If you want a light, short travel bike, you may do better looking at the Lauf eElja.

It really comes down to several things. If you look at watts by weight, because of extra packing and dual BMS you’ll get less energy per kg. Second, when I was tracking range, I noticed I would get less miles per watt consumed on the Range extender than using the main battery. If you look at...

I have 2 range extenders with two bikes. My eElja: 360 + 160 =520 My Fuel+: 580 + 160 =740 Now for really long days it’s easy to carry both extenders so I can do: 580 + 160 + 160 = 900 I will say that the RE is not as efficient though. While Lauf gave a discount on a second RE as I was...

That’s actually quite possible. Trek was the exclusive TQ launch partner for the first year of the HPR50. However I could see this being an exclusive to Trek and Yeti, at least for US brands for the initial bikes.

Hey a-hole. I’ve read this thread. People said availability next year, which I read as being able to pick one up. No one said anything about public announcement.

So if new bikes are showing up in dealer ordering systems, at what point might they officially be announced? I'm wondering the typical lead time between dealer engagement and public announcement? BTW, I also saw a comment of a Facebook post on a Trek TQ group claiming the HPR60 will get a...

That would be awesome if true. I know the max watts on the motor is officially 350w but I see mine hit 425w or more regularly so I know it can do more.

It's possible that TQ isn't quite ready but the 2027 bikes were so Trek released then now with existing motor and perhaps will spec change the motor when ready. Though if that is the case then it would imply it fits the current frame. Not sure if that is realistic.....

Also I see there is no Aluminum version of the EX now, only carbon starting from $6k for the US market. EDIT. A lot of the images in the configurator appear to be pointing to the wrong bike at the moment. This appears to be the new LX 9.9 XO. EDIT2: No this is actually the Eagle 90 build...

Looking through the configurator I see all current Fuel+ bikes have been updated with 2027 parts at lower prices. Availability is mid December. Motor is still HPR60 with 580wh battery. For example: Old LX 9.9 XO was $11,699.99 now discounted to $10,199.97. Had Fox suspension. New LX 9.9 XO...

Well interestingly, Trek just announced a new Fuel which when you click on the link, doesn't actually exist yet in the builder. So perhaps they are beginning to roll out 2027 models....

Yep, though they came out in 2025.

Perhaps someone was confusing america's 9/7/26 as being European or Austrailian?? :ROFLMAO: That would be funny if it was really Sept 7th and not July 9th! Seriously though, as it's Trek it could be midday CDT which is in 1:10 minutes or it could be midnight. Or never and the OP was full of BS...

I'd support this, though I would not expect anything with this update. I'll admit I'd love four modes. I like to tune my low, medium and high to be closer together so that I can adjust on ride but it would be nice to have a boost that was full everything for those occasional times you really...

What did I do to the bike this week? Rather what did the bike do to me? Rather the bike decided that after near 3000 miles that the back wheel wanted a "break". Heard a massive thwack on a hard g-out. At the time I thought it was because I blew through the rear shock. Rode for another 15...
