In contrast to the trend towards 27.5″ wheels in the Enduro category, Trek have opted to go for big hoops on this monster. Slash your type of bike? Don’t miss all the details in our 2017 Slash launch post here: 2017 Slash 29. The new 2017 Slash 29 is a monster of a bike, with 29″ wheels wrapped in chunky rubber and Bontrager’s new 35mm clamp bar and stem.
Remedy 9 Race Shop Limited, $5399.īikes don’t get any more badass than this. An aluminium frame keeps the price down, but the spec is excellent, RockShock Lyrik, SRAM X1 drivetrain and Bontrager 30mm wide rims. The Remedy 9 Race Shop Limited in glossy red (below) looks like a real winner. We took the 9.8 for a quick lap of Stromlo, hear are our thoughts after the ride: Quick Ride Review – Remedy 9.8 Tipping the playful Remedy with meaty 27.5″ Bontrager tyres into a turn. New for 2017, RockShox Deluxe rear shock with Trek’s Re:Aktiv damper inside.

Travel bumps up to 150mm of travel and they all use RockShox rear shocks, and like the Fuel EX the frame is stiffer and geometry more aggressive.įor the full rundown on the changes to the 2017 Remedy, click through to our in-depth launch piece here: 2017 Trek Remedy. New for 2017 the Remedy is 27.5″ only, no more 29″ model. The four-strong lineup of Remedy models available in Australia begins at $3699 for the aluminium version and tops out at the Remedy 9.8 for $6799. Our favourite, neon pink and yellow on a matte black base, seriously bold and hot!įor more on the Project One custom, click here.Ī long time favourite at Flow the Remedy scores a big facelift too, stepping up in travel, stiffness and receiving an updated frame geometry for a more gravity/enduro spirit. It’s usually around $1500 for a colour option in Project One, so Project One Now is a more affordable way for a little bit of unique individuality in a sweet bike. It’s essentially a trimmed down version of the highly customisable Project One scheme Trek offer for key models – with Project One Now it’s just the colour you can select, not spec changes. To make the new Fuel even more appealing, The Fuel EX 9.8 is a part of the Project One Now, for an extra $750 you have an extra three colour options to choose from. Fuel EX 9, decent value in our opinion for $5199. Adjustable geometry via the Mino Link reversible chip insert, nifty. We were fortunate to attend the official launch of the 2017 Fuel EX, Remedy and Slash in Canada, for the story on the new bikes in greater detail head to our launch feature here: TREK’S ALL-NEW REMEDY AND FUEL EX.
Trek’s James Collins is frothing for his new 29er Fuel EX, the stiffer frame and grippy 29″ wheels are a match made in heaven.įor 2017 the Fuel goes up to 130mm travel front and back, frame geometry is more aggressive and the frame is a whole lot stiffer. Topping out at the Fuel EX 9.9 29 with SRAM Eagle and a full carbon frame for $9999 it’s clear that the Fuel is a solid model for Trek Australia. The Fuel range is massive, starting at an impressive $2999 there are eight models available in carbon and aluminium, including two women’s versions. The new Fuel is 29er only, gone is the 27.5″ option, the only exception to this rule is to be found in the WSD (Women’s Specific Design) models of the Fuel, which have a 27.5-specific frameset in 14″ and 15.5″ frame sizes. The Fuel EX is a real winner for Trek, nailing that middle category of ‘trail rider’ and the 2017 model scores a massive overhaul with a whole host of new frame designs. Check out what caught our fancy from the new range.Īll the 2017 bikes are now up on Trek’s site here: Trek Fuel EX We appreciate where Trek are headed for 2017, simplifying the wheel sizes down to one per model. With a visit to Trek World we were greeted with hordes of amazing new bikes, it’s a big year for Trek with the new Fuel EX, Remedy and Slash.
