Key features include a lightweight, sturdy full carbon frame, a 130mm FOX Rhythm fork for excellent front suspension, 120 mm of rear travel with a FOX Performance Float shock and a 1x12 Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain.

A highlight of the TREK 2023 Top Fuel 9.7 is undoubtedly the carbon frame which guarantees a lightweight ride that doesn't skimp on responsiveness. The suspension set-up strikes a balance between efficiency and excitement, delivering on Control at every stage of your ride.

The Trail bike also sports a sleek internal storage compartment for carrying tools and gear, and the innovate Knock Block feature, which maximises steering angles while keeping cables and hoses safe.

Bike owners can further look forward to the advantage of Active Braking Pivot which allows engineers to independently manage how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces. This guarantees enhanced control even during the most demanding rides.

This progressive trail geometry makes use of 120mm rear travel to ensure a fast, adept performance, helping you to maintain control even on the rowdiest of trails. Guided internal cable routing makes for smooth, quiet cycling and easier bike maintenance.

Lastly, Shimano XT components lend a performance edge to this mountain bike. As a tried-and-tested system respected by mountain bikers across the globe, Shimano XT excels in providing reliable shifting, superior braking and intuitive maintenance – making the TREK 2023 Top Fuel 9.7 the high-performance workhorse you can depend on.
