Trek mountain bike EX 9.9 review

Sunday, March 1st, 2009 at 11:08 am

After spending hours of riding time on the EX 9.9, we discussed the benefits and the cons of the new bike. On the trails that had lots of roots and rocks, we saw the beauty of the ABP and the shock system. The bike’s back wheel stayed flush to the ground and the suspension left nothing to be desired. It wasn’t even bothered by braking. The EX 9.9 also responded well at snail speeds over the most trying rocks possible and the bike is worth every penny we spent. We attribute its ability to travel the rocks to the excellent front-end frame’s extra stiffness. It was nice to be able to test and to avoid a mutilated face! All in all, the ’09 Fuel EX 9.9 is quite superior to last year’s model. It’s technically more advanced with its superior suspension action, frame feel, and too many other things to mention in this short review, but you won’t be disappointed if you are looking for a bike in this price range and go with this one. I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s one of the best in its class.
