Introduced in 2009, this second-generation Top Fuel is radical to look at. Trek’s OCLV process is put to good use to create a frame weighing just 2027g (4.47lb).

Weight has been saved across the frame by using carbon manufacturing processes seen on its road cousin the Madone, with net-moulded headtube and 90mm wide bottom bracket doing away with the usual aluminium inserts seen on carbon frames.

The back-end features all of the current Trek gizmos; ABP dropout, Full Floater design, one-piece magnesium EVO link, oversized bearings, replaceable derailleur hanger and a Fox RP23 shock driven from both ends. Travel is bang on 100mm and is paired with a Fox 32 fork up front.
