2023 Trek Fuel EXe Review | The stealthiest e-MTB we've ... -
The 2023 Trek Fuel EX trail bike, redesigned with a sturdy frame, supportive suspension and adjustable geometry, provides an efficient and confident ride, despite being heavier and lacking small-bump suppleness. Its high-quality components, combined with efficient climbing performance, powerful brakes, and a short rear end for playful ride quality, make it a solid, worthwhile investment for aggressive riders.

The 2022 Levo is the best e-MTB we've ever tested -
The Specialized Levo e-MTB, now in its third iteration, delivers significant improvements in adjustable handling, suspension, and motor functionality. It excels in diverse terrains due to its grippy tires, powerful brakes, and agile handling. It outperforms Merida eOne-Sixty and Canyon Spectral:ON with its smoother motor performance and plushier suspension, although it has a higher price point.
