DESCRIPTION:
The 2023 Trek Fuel EXe 9.7 is a premium lightweight e-MTB that delivers a true trail-bike feel with subtle, ultra-quiet electric assist exactly when you need it.
Built on a high-end OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, it uses Trek’s compact TQ harmonic pin-ring motor for smooth, natural, almost invisible support, paired with a 360Wh integrated battery for extended trail time.
With 150mm front / 140mm rear suspension, it strikes a perfect balance between efficient climbing and confident descending. Finished with a Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain, powerful four-piston brakes, and tubeless-ready wheels, it delivers serious modern trail performance in a lightweight, refined package.
CONDITION – AS CLOSE TO NEW AS IT GETS:
• Purchased brand-new in 2023 from an official Trek dealership
• This bike is genuinely as close to new as you will find – immaculate throughout with no visible wear, marks, or scratches
• Ultra-low mileage – under 1,000 km
• Still on original tyres, virtually unused, with mould hairs still visible – clear evidence of minimal use
• Battery health: 100% – performs exactly like new
• Usage has been extremely light throughout 2023–2024, limited to jeep track, light gravel, and tar riding (no technical trails, no hard riding, and no aggressive use whatsoever)
• Regularly serviced, maintained, and professionally cared for by an official Trek dealership
• Recently fully cleaned, lubricated, and professionally inspected and serviced
• Mechanically 100% flawless, fully dialled, and ride-ready
• Absolutely nothing to spend – just get on and ride

ABOUT THE FUEL EXe:
The Fuel EXe is Trek’s next-generation lightweight e-MTB, designed to ride and feel almost exactly like a normal trail bike — just with a smooth, perfectly balanced boost when you need it.
Unlike heavy, overpowered e-bikes, the EXe is all about:
• Natural ride feel
• Lightweight performance
• Ultra-quiet motor system
At the heart of it is the compact TQ harmonic pin-ring motor — smaller, quieter, and far more refined than traditional systems. The result? A bike that feels smooth, responsive, and incredibly natural on the trail.
This is why so many riders call it one of the most “normal-feeling” e-MTBs ever made — you get the help on the climbs, without losing the fun, playful character of a proper trail bike.
RIDE EXPERIENCE:
• Effortless, natural assist that makes climbing feel easy
• Light, agile, and playful on descents – feels like a true trail bike
• Built for long days out, big climbs, and technical terrain
• Ride further, push harder, and enjoy every second on the bike
-
MORE DETAILS:
• Active Braking Pivot (ABP) – improved traction and control by keeping suspension active under braking
• Adjustable geometry (flip-chip) – fine-tune handling to suit your terrain and riding style
• ~19 kg total weight – light, agile, true trail-bike feel (not a heavy e-MTB)
• Range Extender compatible (160 Wh) – up to +40% extra range, bottle cage mounted, no wiring required
• Trek Central App connectivity – motor tuning, ride tracking, navigation & real-time range calculations
• 360Wh removable integrated battery – clean downtube design, 2–5 hour ride time, easy off-bike charging
-
