Fuel 80 components
Fork
The Fuel 80 comes factory-installed with the RockShox fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Fuel 80 bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Fuel 80 is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
There are 4 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 153 cm – 196 cm (5.02 ft – 6.43 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
