Trek Fuel EX 2013 – introduction

Versatility, lightness, pedalabilità excellent performance and superb downhill are the characteristics that Pull develops over many years dedicated to mountain biking trailriding. In this category are placed those mtb, thanks to their easy handling, allow you to move in an agile and fast on narrow and winding singletrack. Most of these single trail are completely natural and it is not difficult to find themselves in situations very similar to that BikeTrial then flow into the pure Allmountain.

Pull presents for 2013 three different models and designed completely dedicated to this discipline: the Fuel EX, the Rumblefish and Stache. Today we introduce the Fuel EX 2012.

One hundred and thirty millimeters of rear travel and a design specifically designed for versatility. The pedalabilità a bike cross country and the pleasure will be like with an all-mountain. The top model, for next season, is the 9.9. Intermente made from carbon fiber technology OCLV, This model was made with the highest technology at home Pull. Among the features are the’ABP Convert, headset conificata E2, attachment for the chain guide ISCG 05 integrated, EVO Link magnesium and ipercollaudato Full Floater System.

Seven models in the catalog. They range from 9.9 until the EX 5, differentiated for mounting. On 9.9 are: fork Fox Float 32 DRCV/CTD Kashima Coated tuned by Trek 130mm and ironing 15QR, shock absorber Fox Float DRCV/CTD Kashima Coated, transmission SRAM X0, wheels DT Swiss XM 1550 Tricon, components Bontranger and brakes Avid Custom X0 Trail.

 

There are many technologies that the American brand with sports Fuel EX 9.9 2013, starting from the carbon frame. OCLV Mountain Carbon has been developed over the years by a team of engineers and designers of the carbon-class, using sophisticated tools and software and more in-depth knowledge on the carbon fiber industry, determine the type of carbon to be used, stratificarlo and how to shape it, if you reinforce it and how to ensure certain performance characteristics. Carbon-resistant for the real world for that parts of the frame more susceptible to stress are reinforced while keeping to the lightness.

Another gem that is located on the Fuel and that for years has been refined and perfected is’EVO Link. This evolution from the classical connection plate and bolts, used on most bikes with suspension, in a one-piece rocker. Gaining weight, the link provides a more robust connection point between the front and rear triangles, obtaining a more rigid frame for greater control.

Even aluminum frames of the other versions of Fuel are the result of a mix of technologies. In frames constructed Alpha Platinum is used in much of the hydroforming in order to create more complex industrial design for maximum lightness and for the sake of performance.

In addition to promoting the ultimate in control and make sure that the bike is able to absorb all the bumps without going into crisis, Pull has developed the DRCV. The majority of bicycles with air shocks front and rear have an air tank of small size. A shock absorber is small and efficient, because it rises and falls over while pedaling, but what happens in case of large shocks? Technology DRCV adjust automatically the volume of air based on the intensity of the blow received. For you this means soft feel on small ups and downs. continuous monitoring of the impacts of medium intensity and blows, with a lower stiffening of the rear wheel. In the case of small dips and ups and downs, the system DRCV is flexible and controlled like any other rear shocks Rp2 the RP23.

 

In short, the Fuel EX 2013 is a mix of solutions used to solve problems and increase the performance of modern trailbike. Last year the Fuel was voted bike of the year for their outstanding performances, the model 2013 certainly saw a sharpening of the features that distinguished the previous season. He has not yet been informed of the price range for next season. More information on the site trekbikes.com
