Rear Shock

Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Fuel EX 9.9 29 XTR has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
The Trek model is also equipped with a dropper post. If you are a technical rider, a dropper post is essential. A dropper post provides increased safety while riding. The lever system, allows you to move your saddle up and down, which is very useful on climbs and descends.
