templatestotal.blogg.se - Trek fuel ex 5 2019

Trek’s Active Braking Pivot (or ABP for short), unlike the Full Floater, avoids the chop on the latest Fuel EX. To then go on and claim that there’s no loss in suspension performance after doing away with this system begs the question of why it was implemented in the first place. It also claimed that a Full Floater bike felt like it had more travel than it actually does. It’s worth noting that, at the time it was used on the bike, Trek claimed that its Full Floater system meant that the shock’s leverage ratios could be soft off the top, give plenty of mid-stroke support and help increase bottom-out resistance. Trek claims that doing away with its Full Floater technology means that the frame can be stiffer, tyre clearance can be increased and there’s no loss in suspension performance. Trek claims the RE:aktiv Thru Shaft shock has unparalleled performance benefits. You can now fit a 29 x 2.6-inch tyre on the back of the bike and Bontrager XR4 2.6-inch wide rubber is standard on all models of the Fuel EX. Not only has the bike’s geometry been modernised - Trek has also worked hard to accommodate the modern, discerning mountain biker.

Notes: Measurements for size large bike, full measurements available on Trek’s website.

Effective top tube: 634/633 mm (low/high).

Head tube angle: 66/66.5 degrees (low/high).

Seat tube angle: 75/75.5 degrees (low/high).

Changing from low to high adjusts the head angle from 66 to 66.5 degrees, the seat tube angle from 75 to 75.5 degrees and reduces the bottom bracket drop, shortens the chainstay and the wheelbase among other numbers. You also get a high and low setting thanks to Trek’s Mino Link flip-chip that’s located on the seatstay to rocker link. The Mino Link lets you adjust the bike’s geometry.
