Why Fuel EX?
The Fuel EX is Trek's most versatile suspension bike. Capable and comfortable across a wide variety of terrain, yet still light and precise, this bike handles everything from steep switchbacks to wide-open descents like second nature.
Is Fuel EX right for you?
Every skill level can benefit from the Fuel EX on anything from beginner to advanced singletrack trails. It takes away the smallest bumps and takes the edge off big hits, yet remains controlled on everything in between.
If you're the type who wants a bike that's equally capable on the climbs as it is on the descents, the Fuel EX is the right bike for you.
Travis Brown on the Fuel EX
"You supply the trail, and the Fuel EX will bring the mountain-climbing, berm-riding, rock garden-navigating, switchbacking, whooping and hollering fun."
— Travis Brown, Olympian, U.S. National Marathon Champion and Trek Product Developer since 1994.
Fuel EX Owners Speak Out
"Astonishingly Fast Trail Bike....This bike is astonishingly fast in nearly all situations. I am not generally a fast climber but this bike virtually carried me uphill. The bike simply did its job without noticeable feedback to the rider. I am super impressed!"
— Jason W from Colorado 9/29/2009
"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."
— Zach from Ohio 9/30/2009
"Great Bike!... I came from a Specialized FSR. This bike absolutely blows it out of the water! Suspension is far superior in every aspect! The front end feels very light, which makes going over large roots and obstacles very easy!"
— McGhoo from Florida 9/17/2009
