Congrats and welcome back to the trek family! Glad you made the move and looking forward for the upcoming upgrades videos

New bike day !!! Congrats brotha. Hopefully you can ride it soon. The weather where I’m at has been terrible.

Congratz. Gen 6 fuel ex is an amazing bike. I prefer carbon frame, but this one is sick aswell. I might get Ebike version in the future if hopefully prices drop to go along with my 9.8 slash. That frame design is so sexy though. Trek always makes their bike really catchy

[ulrikadrevniok]

Thinking of building up my own custom bike. Can't wait to see what you put on this one!

[Lee-icyn]

Nice man, I remember you werent sure what to do with the slash, seems like a perfect solution!

[joshuaniesen]

Nice man! Thought about getting a fuel ex as my second bike for quick trail rides and for my son to use for riding and doing NICA. Keep riding and have fun!

I just ordered a fuel ex 7 gen 6 in blue and I am so excited because it is my first full suspension

[ilgour]

Cant wait to try my new Gen 6 9.8xt, love the new geometry on this bike. So slack, plenty of travel, steep seat tube. Ride on!

Ahhh I missed this video before commenting on the last one!! L Good on you for switching it up. I'm still enjoying my Slash. Happy for you my man!! Do I see a KTM300 in the future??!! LOL!!

Great to see you back on a Trek.
I'm still having a love affair with my Slash 8 🤣

[MrSupermugen]

put a 160mm Fork(airshaft) straight on it, it lacks Frame stack which is the only thing holding this bike back from IMO being the best bike on the market for how good all-rounder it is.

Sweet! I would love a fuel ex. I currently own a top fuel and that is not enough some times.

[kylelongstaff]

Oh dang. I was torn between the aluminum and carbon EX. I mainly do gravity/freeride so I thought aluminum might be stronger. But I'm glad I went carbon. The Blue is so much better. Your blue looks too blue.. if you know what I mean.

[EverythingisFire]

Ouu. So the Fuel EX 7 will show up without tire tubes & ready to be setup tubeless? I ordered mine from a big sporting goods place (unfortunately. They were $200 cheaper than everyone else) so hopefully they can set me up right.

[trailpimp]

Looks nice. I think SLX looks really nice. It has a nice finish to it.🙏

[djk]

Following your channel did you switch from the Marin 7 to the fuel ex ? I’m looking myself and this one looks good in the same price range as starter bike

[MilitaryVet]

Can’t wait to see the upgrades! Maybe Trail One bars and Stem? 🤔

[andrewpm]

I've actually been looking for that exact blue AL frame! Looking to switch back to an aluminum frame after riding carbon for past 6 years; currently on a carbon Ripmo V1. Did you buy direct or from LBS? I didn't see the blue aluminum frame only online they only had silver/grey. Can't wait to see you upgrade this with more high-end parts.

[EastCoastEDC]

Do you feel the bike is too heavy for just a trail bike?

[CopperCityPatriot]

Is it a...new bike or is it just another temporary test bike? Most YouTube reviews are from so-called "expert, " reviewers. Which makes me very skeptical on the pros & cons.
