With 150 mm front and 140 mm rear trail-taming suspension, a Shimano 1x12 drivetrain, a dropper post for getting low on descents and hydraulic disc brakes, the Fuel EX 5 hits the mark as a high-value, high-performance mountain bike with exceptional versatility.
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.
A lightweight aluminium frame with progressive trail geometry. A 150 mm RockShox Recon Silver fork with Solo Air spring and motion control damper (140 mm on XS and S), 140 mm of rear travel with an X-Fusion Pro 2 shock, a durable 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, dropper post and hydraulic disc brakes.
You get full suspension performance without the sticker shock. The 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.
- The Fuel EX Gen 6 gives you 140/150 mm 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 tyres will boost traction and help to reduce flat tyres on the ride
