Trek mountain bike EX 9.9 – How good it is?

Because the Fuel EX 9.9 has a stiffer frame than models of previous years, it does better in many categories. It climbs hills better, is more maneuverable in difficult switchbacks. Just 24 pounds and superior frame stiffness, the bike is easy to ride rigorously uphill. In places like flatter trails where rocks, branches and other debris limit speed primarily, the EX 9.9 performs without packing up or becoming harsh.

In our initial trials with the EX 9.9 we chose trails that had many, many roots and rocks. Doing so gave us a chance to check out the shock and ABP. We were pleases. The EX 9.9′s rear wheel stayed to the ground and the suspension didn’t exhibit any mid stroke deadness, nor was it held back by the breaking. Even at the slowest speeds over extremely rocky terrain, the EX also responded well because of its front end-frame stiffness. It took the worry out of planting my face in the rocks.

All in all, the EX 9.9 is a better quality bike that last year’s model. From frame feel to suspension to technical action, it is truly a fine bike. It is certainly one of the best bikes like it.
