The Trek Top Fuel was the flagship XCO model of the brand until a few years ago when the Supercaliber was added to their catalog. Since then, the Top Fuel has rarely returned to the XCO World Cup circuits, but in Mont-Sainte-Anne it is back and has already shone brightly.

The 4th generation Trek Top Fuel arrived this year in Trek's catalog with a deep renovation that gave it features compatible with competition XCO. Lighter and stiffer, this version promised to perform well in a World Cup race and it has just proven it.

Riley Amos has just won the Short Track at the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup with this Trek Top Fuel, and he has also been crowned the overall winner. And although this bike can still achieve more victories this weekend, it has already shown that it is capable of performing well in a long trail ride as well as in the most explosive race of the moment.

In theory, it offers 130mm of rear travel and 120mm in the front, and in this case, it features the Rock Shox Flight Attendant electronic suspensions

With a geometry closer to Enduro, the Trek Top Fuel features a frame so light and stiff that it can perform well in XCO or Short Track races

This Trek Top Fuel has a very special setup, especially with the suspensions that seem to have been configured very specifically for this race. But with its victory in a Short Track, the new Top Fuel confirms its ability to perform in the fastest XCO races possible.
