Trek Fuel+ EX 8 Purple Flip: TQ assist on a tough aluminium frame

The Trek Fuel+ EX 8 Gen 2 takes the drive system of the carbon Fuel+ EX models, a TQ HPR60 motor and 580 Wh battery, and puts it on an Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium frame. It runs 145 mm at the rear and 150 mm at the front with Fox suspension, a SRAM Eagle 70 drivetrain and DB 8 brakes, for 21.08 kg in size M according to Trek.

Who is it for?

For the mountain biker who wants a light, natural-feeling e-MTB without investing in carbon, and who prefers an aluminium frame they won't be afraid to scratch. It is a good choice for a first trail e-MTB.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium, Trek's know-how. At Trek, Alpha refers to a family of alloys in several grades: Silver for entry level, Platinum above it, and NEXT Platinum at the top, the one used on this Fuel+ EX 8. The tubes are shaped to house the TQ motor and removable battery, with wall thicknesses tuned section by section. It is a frame that takes rock strikes without a second thought.

	Aluminium Fuel+ EX 8	Carbon Fuel+ EX (9.7 to 9.9)	Fuel EXe (previous generation)
Level	High-end Trek aluminium	Trek mountain bike carbon	Previous lightweight e-MTB
Construction	Alpha NEXT Platinum, tuned wall thickness	OCLV Mountain	Carbon, TQ HPR50 and 360 Wh
Reference bike	Fuel+ EX 8: 21.08 kg (M)	Fuel+ EX 9.7: 19.73 kg (M)	Fuel EXe 9.7: 19.33 kg (M)
What it means	Gentler budget, same motor	1.35 kg lighter	Less torque, smaller battery

Put simply: the Fuel+ EX 8 offers the TQ HPR60 drive system, 580 Wh battery and 145 / 150 mm of the carbon versions on an aluminium frame. It weighs 21.08 kg in M, 1.35 kg more than the carbon 9.7.

The Fox Performance Float X shock has a two-position lever: open for descending, firm for long fire-road climbs. With the TQ motor's assist, that firm setting avoids wasting energy through bobbing on the smooth tracks leading to the singletrack of the Espinouse.

The aluminium frame keeps the adjustments of the carbon version: adjustable progression and an interchangeable lower shock mount, so you can tailor the handling to your riding. The motor complies with electrically assisted bicycle regulations, 250 W rated and cut-off at 25 km/h.

Which Fuel+ should you choose?

Model	Frame	Motor / battery	Rear / front travel	Weight (M)
Fuel+ EX 8 Eagle 70	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	145 / 150 mm	21.08 kg
Fuel+ EX 9.7 Eagle 70	OCLV Mountain carbon	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	150 mm front	19.73 kg
Fuel+ EX 9.8 Eagle 90	OCLV Mountain carbon	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	145 / 150 mm	20.38 kg
Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2	OCLV Mountain carbon	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	150 / 160 mm	19.79 kg

Our take: the Fuel+ EX 8 weighs 21.08 kg in M, 1.35 kg more than the carbon 9.7 (19.73 kg), with an identical motor, battery and Eagle 70 drivetrain. The difference lies in the frame: it is up to you to judge whether carbon is worth it.

LVR sizing advice

If you are between sizes, the shorter one makes the Fuel+ EX 8 livelier in hairpins, the longer one more stable when the terrain speeds up. The dropper post grows with the frame: 170 mm in M, 200 mm in L.

Size	M	L
Rider height (cm)	165-177	177-188
Inseam (cm)	79-83	84-89
Dropper post (mm)	170	200
Front / rear wheels (in)	29 / 29	29 / 29

Your questions

Alloy or carbon?	The alloy version is 1.35 kg heavier in M but just as strong; the motor is the same.
What is the shock lever for?	It firms up the rear on smooth climbs to limit bobbing.
Which sizes in this colourway?	M (165 to 177 cm) and L (177 to 188 cm).
Does the purple change colour?	Yes, the flip effect shifts from purple to bluish depending on the light.

The LVR Cycles verdict

The most accessible Fuel+ EX, with the same TQ assist as the carbon models on a strong aluminium frame. The black speckled with colour-shifting purple gives it plenty of character.

Pros
+ Same motor and battery as the carbon version
+ Two-position shock lockout
+ Distinctive flip finish

Cons
- 1.35 kg heavier than the carbon 9.7
- Fairly basic Rhythm fork
