Other Gen 2 Trek Fuel + (EXE) Official thread.

Forgot to mention, I use the handlebar button to go from Eco to Off, so no need to take your hands off the bars to do this.

Yes I know but on the propain for exemple with the coloris screen , you could press one clics on the remonte to pass from eco to off
 
My EX9.7 has the black and white display. Comparing to the color one, I am actually liking the B&W display more; it's more subtle, less in your face!

I mirror battery percentage and ride range to Garmin, so I usually leave the TQ display on the Watt output. Having watched that video, I'm also glad that pressing the button toggles between screens and that there is no need for a double press.
 
I was hoping that mine would come with the colour display with the blue sidebars as per the video, but it came with a different colour display which is just as nice but different.

Yes 100%
I can just go down on the remote from eco to no assist on the Propain Sresh sl
 
Fuel+ LX 9.7. (Started life as an EX).
I have almost 1k miles on it. It’s been an awesome bike.

Yes! I was very much surprised how well it shifts. I was coming off of X01 mech and have a decent amount of experience with AXS and Shamino XTR/XT.
 
Just put my "spare" TQ HPR 360Wh battery from my Tek Fuel Exe up for sale on classifieds if anyone is interested. Looking for £295 posted anywhere within the UK. Wont post outwith the UK.

Bon !

Petit compte rendu du vélo ?
Click to expand...
Voici le bilan du vélo :

Après un premier problème de moteur (capteur d'alimentation HS), tout est rentré dans l'ordre et je peux maintenant rouler. La TQ60 est nettement plus silencieuse que la 50. J'adore cette moto : agile, cinématique agréable… on dirait une enduro.

Question to Fuel+ owners... do you regret purchasing this bike over a full power emtb?

This bike is very intriguing to me as my first emtb. I'm test riding a buddies Orbea Rise. The range i can achieve on the Rise seems fine to my needs living in Southern California and climbing up to get rowdy downhills in Aliso and Laguna.

Wondering if the Fuel+ would be a solid choice for me given i still want to pedal and get exercise on my rides.

I recently took it to the Alps & chucked a 65mm stroke shock & 160mm fork on it, and for 90% of trails it was still great. It only got overwhelmed on really fast rough stuff.

For home, the stock EX setup is great. I may end up just leaving the 160mm air shaft on the fork as I’m too lazy to change it, and I like the extra stack height. It is a nice balance of exercise and assistance. Against the current crop of full power bikes, you won’t stand a chance if it is a pacy ride, but I have found against most riders mid power modes (Trail/Tour/etc) you can ride with them with a not too aggressive amount of work.

It’s definitely not as capable as my Dreadnought (up or down) but it’s a better all rounder as a bike for a wider spectrum of trails & use.
 
yesterday, I rode it in the parking lot and down a street with a hill... what a difference in motor feel and quietness compared to the shimano motor on the Rise i'm currently test riding.

I saw some negative reviews and issues about the TQ motor quality as well as Trek frame quality when browsing various websites last night. Of course we all post the negatives online. a few posted about their crank arm snapping off the TQ motor and others posted about intermittent no power where the cranks just spin.

How has the TQ motor quality been for the owners of a Fuel+? any issues with Trek frame quality for riders who like the chunky downhill trails?

I really like this bike but quality is always a concern with high priced machines. Also range anxiety is real as i want to achieve at least 5k elevation without the need for range extenders.
