First Look: Trek Fuel EX 27.5+

Lower, slacker, and rowdier—this plus-size trail bike is the most capable Fuel EX we’ve tried

Last year, when Trek entered the mid-fat mountain bike market with a remake of its successful Stache , it decided that 29+ was the optimal size for the hardtail. Now, the company has launched a new series of the popular full-suspension Fuel EX trail bike, which already comes in 27.5 and 29, in a 27.5+ version. It’s the Waterloo, Wisconsin, manufacturer’s entrée to the genre, and judging by our first month riding the bike, the company has done its design due diligence.

First, I really like the 2016 Fuel EX 29 . It feels like one of the best balanced, most all-around-capable trail bikes I rode this year. For those who want one bike that’s capable enough for pretty much any terrain but still light enough to race, there are few better options. It’s also worth noting that Trek, just a week ago, announced a revised version of the Fuel EX 29 and 27.5 that makes both bikes slacker and adds travel—130 millimeters and 150 millimeters respectively. That’s in keeping with industry trends, and though I hate to see a good bike change, I have to imagine that the new models will likely be just as fleet and even more proficient.

Following suit with the changes to the rest of the line, the new Fuel EX 27.5+ feels very different from the 29er model I’ve been riding, beyond just the extra tire girth. It has more travel, with 130 millimeters of rear travel and 140 millimeters up front, and is lower slung, thanks to a slightly taller head angle and a bottom bracket that’s a full centimeter lower than before. It has the same Mino-Link chip in the suspension as before that allows angle adjustments to the bike, from a comfy 67.2 degrees in high to a downright slack 66.6 degrees in low. The rear end has been tightened up, too, with even shorter chain stays.

Tech talk aside, the bike basically feels more upright, more stable at speed, and overall more capable on rocky and technical riding. It has a centered, grounded feel, like you’re sitting inside the frame rather than on top of it, which makes for serious confidence at high speed. The bigger tires, 2.8-inch Bontrager Chucupabras, make the bike even more assertive as all that rubber grips like sticky tape when you lean the bike hard.

The downside of all that stability is that climbing performance has dropped incrementally. Though it still pedals fine, thanks to the dialed Fox Float EVOL shock, the lower BB had me knocking the pedals in rocky or rooted terrain. And of course the bigger tires mean more rotating weight, so you don’t have the same sprightly feeling in the steeps. The good news is that the frame will accommodate 29er wheels (with up to 2.4-inch tires), so you could theoretically own two sets of hoops for ultimate versatility. If I took that approach, I’d be tempted to go light and fast on the 29ers and then find bigger rubber for the 27.5+ (for instance the excellent Maxxis Rekon+ ), because while the Chucupabras are great tires, they aren’t as capable as the bike and tend to wander and skitter in rocks and chunder.

On paper, the Fuel EX 27.5+ bears a striking resemblance to this year’s Gear of the Year-winning Specialized Stumpjumper 6Fatti e , but they are actually very different bikes. The Specialized is more of an all-around trail machine that takes its cues from the shorter travel Camber, while the Trek feels robust and rowdy, as if it’s inspired by longer-travel enduro machines. Both would make excellent daily drivers, but the Fuel EX would be our recommendation for riders who live in rockier, techier places or those who prefer to push more on descents.

The full-suspension Trek Fuel EX 27.5 Plus won’t replace any existing models but simply complement them for riders in search of greater versatility. It’s available in three models, including the EX 5 ($2,400) and EX 8 ($3,300), both aluminum, as well as the carbon EX 9.8 ($5,300) that we’ve been testing.

Trek Marlin 5 Gen 2

Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. A suspension fork, 2x8 drivetrain, and mounts for a rack and kickstand make it an ideal choice for new trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike. It's right for you if... You're new to the trail, and you're looking for a real mountain bike that doubles as a commuter—and you want it all at an exceptional value. The tech you get A lightweight aluminum frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, 2x8 drivetrain, a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and a terrain-smoothing suspension fork with a lockout. The final word Marlin 5 is a great ride for all your adventures. But it's also versatile, and Marlin 5 is a popular ride on college campuses, because the rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize and haul a load. Why you'll love it - It's a real mountain bike that's also perfectly suited to daily commutes, rides around campus, or just getting from A to B on any surface - Smaller frame sizes (XXS, XS, and S) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently - Marlin models in XXS through S frame sizes have a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount - Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter - Like every model in the Marlin family, it's backed by Trek's lifetime warranty Wheel size: - Size XX-Small: 26-inch - Sizes X-Small – Small: 27.5-inch - Sizes Medium – XX-Large: 29-inch

Will my bike have a curved top tube?

Smaller frames (XXS-S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. The larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.

Trek 27.5 Plus Mountain Bikes

• Bicycling Catalog
• 27.5-Inch Plus Wheel

What is a Mid-Fat?   27.5 Plus (aka mid-fat) is a tire size relatively new to mountain biking.  A traditional mountain bike tire measures between 2" and 2.6" with wider tires becoming increasingly more popular.  A fat bike tire measures between 3.5" and 5".  Mid-fats were introduced as happy medium option that provides impressive traction without the added weight and friction of a full fat tire.  27.5 Plus is commonly found on entry-level hardtail mountain bikes, adventure bikes, and burly full-suspension trail bikes.

