More control, times two
The legendary control of our patent-pending DRCV shock technology is now featured in Fox forks. With DRCV fork and shock, you get perfect balance and ultimate control.

Spirited legacy
Fuel EX has won the hearts of the media for years. Its history speaks for itself: "Bike of the Year." "5 out of 5." "The best trail bike we've ever ridden."
It is truly the most capable all-around bike that I have ever experienced. It's as good in the six day stage race as it is cleaning that rocky section of trail that makes you sweat just looking at it.

What Mountain Bike
declares Fuel EX Bike of the Year
The Ultimate Trail Burner… With the new DRCV on the rear shock, the pedaling is even more efficient on this bike while retaining a smooth, bottomless feel. The part spec is awesome and looks the part. Add all this together with the world's best carbon, and you have the ultimate trail bike.
