Hesitation between Trek Fuel ex 6.5 or Scott Spark 50

madmax36

What do you think of these bikes ? I can get them for about the same price. I heard that the frame of the Fuel EX 6.5 is an old design with is replaced on 7/8/9 is the new design really better ?

Thank you !

Is it a 2009 Trek? If so then it is an old desighn without the Evo link or ABP and you'd be better off going for a 2010 model, or even a Giant Trance X 3/4.

Yes it's the 2009

The 09 has the Evo link. A.B.P is as standard on the EX6 for 2010. Much better rear susp set up.

I have a 6.5 2009 and love it. Have not tried the new frame but cant fault the old one.
