I apologize for the lateness in my reply. I've been traveling for the last several days. I appreciate you watching and leaving your feedback, my friend. It's nice when others add to the conversation. Adventure safely.
I agree; I love my Fuel EX and have often referred to it as the Toyota Tacoma of the Trek lineup. Thank you for watching and leaving your feedback, my friend.
Has anyone gotten a Gen 4 Top Fuel (carbon frame) down to 25-26 lbs with light wheels, etc? I love my Gen 6 Fuel EX. I'm looking at getting back into XC/Marathon racing and would like to stay with the Trek brand (the last time I raced was a 26-inch Top Fuel btw, that's how long its been). But the Supercaliber seems like it would be too harsh on central Texas XC courses. Top Fuel Gen 4 looks good but only if I could get it down to 25-26 lbs (since many folks are racing on 24-25 lb bikes).
This is a great question, my friend, and hopefully, others will chime in. If you were to replace the rim set and replace other components with lightweight carbon fiber or titanium, yes, I do believe you would reach your goal of a sub 24 lbs TopFuel.
I have that exact top fuel and 😍 all the bike I need ATM ya I gotta choose my line and take it easy on the chunk but it goes anywhere a slash can and way faster if peddling 😜
@@kendalspeck1039 we definitely appreciate you taking the time to watch our video and add to the conversation. Or should I say to be the first to start the conversation. I believe the Trek MTB lineup has so much to offer so many riders. And I hear what you’re saying about your top fuel. I ride my fuel ex like I stole it. I take her everywhere without hesitation. Thanks again for your support, my friend. Have fun out there and adventure safely.
Top fuel 8 (I prefer metal frames) with a 130mm fork sounds perfect to me. Would never need more than that.

The fuel ex7 is a great bike. Its a beast imo. Also the blue looks way better compared to the black.
