It's right for you if...
Performance matters to you, but so does the price tag. You want all of the tech you'll find in the top-of-the-line Fuel EXe, but in a bike that's built for your budget. You want upgraded components you can trust to keep ripping, and a robust alloy frame that rallies through the rough and gives you just enough power on the ups.
The tech you get
An Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame with TQ's HPR50 harmonic pin ring drive system, a fully-encased 360Wh removable battery, and smart charging port. An integrated LED display and handlebar remote that are easy to use on the fly. 150mm FOX Rhythm 36 front suspension with Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper, and 140mm FOX Performance Float X rear suspension. Plus, wide, Tubeless Ready Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels, SRAM's wireless 12-speed GX AXS transmission, hydraulic disc brakes, and a dropper post.
The final word
If you want all the tech of the top-tier Fuel EXe without the sticker shock, Fuel EXe 8 is for you. You get the same drive system, display, and geometry of its carbon counterpart, plus an upgraded suspension package and wireless shifting— on a more economical alloy chassis.
