Trek Top Fuel 9.7

Top Fuel 9.7 is a quick and nimble full suspension carbon mountain bike that fuses the efficiency of a cross country bike with the capability of a trail bike. It's built with a lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, a 120mm RockShox Reba fork, 115mm of rear travel, and a dropper for serious fun on flowy trails and techy descents alike.
