Trek’s latest alloy Top Fuel is an awesome short-travel charger – I made some simple changes during testing and made it even better

Trek Top Fuel 9 Gen 4.

Trek’s Top Fuel has been shifting from a superlight XC racer to one of the best, hard-riding short-travel trail bikes available. The latest version drops frame mass, improves geometry and opens up more hard hitting performance potential too, making it more versatile and upgradeable than ever. Given the high price not having the fork and brakes it needs to really reap those more rad rewards is frustrating though.
