I’ve got the new trek fuel ex 8 and am planning on switching it to mullet soon. Glad I watched this video because I thought I had to get the different headset cups to make it work but glad it’s easier than that. Just the fork travel change and flip chip

Sorry for being pedantic but the xc full sus for trek is the pro cal

[@BigBearBikes]

Hi, or may be even the Supercaliber? But our point is that if you are a regular 'enduro' rider, may be this bike could be your 'XC' bike. The range of bikes and their abilities has all moved on so far from 'back in the day' and thats without including ebikes. Its a great time to by riding, talking and selling these great bikes! Thanks BBB.
