We’re getting ready for our annual fall trip to Utah and Colorado and are excited to take two new Trek Fuel EXe “Special Edition” bikes this time.
my “EXe 9.7 Colorado”
mrs levity’s “EXe 9.7 Utah”
They should each be fine for you. Get whichever model you can find locally if you want one now or sooner than later. This afternoon I picked up what I believe was the only Large 9.7 in California. Could not find any Large 9.5 or 9.8 models. Good luck and have fun! 👍
@Dave_B - have you had enough seat time on the EXe to compare its power to the Levo SL?
There are times on the SL where a bit more torque would be appreciated, especially at low rpm.
I'd expect more boost from the EXe since it's listed as 50Nm vs. 35Nm for the SL, a 42% increase.

Mrs levity and I both have Levo SL trail bikes and had Creo Comp Carbon road bikes for about a year and a half. The Creos were great fun, fast and efficient on the road and fun on dirt/gravel roads and easy XC trails. Early this year we...
Returning to California from Utah’s Canyonands/Moab area last week mrs levity and I visited Capitol Reef Natl Park. There aren’t any singletrack mtb trails but there are scenic dirt roads, hiking trails, and geological features. The Park “reef” follows a monocline where tectonic plates uplifted...
Being the other side of the pond I had to resort to Google Translate for that.
I was initially concerned that you had some form of gastrointestinal distress.
A few pics from Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah -
A view back toward the basin. You can zoom to see some of the trails and spires (sedimentary towers). Our camp is just behind the red ridge in the distance.

Welcome @Greg1657 !
@Hobo Mikey is right of course. But if you haven't done so yet, try setting the Peak Power to 100% at each Assist Level in Mission Control. That way the motor will continue to increase output as you pedal harder rather than leveling off at lower assist levels. The SL motor...
