The EX goes BIG - This is HOT!

Presenting, in the red and black corner, The Brand new Fuel EX 9.8 29, weighing in a fighting fit weight and ready to rumble. 


 Following on from one of our hottest blog posts ever is the first 'landing' from the model year 2014. We think these new 29er Fuel EX (BikeRumor certainly think these bikes will be big) will be the 'go to' mountain bike of the year. If you hurry it should be sitting on the shop floor when you get in to see it!!

"2014 - the year of the Mountain Bike - is coming"

Just when we thought the Fuel EX couldn't get any better!!!

The innovative team at Trek Bicycles, go back to the drawing board, yet again, in search of more improvement, and what better way than to increase the wheel size to a 29er!!
Incorporating all the great features from previous Fuel EX's like:
  • ABP (Active Braking Pivot)- The most active pivot that allows the brakes and rear shock to work with one another with no loss of efficiency or ride quality.
  • DRCV (Dual Rate Control Valve) - The most efficient riding suspension. One shock, Two chambers, No compromise. Great pedalling efficiency, controllable big hits, smooth mid-stroke travel, small bump compliance.
  • E2 Headset - A tapered head tube and fork system that tapers from a 1.5" lower assembly to a 1-1/8" upper to give more material where it matters, giving a stronger / lighter frame with that point and shoot control you've dreamed of.
So now you can get all of this plus a 29er!!!

But why should you buy a Trek 29er?

Put aside the fact that Trek, with the help of mountain bike guru Gary Fisher, started the 29er revolution. It's often said that 29ers have sleepy handing compared to the more commonly found 26" wheel bikes. Trek have spent over a dozen years mastering what "we believe" is the "best in class" handling 29er. Featuring G2 geometry; consisting of a custom offset fork and advance frame geometry for precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. It's why Trek 29ers handle better than any others.

The Trek Superfly!!! Why ride, when you can fly??

Trek Superfly SL Elite Image
In store NOW at M1 Cycles: the all new Trek Superfly Elite SL has just hit the floor!!


The cleanest carbon 29er to be seen yet!! This thing is agile, fast and light; like a 26er, with all the advantages of a fast rolling 29er. Offering a fast, yet comfortable ride is often a hard balance but the guys at Trek have this dialed with the all new 2013 Superfly.
Rubbing out last years design and starting from scratch, they made some significant improvements to the bike, including:

  • Closed Convert Dropouts, 
  • Integrated cable routing,
  • Micro Truss external cable routing, 
  • Balanced post mount brake
These and other features make this bike a lighter, stronger and more comfortable ride than its nearest competitor. Have a look instore today...See for yourself why we believe the Trek 29er's are better than any other.

The 2013 Superfly. 29er at it's best

This is the coolest picture of the 2013 Superfly around...
Added a video.
M1 Cycles had the chance recently to check out the latest 29ers from Trek, up close....
We even rode them at Mt Stromlo on some of the best singletrack in the nation.
Initial thoughts when ridden were:
  • If you're a "29er Doubter" you really need to ride one of these;
  • Pushes hard into corners;
  • You'll find you're pedalling when you'd normally coast;
  • ...makes you want to carry more speed into corners and you'll be finding different lines all over the place;
  • Requires a little more upper body effort in general, but the reward is a ballistic, smooth ride;
  • ...few will go faster than on one of these.
  • I can't believe you can get your hands on a Superfly from $1999

G2 Geometry: low-speed precision plus high-speed stability
