I've moving from road to mtb as my back can't handle the stretched position on my road bike anymore.

Sat on a few mtb's and the more upright position is just what I need. I plan to do general trail riding, visits to some of the man made centres etc, but would also like to do the odd race / sportive event

I've been looking at the Trek Fuel EX8 which seems to fit the bill. Haven't been able to look at the top fuel, am I right in thinking that that has a more racey geometry ? I don't want to be too streteched out again.

Any other recommendation appreciated, must been FS, won't be doing anything wild so don't need masses of travel,.