Who is it for?  Mid-fats are an excellent option for aspiring mountain bikers looking for a fun, affordable hardtail that's tough enough to handle techy single-track trails.  One of the most noticeable benefits is the amazing traction that comes with low tire pressure and a wide footprint.  Riders who are more interested pedalling where others are pushing and less concerned with overall speed will want to take a look at 27.5 Plus.

CLAUDIO MARONGIU

“Ho bucato la gomma del mio monociclo elettrico. Nessuno svolge riparazioni di questo tipo a Cagliari. Ero rimasto senza speranze. L’ho quindi portato da Fabio Zedde e in un’ora era pronto per essere usato. Riassunto: Lavoro ottimo, Velocità super, Prezzi onestissimi (E poi è vicino a casa 😊) . Stessa questione per la bicicletta che faccio toccare solo a lui per gli stessi motivi. Consigliatissimo”

Heybike HERO review: The biggest, chunkiest carbon fiber fat tire e-bike you’ve ever seen

One of the beautiful things about the state of the electric bicycle industry currently being in the equivalent of the 1920s car market is that you’ve got around a hundred different e-bike companies all trying new and crazy things with sometimes wildly divergent design concepts. The recently-announced Heybike HERO is the purest embodiment of that idea, showcasing what happens when a company says “Let’s build a super lightweight carbon fiber frame but also stuff it full of suspension and heavy, high-power components.”

Want to see this thicc boy in action? The bike, I mean. Then check out my riding and testing video below. Then keep reading for my full thoughts on the Heybike HERO!

So much to take in

There’s a lot to take in when you first lay eyes on the Heybike HERO.

At first glance, it looks like a lot of step-through fat tire adventure e-bikes we’ve seen. But a closer look reveals hidden rear suspension in the form of horst link suspension. You almost don’t notice it at first because the shock is nicely designed to be tucked up into the frame behind the seat tube.

Then of course there’s the fact that the frame has a number of strange angles, throwing off the visuals. Those are made possible by the construction of carbon fiber. Good luck trying to get a funky frame like this with just hydroformed aluminum.

There’s a somewhat out of place moto-style headlight up front, mounted to the same place on the fork where a front fender is conspicuously absent. There’s also no rear fender, though that’s quite common with full-suspension e-bikes.

It may look like there’s a mid-drive motor, but that’s just a ruse. The Heybike HERO does in fact come in a 750W mid-drive variant, but we’re testing the 1,000W hub driver version. That means the mid-drive-lookin’ box down by the pedals is just an empty cavity, or may hold the controller and rat’s nest of wires, at most.

A surprisingly high-digit 9-speed transmission in the form of a Shimano Altus derailleur is tucked up next to one side of that chunky rear hub motor, and a 180mm disc rotor sits on the other side of the motor. A pair of dual-piston hydraulic calipers provide the stopping power.

Ok, but how does it ride?

So those are the specs and the loadout, but what is it like to hop and twist the throttle?

In a word, peppy! That hub motor puts out 100 Nm of torque, which is more than just about any hub motor e-bike we’ve tested. By the time you reach 65 or 70 Nm, you’re into fairly powerful territory. 100 Nm is more than anyone really asks for, but Heybike has no qualms about giving it to us!

Not only does the bike get up to an impressive (and questionably legal) 50-ish km/h, or around 31 mph, but it does it on throttle only. You can of course toss in your own pedaling effort to take advantage of the pedal assist, but unlike most e-bikes that cut the throttle above 20 mph, the Heybike HERO let’s you keep roaring to max speed with your feet firmly planted in the stationary position.

The handling is also better than you’d expect, at least for a 75 lb fat tire e-bike. The suspension feels quite good, though again, I’m going into this with the mindset of a 75 lb fat tire e-bike, most of which handle like a truck.

That four-bar suspension in the rear works quite well, and certainly better than I was anticipating. It’s not going to give higher end e-bikes a run for their money, but it’s a lot better than the cheap stuff or the hardtails, that’s for sure.

That being said, the bike is still a beast. It’s lighter than it should be (the last full-suspension fat tire e-bike I tried weighed nearly 100 lb), but it isn’t a featherweight. I wouldn’t even call it nimble. You’ve still got to plan your turns in advance when you’re riding twisty terrain, and I’d argue that the bike is best kept to more relaxed trails that don’t have a lot of tight hairpins meant to be taken at speed. This is no downhill mountain bike, but rather a fun adventure bike.

The 9-speeds are nice to have, though few people will probably run all the way through them, especially with unlimited throttle on tap. There IS a torque sensor built into the bike, so if you can resist the urge to throttle most of the time, you’ll enjoy having the wider range of gears and the added torque sensor for natural feeling pedal assist performance . But that full-speed throttle sure is nice, especially on a bike with the power and suspension to feel like a light trail bike or motorbike similar to Sur Ron-class rides.

All in all, I’d say the Heybike HERO is a lot of fun. I’ve been having a blast riding this thing, though I’m not sure if the added expensive of the carbon fiber frame warrants the added price, to the tune of US $2,399. The bike is also on Indiegogo right now where it is taking pre-orders. While I normally give a healthy warning about crowdfunding campaigns, in this case, we at least know that Heybike is a tried-and-true company that has been around for years and has delivered tens of thousands of e-bikes to customers. This is NOT some overnight startup.

So the Heybike HERO has definitely been a fun, powerful, and responsive e-bike that I’ve enjoyed playing around on the trails and even for street riding. But you’ve got to be real into that carbon fiber frame and the fun orange visuals on this funky frame to want to pony up the cash for this one.
