The Fuel EX 7 is an all-around trail machine with a preference for monumental singletracks. The suspension with 150 mm front and 140 mm rear travel tames rough and technical descents, while the lightweight aluminum frame enables agile ascents. With the new integrated storage compartment in the frame and adjustable geometry, you can enjoy all the benefits 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 easily handles rocky sections and makes flowy descents a true pleasure. A lightweight full-suspension aluminum frame, a RockShox Gold RL fork with 150 mm travel and DebonAir spring for more comfort on small bumps, and a FOX Performance rear shock.

Its high-performance 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-end components that grow with your trail skills. - Thanks to our expanded size range, all riders benefit from a better fit. Additionally, each frame size gets the most appropriate wheel size: XS frames roll on 27.5" wheels, while size S frames can choose between 27.5" or 29" wheels. - The dropper post quickly lowers your saddle in fast corners and rowdy descents. - Thanks to the customizable headset (AngleSet headset cups are sold 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-friendliness of this bike. Integrated Storage Compartment With an integrated storage compartment, you can leave the backpack at home without having to forgo the essentials for your ride. Active Braking Pivot Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to fine-tune how the suspension reacts independently to acceleration and braking forces. This gives you more confidence in critical situations. You decide: slack or steep head angle Install angled headset cups (available separately) to raise or lower the 64.5-degree head angle by one degree without affecting bottom bracket height. Adjust the suspension to your needs Adjust the leverage ratio by simply flipping the flip chips. Ride your bike in the less progressive setting for a smoother feel on rough trails with harder hits. Switch the flip chip to the more progressive setting if you want to ride big jumps without fear of bottoming out – or if you want to use 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. Stately up front, lively in the back Want to benefit from the agility of 27.5" wheels but don't want to sacrifice 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) – just set the Mino Link to the high position, mount a 160mm fork, and let the party begin.
