Have an opportunity to buy a new 2018 but don’t know anyone personally with Trek mtb experience. Looking for one all around bike that climbs well. Still like to have fun on descents but at 57, not riding that aggressively anymore.
I own a trek fuel EX 9.8 and and let me tell you with all honesty, you will not go wrong. The only thing i recommend is to change the fork travel to 140 so you'll have more control on descents
