   Can someone please describe the difference(s) between a Fuel EX8 and a comparable Trek Remedy. I am not clear how one chooses between these two bike models – with regards to their favored terrain and/or anticipated use.

   To this point, on a flat hard pack surface, all things being equal (same rider and same conditions), which bike is faster?

   Thanks!!!

   I hope I’m charging as hard as you at “almost 52″. Props!

   ola en este vídeo nos hablas de la bici pero las bajadas son fáciles y no tienes algo mas de enduro para ver mejor el comportamiento de la bicicleta sobre terrenos mas complicados ya teniendo en cuenta que no es una bicicleta de descenso pero algo intermedio gracias y un saludo desde Galicia

   Thanks Sparx, appreciate your feedback and we do take the reviews seriously. Wait until we unleash the 2013 Remedy and Slash review, we have put these bikes through some serious action in very unforgiving terrain, stay tuned for later in January….awesome!

   for people wondering about the difference between the Remedy and Fuel Ex, i have been riding a Fuel Ex 5 for 3 years and it has performed wonderfully on most all terrain. A high end Fuel Ex is similar to the Remedy but a little less beefy. A Fuel Ex would handle this trail just fine but probably couldnt be pushed as hard as the Remedy. If you are a more aggressive rider who wants to push the limits get a Remedy. if you are a little less so go for a Fuel

   Thank you so much Nigel for giving us a proper review on a very proper trail where the Remedy seems to be right at home. You are riding this bike like it should be ridden on a very appropriate trail. Ive seen too many videos of people riding bikes like the Remedy on flat featureless terrain and expect to give a solid review. THANKS BUDDY GO TREK

   How would the Top Fuel respond on this exact same ride? What compromises and/or limitations would be inherent with the Top Fuel on this exact same ride? Would the Top Fuel be a better choice than the Remedy if flat trail surfaces were more commonly encountered in my rides? Thanks!

    such an awesome bike, only bad thing is the horribly long stem.

    Nice review and all true, two extras:
    – I think Trek should have specced a slippery pole on it. With a Fox doss [like mine] or similar it really helps the flow that this bike is capable of.
    - the front end isn’t as stiff as my ’08 was with a Lyric. Buy a ’36 or Slash for the BIG days.

    Fuel is a high end x country bike, whereas the Remedy excels in the style of terrain and riding in this video.

    How does one choose between the top model REMEDY and the top model TOP FUEL? If some of you could define the terrain and specified use for each design, that would be most appreciated.

    I find that hard to believe as I had the 2011 model (without front fork DRCV) and the current 2012 model (with), it is a lot smoother and you can hit things harder and with more speed. I can only state from my insight and my mates who have, we are all impressed. I have ridden it at 2 All Mountain races and he hasn’t kept me off the podium.
    I am almost 52 and I need all the help I can get and this shock system keeps me tracking smoothly.
    I would suggest a Trek Demo session and see for yourself.

    Thanks, agree there is nothing better.

    I’ve not heard many good reviews from actual owners of the DRCV suspension. I was very interested in purchasing this bike, but due to many owners’ reviews about DRCV I think I’ll stay away from Trek for the time being. Lots of not so candid reviews on mtbr.com forums.
    I used to own a 2008 Fuel EX 8 bike, which was an awesome bike, but looks like this new suspension isn’t well accepted by many new owners.

    Nice video though.

    Nigel. Great Vid! I lived in Sydney about three years ago and riding Manly Dam really got me back into MTB. Not quite to the extent of 4ft drops but getting there.

    I got a bit misty eyed watching. Its a great fun course with so much variation mud, sand, rock, climbs, descents I would give my eye teeth for a rip round again in the sunshine with a few buddies.

    Keep up the good work!
