The LVR workshop view

Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium, Trek's know-how. Trek grades its Alpha aluminiums, and NEXT Platinum is the most advanced, above Platinum and Silver. On the Fuel+ EX 8, it allows the suspension kinematics and adjustments of the carbon frame (adjustable progression, interchangeable shock mount) to be carried over for a more modest budget, with the same removable TQ battery.

	Aluminium Fuel+ EX 8	Carbon Fuel+ EX (9.7 to 9.9)	Fuel EXe (previous generation)
Level	The highest Alpha grade	Trek off-road carbon	Previous TQ generation
Construction	Hydroformed tubes, variable wall thickness	Impact-resistant OCLV Mountain	50 Nm TQ HPR50, 360 Wh
Reference bike	Fuel+ EX 8: 21.68 kg (M)	Fuel+ EX 9.7: 20.68 kg (M)	Fuel EXe 9.7: 19.33 kg (M)
What it means	Same motor and battery as the carbon version	A kilo lighter	Lighter, gentler assist

Put simply: the motor, battery and travel are those of the carbon Fuel+ EX models; the aluminium frame adds a kilo (21.68 kg in M versus 20.68 kg for the 9.7). The rest of the spec, Eagle 70 and DB 8, is chosen to last.

In size S, the 27.5-inch rear wheel with a 2.60 tyre leaves room to shift your hips back and makes the bike livelier; from M to XL, both wheels are 29-inch for better rollover. The Bontrager dropper post also grows with the frame, from 150 to 200 mm.

The TQ HPR60 motor delivers 60 Nm of torque, a figure designed to back up your pedalling rather than overpower it; it suits long climbs on the forest tracks of the Montagne Noire. Power stays capped at 250 W nominal, with assist cutting out 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	21.68 kg
Fuel+ EX 9.7 Eagle 70	OCLV Mountain carbon	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	150 mm front	20.68 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: at 21.68 kg in M, the Fuel+ EX 8 is a kilo heavier than the carbon 9.7 (20.68 kg). The Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2 (19.79 kg) steps up to 150 / 160 mm and targets a more aggressive riding style.

Your questions

Which size for 1.80 m?	The L covers 177 to 188 cm; we confirm it based on your inside leg.
Why a 27.5 wheel in size S?	To give smaller riders more room and make the bike easier to handle.
Is the motor the same as on the 9.9?	Yes, every Fuel+ EX uses the TQ HPR60 motor and the 580 Wh battery.
Is the bronze warm or cool?	Warm: a mushroom brown that picks up coppery glints in the sun.

The LVR Cycles verdict

The aluminium Fuel+ EX with the widest size range, with an Assegai tyre for extra grip. Its mushroom brown with bronze highlights makes a welcome change from the usual colours.

Pros
+ Sizes S to XL
+ Assegai MaxxGrip tyre
+ Warm bronze finish

Cons
- A kilo heavier than the carbon 9.7
- DB 8 brakes without advanced adjustment
