The Fuel EX 7 is a versatile trail machine with a preference for monumental singletracks. The suspension with 150mm front and 140mm rear travel conquers rough and technical descents, while the lightweight aluminum frame enables agile climbs. With the new integrated storage compartment within the frame and adjustable geometry, you get all the advantages of the carbon models without having to pay the carbon price. The tubeless wheels and reliable Shimano SLX 1x12 drivetrain complete this ultimate trail machine. If you're looking for a versatile full-suspension mountain bike with better components - such as a smooth RockShox Gold RL fork that handles rocky sections with ease and makes flowing descents a true joy. It features a lightweight full-suspension aluminum frame, a RockShox Gold RL fork with 150mm travel and DebonAir spring for added comfort on small bumps, and a FOX Performance rear shock. Additionally, it comes with a Shimano SLX 1x12 drivetrain and wide Bontrager wheels with tubeless tires and a dropper seat post. With the new adjustable geometry, you have full control over your setup. For true all-mountain riders, the Fuel EX 7 is a must-have. Its capable geometry takes the fear out of any mountain, while the optimized suspension and efficient drivetrain make long days in the saddle possible. - You get an all-mountain monster with higher-grade components that grow with your trail skills. - Thanks to our extended size range, all riders benefit from a better fit. Also, each frame size receives the most suitable wheel size: XS frames ride on 27.5" wheels, and S frames can choose between 27.5" or 29" wheels. - The dropper post quickly lowers your saddle in fast corners and intense descents. - With adjustable headset (Angle Set headset cups available separately) and Mino Link, six different geometry configurations are possible. - The guided internal cable routing, universal derailleur hanger, improved hardware, and threaded bottom bracket increase the maintenance ease of this bike. Integrated Storage Compartment With the integrated storage compartment, you can leave your backpack at home without having to give up the essentials for your ride. Active Braking Pivot Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to fine-tune how the suspension responds independently to acceleration and braking forces. This gives you more confidence in critical situations. You decide: shallower or steeper head angle Install angled headset cups (available optionally) to raise or lower the 64.5-degree head angle by one degree without affecting the bottom bracket height. Customize the suspension to your needs Adjust the lever ratio by simply flipping the chips. Ride your bike in the less progressive setting for a smoother feel on rugged trails with harder hits. Switch the flip chip to the more progressive setting when you want to tackle large ramps without fear of bottoming out - or when you want to ride with a coil shock. Size-specific Chainstays Size-specific chainstays ensure balanced handling: high agility for smaller riders, optimal front wheel traction on climbs for taller riders. Stout up front, spry in the back You want to benefit from the agility of 27.5" wheels but not give up the speed of a 29er? With the Fuel EX, you can have both. This bike is ready for a mullet setup (29er front, 27.5" rear) - simply set the Mino Link to the high position, install a 160mm fork, and let the party begin.
