specialized Stumpjumper EVO with its geometry, adjustability, frame storage, and mullet-ability. Even the ride quality is similar between the two, what the Fuel EX 9.8 does better is keep the rear wheel on the ground, especially through rocky technical sections where you might tap the brakes. The ABP system works to isolate suspension forces from braking forces and does so effectively. We've become accustomed to "skittering" in technical braking situations that the ABP all but eliminates. Having more control over the descents makes this bike feel more composed. While we're pleased to see more bikes offering in-frame storage, its implementation on the Fuel isn't without fault. The opening is smaller than others, preventing us from stashing as many items in the downtube. Trek gives instructions on how to fold a tube, inflator, and CO2 cartridge inside the included Bontrager BITS internal frame storage bag, and it works if you follow their directions carefully. Trying to fit additional items or not folding the tube as shown results in failure. The Fuel EX 9.8 isn't exactly light; our size large test model weighed in at 32 lbs 9 ounces, even with its costly build. Does it matter? There's an adage around bike geeks that "A good bike weighs what it ought to," which certainly feels like the case here. This bike is also longer than almost any other trail bike we've tested, with a wheelbase of 1250mm. While that made tight switchbacks more challenging, it didn't feel like it negatively affected its handling and certainly contributed to its stability and confidence at speed. If you want a versatile trail slayer that won't leave you feeling held back, check out the Gen 6 Fuel lineup.

Frame Design

The Trek Fuel EX has been around for many years, and the latest version is referred to as the Gen 6 to denote the model's 6th generation. The Fuel EX has been completely redesigned and looks nothing like its predecessor, the Gen 5. First and foremost, travel is increased by 10mm at both ends to 150mm in front and 140mm in the rear. We tested the 9.8 GX AXS built around a full OCLV carbon frame that uses Trek's typical Active Braking Pivot or ABP suspension design. ABP is essentially a four-bar design with the main pivot attached just above the bottom bracket and a magnesium rocker link attached mid-way up the seat tube to compress a vertically oriented shock. ABP sets itself apart from other designs with a pivot point around the rear axle, which allows the suspension to move more freely while the brakes are applied. The lower shock mount spans two bridges between the down and seat tubes, and it has a flip chip to adjust the progressivity between less and more , giving it coil shock compatibility. In addition to having a dramatically different silhouette than previous versions of the Fuel EX, the Gen 6 also has in-tube internal cable routing (although the brake line runs externally along the chainstay). It has a large full-length down tube cover to protect it from trail debris and shuttle damage, along with the typical molded chainstay protection. The carbon and aluminum frames have internal frame storage and include a Bontrager BITS padded tool sleeve. The frame storage door also has a set of bottle bosses and a Bontrager bottle cage attached. Keen-eyed observers will also notice that the shape of the downtube no longer requires a knock-block headset, a very welcome change.

Geometry is one of the biggest things that sets the Gen 6 apart from the previous version of the Fuel EX , and Trek went all in to bring it in line with modern geometry and make it one of the most adjustable models on the market. Not surprisingly, it is longer and slacker with a modern 485mm reach on our size Large that goes along with a 64.5/65.1-degree head tube angle in the low/high Mino Link settings, respectively. Trek has given the Fuel EX size-specific chainstays starting at 435mm for XS-M frames, topping out at 450mm for XXL, with 440mm on our Large. Effective seat tube angles vary slightly between sizes and geometry settings but are relatively steep in the 77+ degree range. The bottom bracket sits fairly low at 335mm with 38mm of drop in the low/neutral setting, and flipping the Mino Link to high raises it by 8mm. M-XXL frames come with 29-inch wheels, XS comes with 27.5-inch wheels, and S frames are available with either. It's also mullet compatible with the Mino Link in High when run with a 160mm fork.

Downhill Performance

We've thus far highlighted its versatility, but the new Fuel Ex is a monster on the descent. 140mm of ABP rear-wheel travel does a phenomenal job of keeping the rear wheel engaged. The suspension design eats up chop and chunder while remaining confident in the drops. The redesigned frame is so much burlier and more aggressive; you can push this bike so hard you'll forget it's a mid-travel trail bike.

It comes alive at speed, inspiring confidence in rough and steep terrain. Adjustable geometry is a clear highlight, allowing the rider to set the bike up with a tremendous variety in personality and capability. This Fuel could be a park bike as easily as an all-day trail ride. Fox Performance suspension didn't give us access to separate dampening adjustments, but the suspension didn't generate complaints from any of our testers.

Uphill Performance

The new Fuel climbs incredibly well! Though muscular and somewhat heavy, its pedal platform is stable and supportive while efficiently transferring power. The bike sits high in its travel while climbing, offering very little squat, which helps the bike retain snappy handling despite the slack head tube. The carbon wheels featuring 108-point engagements are a pleasure to spin up. Ratcheting through a rock garden brings almost instant power transfer, leaving the bike lurching for more ground. The effective seat tube angle pushes 76.9 to 77.9 degrees, depending on your Mino Link and headset settings. As with most modern trail bikes, this steep angle leaves you ready to drop some quad power on the climbs.

Being directly over the cranks on this bike, you feel the lack of lateral flex as you grind out the climbs, especially out of the saddle. The front end of this bike is big; sitting atop the Performance 36 is a gorgeous 820mm bar with an effective stem length of 45mm. We're not sold on the merits of combining these components, but we never felt the need to adjust the sweep or rise and had no complaints about its performance. The bottom bracket height is almost worryingly low in the bike's lowest setting, yet we kept the pedals off the ground thanks to the suspension's anti-squat traits.

