July 13, 2023 - (Waterloo, WI) Last summer Trek redefined the e-MTB experience with the launch of Fuel EXe, and today they broaden the horizons of its quiet ride and natural feeling support with a new aluminum chassis. The new alloy Fuel EXe provides riders with the same category-redefining tech as its carbon counterpart, but in a package that hits a lower price point to appeal to more riders around the world.
Every Fuel EXe is backed by the award-winning support of TQ’s HPR50 drive system with its unique harmonic pin ring transmission. This compact motor is tonally tuned to blend in with nature, providing riders with a one-of-a-kind trail experience that offers just enough support to flatten climbs without the whine of belts and gears. This tech made waves through the bike world when it first hit the trail, earning Pinkbike’s Innovation of the Year award, a Design and Innovation 2023 award, and Popular Science 100 Greatest Innovations of 2022.
With 50Nm of torque, Fuel EXe has just the right amount of force for cranking up steep climbs. It finds the sweet spot between too much and too little for a ride that feels natural and smooth, yet supportive. The drive system can be tweaked in the Trek Central app, should riders want to custom tune their support.
But the motor isn’t all that can be customized on Fuel EXe Alloy. The new alloy models have the option of adding adjustable-angle headset cups to tweak the headtube angle in addition to the same Mino Link feature found on carbon models. If that isn’t enough, Fuel EXe Alloy even has room to run extra-long dropper posts and coil shocks.
Fuel EXe alloy is ready to rip with a 360Wh battery that provides support for 2-5 hours, but ride time can be extended with a compact 160Wh Range Extender that fits neatly in the bike’s bottle cage. With this added support, riders will be pleased to know they can ride for up to 7 hours between charges.
Fuel EXe is now available in new alloy and current carbon models at select Trek partners around the world and online at trekbikes.com in select markets.
