New Trek Fuel Exe 9.8 XT in the garage

[CodyDog]

Been riding gravel with my Specialized Vado 5.0 SL the past two years and decided to get back to Mountain Biking as well. Pick up a Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 XT this weekend which is Trek's SL version of the mountain bike. Weighs in at 39.5 lbs and the TQ-HPR50 motor puts out 50 nm. Carbon frame, wheels, crank and bar with 140/150 travel. Went on the maiden voyage today and was very pleased with how the bike handle both up and down.

Stefan: I was surprised how quite it was. I was not able to hear it on my first ride in all 3 power modes. I'll keep you posted to see if things change.
