Fuel EXe 8 GX AXS T-Type: New e-bike with TQ motor

The Fuel EXe 8 GX AXS T-Type is a new mountain bike from Trek that is primarily designed for use on trails. The Fuel EXe has an Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame, while the shock and suspension come from Fox.

Trek is expanding its already wide range of e-bikes with the Fuel EXe 8 GX AXS T-Type. The manufacturer has dispensed with the carbon frame, but the weight of 20.25 kilograms for a full-suspension e-bike is still absolutely reasonable. A lightweight mid-motor, the TQ HPR50, is installed, which has a maximum torque of 50 Nm and a maximum output of 300 watts. This is accompanied by a battery with a capacity of 360 Wh, which is rather small, so the e-bike may quickly run out of steam, especially in demanding off-road use with steep inclines. An LED display with Bluetooth and ANT+ support is available.

The suspension parts come from Fox. The Fox Rhythm 36 Float front suspension has a travel of 150 millimeters, while a Fox Performance Float X is used for the rear. 29-inch Bontrager Line Comp Tubeless Ready tires form the front and rear, which are 2.5 inches wide. Wider tires are not supported.

SRAM’s 12-speed wireless GX AXS transmission is installed. The hydraulic disc brakes, each with four brake pistons, also come from SRAM, with the DB 8 brakes each gripping 200 millimeter brake discs. The Fuel EXe 8 GX AXS T-Type is priced at USD 7399 and is also available directly from Trek.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
