no looks like a fuel exe to me and they even mention it by name in the caption
He's had the bike in that colour since the beginning.

So just an update on the creaking. I tried your suggestion around the cassette etc. It seems to have done the trick. I am running an eagle set up and removed the cassette etc and re-greased. Since then I've ridden for around 6 hours on chunky black diamonds and it's been silent - no more creaking. I am hoping it continues, but for now excellent. So a big thanks mate for your suggestion. For me at least, this did the trick.
Sorry for late reply, just caught this now. I went with 205 x 62.5 stroke for 146mm rear travel. Pretty happy with shock so far that performs much better than the stock Float X that on bike. Topaz offers a bit better compliancy for me and rebound circuitry performs much better. Use full travel on jumpy/flow DH rides, no bottom out or seat tube contact on full compression and haven’t had to add any volume reducers. Pretty cool about Topaz is that can change the positive or negative chambers feel with included spacers if like. I am pretty stoked at 200 lbs with some big senders I haven’t felt need to add any spacers at all with 30% sag.

That’s awesome, glad I could be of help!
Gotta say I am really impressed with how quiet these bikes can be- Once they’re rebuilt!

Yeah 2.5Ah Ego battery, gives about 35% extra battery life. There are more details in the motor manufacturers / motors forum: eXTender Mod for Fuel EXe (Ego battery adapter)

I did a search and didn’t find anything. And, the manual has surprising little info. But, at what battery % do our EXEs go into limp mode? And what power is limp mode? I’m down to 11% for the first time and I don’t want to get stuck at the bottom of some steep hill or far from home. Thanks!

When the battery gets to 10%, motor output is reduced to 110W. That’s from the Trek Fuel EXe FAQ.

Had my Fuel EXe 9.8XT since October last year after waiting a few months for delivery (still awaiting range extender!)
As for many posting here, it came with incorrect spec, but now finally got the XT brakes fitted and opted for Praxis carbon cranks as the e*13 still not available. XT cassettes also still a nightmare to get hold of in UK, so found a great deal on Sram XX1 cassette/chain combo (in gold which really sets off agains the Mulsanne blue) and used Trek credit towards that and paired with a GX AXS derailleur/shifter. Also upgraded air spring to 160 (with a buttercup) in the Lyrik fork, and gone Mx with a matching 27.5" Bontrager Line Elite wheel. Maxxis rubber, Ergon grips & seat to complete the package (as still cheaper then Treks stock 9.8GX AXS )
It was a great bike the day it arrived, but now even better in 160 Mx set-up.

10% it goes into limp mode. Limits to 200W peak if I remember rightly, but it doesn't like to get up to 200w, so 110W from the manual seems right

It's in Wanaka at Glendhu Bay which is 1.5h north of Queenstown, but in the area yeah.

Got it, thank you. One would think that would be in the owners manual somewhere. I just got back from running it down to zero.When the battery gets to 10%, motor output is reduced to 110W. That’s from the Trek Fuel EXe FAQ.

I’m surprised by the power of this bike. I climbed The Black Bitch In Sycamore Canyon in Newbury Park, CA. I was kinda afraid to go down it, because I knew I had to climb back out. It sailed up and I had 2 lower gears to go if I needed it. I’m so happy with this bike. It carries so much speed on the trails, that I have to be careful not to get to deep into a corner. But, it literally feels like an analog bike, it’s so responsive.

First time I have nearly run dry. Pre-ride at 100% battery estimated miles was 42 but given the amount of climbing I did I am happy with that distance. I was in Eco 99.5% of the time with 3 very quick bursts at Mid to get up some steeper sections.

Impressive total elevation. My best is just over 4000 ft on Eco with about the same miles.

Imagine how much higher and further with the screen protector removed.

Yeah nice, that’s impressive! Stock tires? May we ask your weight?
I have a route planned that’s over 4000’ and I’ve been thinking of re-tuning the motor specifically for it, so that all 3 modes would be in the eco/trail range.

I fitted Maxxis DHF & Dissector. I weigh 75kg.
With those low settings my battery would run out before the Trek’s battery

@njatherton just a stupid question: if the battery has 360 Wh and you used your bike for little less than 3 hours with 50 W average motor power, why is the battery empty? should you not have used only 150 Whs (50w x 3 h)?
Can anybody help me?
