New Year. New Fuel.

I was unable to resist the semi-custom purple paint option on the 2019 Trek Fuel EX 9.8. It has been a long time since I bought a new mountain bike and the number of good bikes on the market has exploded since then. In selecting the Fuel-EX, I was significantly influenced by VeloNews' very positive review of the similar Fuel-EX 9.9. https://www.velonews.com/bike-reviews/trek-fuel-ex-9-9
