You like to do it all. Sometimes you like to speed over the trails like a cross country racer. Other times you like to slow thing downs for an all-day, epic adventure. It's for you that we built the most versatile bike on the trail, the Fuel EX. Combining a light, strong, and elegant Alpha Red Aluminum frame with a race-ready Shimano XT/SRAM X.0 drivetrain and Bontrager Rhythm Elite wheels, the Fuel EX 9 has both the speed details you crave and the durability your trail life demands.
