Ready to answer the call of the trail? If so, the Fuel EX 6.5 is a great tool for the job. Built around an R1 tuned suspension that combines a custom-tuned rockerlink to keep the suspension active over a variety of terrain, an optimized pivot location to provide all-around pedaling efficiency, and category specific geometry that's trail tuned for a more stable ride at varying speed, the EX 6.5 picks up where other full suspension systems leave off. And outfitted with a sensible blend of Shimano Deore and Bontrager Race componentry, the EX 6.5 is a trail worthy ride that's ready for a full day on the mountain.
