Standout feature: Removable TQ battery and a sleek top-tube display with minimal remote keep the cockpit clean, natural, and closer to a non-assisted trail bike

This bike suits a trail rider who wants the natural handling and light weight of a traditional bike but appreciates a subtle boost for longer days linking up climbs on Knox Mountain or repeat laps through Hydraulink Trails. It's a strong fit for someone who rides regularly with unassisted friends and wants to keep pace without the bulk and buzz of a heavier, full-power e-MTB. They'll appreciate the quiet TQ motor, the removable battery, and Shimano XT's reliable, low-maintenance shifting.

As a Trek dealer, our team can walk you through the TQ display and connectivity setup, and set your sag, rebound, and compression on the Fox 36 fork and Float X shock to match your weight and riding style. We'll route and adjust your Bontrager Line dropper post, and set your tyres up tubeless with the right pressure for local trail conditions. We also offer ongoing e-bike servicing, firmware updates, and suspension tuning as your riding progresses.

Q1: What size Trek Fuel EXe 8 XT do I need?
The Fuel EXe 8 XT comes in four sizes — S, M, L, and XL — each with dropper post travel and cockpit dimensions scaled to fit. General sizing follows your height and riding style, but the best way to confirm your size is an in-person fit — our team at either Kelowna location can get you set up correctly.

Q2: Is the Fuel EXe 8 XT right for Knox Mountain or Hydraulink Trails?
Yes — with 150mm/140mm of travel, a capable Fox suspension package, and grippy 29x2.5" tyres, the Fuel EXe 8 XT handles the climbs and technical sections on Knox Mountain and Hydraulink Trails confidently, with the TQ motor helping take the edge off repeated laps.

Q3: How far can I ride on a single charge, and what factors affect range?
Range on the Fuel EXe 8 XT is highly dependent on terrain, climbing, assist mode, and rider weight, so Trek doesn't publish a single fixed mileage figure for this e-MTB [VERIFY exact range for your riding conditions]. Our team can walk you through assist mode strategy and battery management to help you get the most out of a ride.
