Overview
About this bike
Fuel EX 5 is a full-suspension trail bike that's ready to handle it all. With 150mm front and 140mm rear trail-taming suspension, a Shimano 1x12 drivetrain, a dropper post for getting low on descents, and hydraulic disc brakes, Fuel EX 5 hits the mark as a high-value, high-performance mountain bike with exceptional versatility. It's right for you if... You're ready to go full suspension, and you want a versatile trail bike at a great value. You want a ride that's sure-footed, capable, and responsive so you can stay in control no matter where you're riding. The tech you get A lightweight aluminum frame with progressive trail geometry. A 150mm RockShox Recon Silver fork with Solo Air spring and motion control damper (140mm on XS and S), 140mm of rear travel with an X-Fusion Pro 2 shock, a durable 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, dropper post, and hydraulic disc brakes. The final word You get full suspension performance without the sticker shock. Fuel EX 5 has the same frame tech and features as its pricier partners, with parts chosen to keep the price tag low and stoke level high. Why you'll love it - Fuel EX Gen 6 gives you 140/150mm of travel and slack, adjustable geometry for an extra capable ride, plus, in-frame storage on all models — even alloy - We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5" wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5" or 29", and sizes M and up get 29" wheels - The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents - The RockShox fork's Solo Air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring - Its tubeless-ready wheels and tires will boost traction and help to reduce flat tires on the ride
