Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

2026 Trek Fuel EX 8 Mountain Bike in Lithium Grey/Trek Black Splatter

Season:2026

Brand:Trek

Code:56308GRY

The fuel ex 8 is a confident and versatile trail bike built to get after it. It comes ready to rip with an alpha next platinum frame, Fox performance suspension package with 145 mm/150 mm travel (rear, front), alloy bontrager line wheels and a SRAM eagle 70 transmission that keeps shifts smooth, even under load. It's topped off with 4-piston SRAM db 8 hydraulic disc brakes to keep you stopping on a penny.

Adapt, rip, repeat - Only you can define your perfect trail bike that's why fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with ex, go pop-happy with mx or charge through it all with lx.

Adjustable leverage rate - Want more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.

Zero stack integrated headset - With a zs standard headset, you've got loads of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodised colours.

Storage and accessory mounts - Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all fuel models both carbon and alloy. Plus, top tube accessory mounts let you load up even more.

Fresh frame design - The fuel's new frame gives you loads of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags and more.

Active braking pivot - Active braking pivot allows our engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most
