The Fuel EX 5 is your entry point into the world of full-suspension trail bikes. Front and rear suspension for taming the trail, a Shimano 1x12 drivetrain, a dropper seatpost for improved attack position on descents, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes make the Fuel EX 5 an excellent value, high-performance, and exceptionally versatile mountain bike.
This is suitable for you if...
You're ready to upgrade to full suspension and are looking for a versatile trail bike that offers excellent value. You want a confident, capable, and responsive bike so you never lose control, wherever you ride.
Technologies offered
A lightweight aluminum frame with a Straight Shot downtube for added stiffness on rough sections and a Knock Block head tube stop to protect the frame from handlebar impacts. A 140mm RockShox Recon RL fork, 130mm of rear travel with an X-Fusion Pro 2 shock, a durable 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, a dropper seatpost, and hydraulic disc brakes.
The last word
You get the performance of a full-suspension bike without the hefty price tag. The Fuel EX 5 incorporates the same frame technologies as the higher-end Fuel EX models, using aluminum alloy, and features carefully selected components to keep the price reasonable without compromising the riding experience.
Why you'll love it
- You get a top-of-the-range bike at an excellent price/performance ratio, with a frame that has features like Boost148 and ABP for confidence in control and the ability to buy superior components as your technique improves.
- It displays the capabilities of much more expensive trail bikes: it speeds along singletracks and can even occasionally take part in cross-country or enduro races.
- Thanks to the telescopic seat post, you can lower the saddle on the fly so that you can easily adopt your attacking position on descents.
- The RockShox DebonAir fork is characterized by its easy adjustability to suit the rider's weight. And it's lighter than a coil spring suspension.
- We've expanded the size range to ensure a better fit for all riders. And you get the fastest wheels suited to your frame: XS frames come with 27.5-inch wheels, S frames are available with 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheels, and sizes M to XL come with 29-inch wheels.
