Trek Fuel EX 8 2007 Launch

The new improved full suspension mountain bike from Trek

Coming soon to J E James, the new 2007 Trek Fuel EX Series of Full Suspension Mountain Bikes. Not only are they better bikes, but they're better priced.

Fuel EX 8 Features new R1 concept

This concept gives low leverage ratios for more acurate rear shock response.

All Trek bearings come with a life time warrenty.

The new bearings are press fitted and come with a life time warranty, wider bearing placement for increased stiffness. Hi- Low chainstays improve stiffness further and reduce weight. The swing arm alone is 1/2lb (200g) lighter the frame as a whole is 1lb lighter yet stiffer. An extra bearing on the rear has led to improved levels of plushness and combined with a new 5" travel rear has better handling than ever.
