I'm assuming the EX will be the 2016 models ?  Super interested in the new suspension.

Glad to hear folks are coming out.  The bikes are awesome this year and all of the bikes on the Demo Truck are the new models.

@flynbryan19 You definitely need to check out the Top Fule.  I'm seriously considering it this year - i've been a Hardtail guy forever.  I was able to ride one at Trek World and it is super fast.  I put a review up on our (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links).

@Komodragin - we have some great deals on Fuel EX 8 27.5 bikes right now!  Give us a call and we can fill you in.

I could ride it with $6,000 in my pockets, it would probably make up for the weight difference between the alpha platinum aluminum and the full carbon. 

Which is why I want to ride the EX 8 29. 

Question stands.

As a heavy cheapskate I don't bother looking at carbon either, and I wouldn't want to ride the upgraded version of the bike I wanted for obvious reasons.

Definitely interested in the Remedy in 21.5.  I'm looking for greater travel than my Fuel 21.5 26er. Too bad the Slash won't be there.

Unfortunately, we won't have the EX 8 at the demo.  Unless there are some secret bikes on the trailer.

I would recommend coming into the stores to check out the EX 8.  We have several in stock right now - 1 each at Cool Breeze Cyclery and the Trek Bicycle Store of Charlotte - North (Northlake).  (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I know Chris D has the new EX 8 and loves it.  

I'd say come ride the EX that's on the Demo Trailer to see if you like the new geometry and Boost Wheels - I KNOW you will!  Then get yourself the EX 8.

Will we be able to take the demos out on the trail or will we need to keep them in the parking lot/paved areas?  I'm planning on coming to check out the Fuel EX and the Remedy, and I have a friend who wants to check out the Top Fuel and maybe the ProCaliber.

THIS, also how long will we have them for?  Coming from a Remedy Id like to take a fuel out through South Main (30 minutes~).... Also how busy are these demos; are all the bikes typically gone first thing  ?

Can't speak for this demo, but I went to a Trek demo at the WWC last year and we were allowed to take the bikes out for 30 minutes at a time.  I had no trouble finding a bike but I ride XL bikes so not too many people were waiting for those.  I want to try the Remedy and Fuel as well.

Yes, you will be able to take the bikes out on the trails.   

It's hard to say how many folks will attend.  I know our FB post has been seen by over 500 people and the THTB post is well over 300.

We want everyone to get a good feel for the bikes, especially the mtn. bikes.  But like everything else in life, take a look at what's going on and use your best judgement for how long to ride the bikes.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Mike
