Who is the Trek Fuel EXe 9.7 designed for?
For athletes and fans. Numerous pros now utilize these bikes for training purposes. The rationale is obvious: the bike provides the rider with ample power to ascend the mountain and superior components down the trail. But these bikes don’t weigh as much as they did a few years ago. The flawlessly integrated batteries conceal the power initially. top-tier athletic quality with significant aspirations for all riders who view support as an advantage rather than a weakness.
The benefits of using 29-inch tires
The 29-inch trend in recent years has been able to assert itself completely. In spite of initial skepticism from mountain bike purists and a few teething problems, the bike industry has recognized the trend and made it the new norm through a series of incremental upgrades. The immense running smoothness of 29-inch tires is a significant advantage and power saver on lengthy excursions as well as uphill and downhill terrain. The increased circle of the wheels makes overcoming obstacles easier, and twisting the bottom bracket covers more ground. With changes and tweaks in the frame structure and component selection, initial problems with the agility of the trail and the optics of smaller frames were optimally balanced. Whether it has a full or hardtail, a 29-inch bike will go you far.