Mountain bikes are expensive, and nice mountain bikes are very expensive but also very enjoyable to ride. The GX AXS build we tested sells for $5999 with Fox Performance suspension. Our test bike was equipped with carbon wheels, a rapid engagement free hub, one piece bar / stem, and heroic tires. Some of the parts might not shine on a shelf by themselves, but there was nothing on this bike that we felt like replacing. This bike is priced competitively with today's top trail bikes; whether it's a good value or not is a bit subjective. If this bike doesn't feel like a great value to you, Trek offers an aluminum version of the new Fuel for less than half the price of this bike.

Previous generations of the Trek Fuel never quite scratched that trail itch for us, but this bike may have found the secret sauce. A longer-legged daily driver with swagger and adjustability, it's not too burly or squatty to crush the climbs. Its playfulness and descending prowess bring confidence and traction everywhere we want it. The lively feel and super active rear end keep the rear tire on the ground instead of skittering through the choppy stuff. With its versatility and adjustability, this will be a bike to ride for years to come.

Russia’s BN-800 refuelled with mox: full mox core planned for 2022

!{Model.Description}

The first full refuelling of Russia’s BN-800 fast reactor at unit 4 of the Beloyarsk NPP with only uranium-plutonium mixed oxide (mox) fuel was completed during the recent scheduled maintenance outage, fuel company TVEL (part of Rosatom) announced on 24 February. The unit, which was shut down on 8 January, has been reconnected to the grid and has resumed electricity production. The first 18 serial mox fuel assemblies were loaded into the reactor in January 2020, and another 160 fuel assemblies have now been added to them. Thus, the BN-800 core is now one-third filled with innovative fuel and in future only mox fuel will be loaded into the reactor.

“Beloyarsk NPP is now one step closer to implementation of the strategic direction for the development of the nuclear industry - the creation of a new technological platform based on a closed nuclear fuel cycle,” said Ivan Sidorov, Director of the Beloyarsk NPP. “The use of mox fuel will make it possible to involve in fuel manufacture the isotope of uranium that is not currently used. This will increase the fuel base of the nuclear power industry tenfold. In addition, the BN-800 reactor can reuse used nuclear fuel from other NPPs and minimise radioactive waste by “afterburning” long-lived isotopes from them. Taking into account the planned schedule, we will be able to switch to a core with a full load of mox fuel in 2022.”

The fuel assemblies were manufactured at the Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC, Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory). Unlike enriched uranium, which is traditional for nuclear power, the raw materials for the production of mox fuel pellets are plutonium oxide produced in power reactors and depleted uranium oxide (obtained by defluorination of depleted uranium hexafluoride - DUHF, the secondary "tailings" of the enrichment plant.

“In parallel with loading the BN-800 core with mox fuel, Rosatom specialists are continuing to develop technologies for the production of such fuel at the MCC,” said Alexander Ugryumov, vice president for research, development and quality at TVEL. “In particular, the production of fresh fuel using high-background plutonium extracted from the irradiated fuel of VVER reactors has been mastered: all technological operations are fully automated and are performed without the presence of personnel in the immediate vicinity. The first 20 mox-FAs incorporating high-background plutonium have already been manufactured and passed acceptance tests, and they are planned to be loaded in 2022. Advanced technologies for recycling nuclear materials and refabrication of nuclear fuel in the future will make it possible to process irradiated fuel instead of storing it, as well as to reduce the amount of high-level waste generated.”

Serial production of mox fuel began at the end of 2018 at MCC. To achieve this, broad industry cooperation was organised under the coordination and scientific leadership of TVEL, which supplies the mox-fuel to Beloyarsk NPP. Initially, the BN-800 reactor was launched with a hybrid core, partly equipped with uranium fuel produced by Mashinostroitelny Zavod in Elektrostal (Moscow Region), and partly with experimental mox assemblies manufactured at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) in Dimitrovgrad, Ulyanovsk region).

Moscow talks hold no weight, says Ghani

KABUL (TOLONews): President Ashraf Ghani said the Afghan politicians attending the Moscow Talks have no executive authorities and are not officially representing Afghanistan.

In a exclusive interview with TOLOnews, Ghani said a peace deal with the Taliban will not be implemented unless there is nationwide consensus.

He said the Taliban’s move to cut ties with al-Qaeda was a major step forward in the peace process.

Ghani meanwhile gave his assurance that presidential elections will be held on time. Elections are scheduled for July 20 this year.

Ghani meanwhile questioned the mechanism of the Moscow Talks and said: “With whom, what will they agree upon there? Where is their executive power? Let hundreds of such meetings be held, but these would only be paper (agreements) unless there is an agreement by the Afghan government; Afghanistan’s national assembly and Afghanistan’s legal institutions.”

He said US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad consulted the Afghan government about his meeting last month with the Taliban and that the Afghan government was fully aware of what was happening at the US-Taliban meetings.

“All talks are shared with us. All talks are set with us. The peace talks will move step by step with our consultations and according to our plan,” said Ghani.

“A peace deal can’t be reached without nationwide agreement and without legal procedures. Has the Constitution given me the mandate to dissolve the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan?” Ghani asked.

Ghani meanwhile also rejected rumors about the formation of an interim government.

“Hundreds of rumors were made that talks had been held on an interim government; you can ask Mr. Khalilzad about this; he (Khalilzad) swore a hundred times that no one talked about such a thing,” Ghani said.

He said that elections will be held on time.

“Elections are ahead of us. Elections will be held one hundred percent. So be prepared to move towards the elections,” said Ghani.

Ghani said that appropriate grounds for peace have been paved – more so than ever before.

Ghani concluded that he is not concerned about talks between Taliban and the US but added there was the need for coordination regarding the peace process.
