Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS Mulsanne Blue

You want a lively trail bike that feels like a traditional mountain bike in quick, techy terrain, but gives you a little boost in pedal power on the way back up. You want space-age technology everywhere from motor to drivetrain, and upgraded suspension that keeps you floating on the trail. You don't want to lose out on the natural experience of mountain biking, and want a refined motor that quietly assists while you ride.

Why you'll love it

1. You get a bike that rides like your favorite trail bike on descents and gives you adaptive assist on the climbs that doesn't make you feel like a cheater
2. Its tiny but mighty TQ transmission is tuned for the trail, keeping things quiet so you can stay in the moment, plus it ramps up power with you for a natural ride feel
3. The smart charge port, sleek integrated display, and discreet controls keep the bike looking and feeling like a traditional mountain bike
4. It keeps your ride silky smooth even when the trail gets rowdy thanks to the upgraded RockShox suspension package that offers 150mm of front and 140mm of rear travel
5. You'll be able to add on a range extender when you want a little extra fuel in the tank for big days on the bike
