2008 Trek Top Fuel 69er

MSRP:

$2,640
This bike gets double-takes all day. Yes, the front wheel really is larger than the rear wheel. Pioneered by Travis Brown, the “69’er” concept gives you the best of both worlds. The 29’er front wheels has more tread contacting the ground and allows for a shallower approach angle over a given obstacle on the trail. The 26” rear wheel gives a shorter wheelbase for maneuvering in tight singletrack. Add a 90mm Fuel rear suspension, a 100mm Fox fork and SRAM components and you’ve got a very fast bike! The 69’er concept is also found in the 69’er 3x9. This hardtail has Trek’s best Alpha “Red” aluminum frame coupled with a 100mm Fox F29 fork. The 29’er front wheel will keep a better grip on the trail surface, while the smaller 26” rear wheel fits into shorter chain stays for a stiffer rear triangle. With a mix of Shimano Deore LX and XT components, the 69’er 3x9 was built for trails, competition and general off-road fun.
