The Fuel EX 7 is an all-around trail machine with a preference for monumental singletracks. The 150mm front and 140mm rear travel suspension tames rough and technical descents, while the lightweight aluminum frame enables nimble climbs. With the new, frame-integrated storage compartment and adjustable geometry, you get all the benefits of the carbon models without having to pay the carbon price. Tubeless wheels and the 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 effortlessly and makes flowing descents a true pleasure. 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. It also 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, there's really no way around the Fuel EX 7. 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 quality components that grow with your trail skills. - Thanks to our extended size range, all riders benefit from a better fit. In addition, each frame size gets the most suitable wheel size: XS frames roll on 27.5" wheels, while size S frames can choose between 27.5" or 29" wheels. - The dropper post lowers your saddle in fast corners and rowdy descents in seconds. - With adjustable headset (Angle Set headset cups are available separately) and Mino Link, six different geometry configurations are possible. - The internal cable routing, universal derailleur hanger, improved hardware, and threaded bottom bracket increase the maintenance-friendliness of this bike. Integrated Storage Compartment With the integrated storage compartment, you can leave your backpack at home without having to forego 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: steep or slack head angle Install angled headset cups (available separately) to raise or lower the 64.5-degree head angle by one degree without affecting the bottom bracket height. Tailor 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. Move the flip chip to the more progressive setting when you want to tackle big jumps without fear of bottoming out – or if you want to ride a coil shock. Size-specific chainstays Size-specific chainstays ensure balanced handling: high agility for smaller riders, optimal front-wheel traction on climbs for larger riders. Stout up front, spry out 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, install a 160mm fork, and let the party begin.
