Sorry no updated bike pics or whatever. Just some helmet cam riding vids, doesn't really show the bike though haha
In France , the black 9.7 is out of stock in Large and Xlarge , it will be available in the other colour in 3 weeks
Ik don't see TQ releaseingen a more powerfull motor. The hpc 60 is not even a year old. And a Big upgrade already compared to the old one.

Very true. I’m okay though. I would not be able to use it this summer anyway. The bike is total overkill for my local trails (I have my Lauf for that) and this summer I’m stuck to home as I’m caring for my wife who has a 6-month recovery from some major surgery she had. So my traveling days won’t happen til Fall at earliest this year.
Still it’s annoying on the lead time and not knowing if there will be an upgrade this year or not.

Regarding the delivery delays, maybe they simply didn’t anticipate how successful the bike would be. After the huge industry crisis with brands massively overstocking bikes, they’re probably being much more cautious with production volumes now.
The Norco Sight VLT with the TQ motor also seemed to go out of stock very quickly, although they eventually produced new batches.
I honestly don’t think it has anything to do with a new motor coming from TQ. It’s more likely just brands being very careful with stock management.

Mx + spring is the best combo

That green looks more silvery than I would have thought. It looks nice, though that color is out of stock in size large currently.
I'm currently debating on getting an LX (3-4 month delivery window so mid Sept) or seeing what Orbea comes out with for their new Avinox based Wild in mid June (with who knows what eta?). Based on lead times, by the time I'm ready to buy again, this'll probably be a 2027 bike at that point.
Still haven’t changed my view on this bike, the TQ system & its versatility. Happy to rate it as one of the top 5 bikes I’ve ridden (motor or not).
Running it in stock EX mode as I have a FF long travel bike as well, although I’m curious to put a 65mm stroke shock on it as I plan to use it in the Alps this summer, as I refuse to buy a pedal bike for that & fear for my longevity on a Tallboy
In its lightweight trail setup…

The Jade X coil shock can go from 60mm to 65mm stroke by simply swapping the coil lower collar, and I have a 170 Zeb with smashpot coil conversion on my Trek Rail which I can use on the Fuel+. So it's very easy to transform the bike for riding rowdier terrain.
I will have my mx with 65 MM stroke on the vivid coil and the zeb smashpot in 170 too.
Perhaps I will test in 180mm even if Trek say not much than 170

I looked at a large 9.7 on the floor in Henderson, NV last week. It was interesting. They did not seem to want to talk to me about it since I mentioned that I wasn't ready to buy until the end of the year. Good looking bike though!
size large , How tall are you?
It's a size M, I'm 175cm tall

I got one, though I posted about it in a new post as this thread’s title stating (EXE) made me think of the last gen Fuel+.
Anyway my first ride impressions.

No. I'm not a jumper and I'm allergic to getting off the ground LOL.
Pour moi, c'est tout le contraire. Fuel EXE était tellement amusant il y a deux ans ! J'espère que Fuel+ sera tout aussi bien… Plus que deux semaines à attendre.

Salut tout le monde
Could someone confirm that, on the 9.8 or 9.9 modele , you dont have to keep your finger 3s on the buton to switch between mode Eco and mode Off? I ve heard that now, just a simple click ( like to up or down the mode) allows you to switch between this 2 modes

Oui, du moins sur mon Propain sresh SL tu peux descendre jusqu'à le mettre sans assistance, l'écran reste allumé contrairement à si tu l'éteint avec le bouton central mais l'assistance coupe totalement. J'imagine que c'est pareil sur le Trek.
You ve got the color screen or black and white screen?

color screen on the propain
I have the 9.8 MX with colour screen and I have to hold the button for 3s to switch from Eco to Off.
C'est étrange. Dans certaines vidéos, ils disent qu'avec l'écran Coloris, on n'a pas besoin de
à 1'33"
the other owners , could you confirm you have the possibility to get bak from eco to off with a quick single press on the remote?

My Trek Fuel+ display is the colour model but it's not quite the same as the one in this video. I don't know if Trek has customised the TQ display or if maybe mine (or the one in the video) has an updated version.
On the display in the video there are two sets of bars on each side of the display which light up in vertical segments as you move through the power modes. In mine, instead, there is a single horizontal bar at the bottom of the display which lights up in segments from left to right and also changes colour from green, yellow, to blue. I'm guessing that these subtle differences might also include the 3s delay when switching from Eco to Off. It took me a while to figure it out (yes I actually had to read the user guide!) but actually it's really not a big deal so I'm not sure why it matters to you.
