Overview

It's right for you if...

You're looking for a ride-anything full-suspension with stepped-up components, like a supple RockShox Gold RL fork that gobbles up rock gardens for fun and flowy descents.

The tech you get

A lightweight alloy full-suspension frame with 150mm RockShox Gold RL fork with DebonAir spring for small bump compliance, and a FOX Performance rear shock. Plus, a 1x12 Shimano SLX drivetrain and wide Bontrager wheels with tubeless tires and a dropper post. New adjustable geometry that lets you take control of your setup.

The final word

For the all-mountain rider, Fuel EX 7 takes the cake. Its capable geometry is ready to rally the mountain, and upgraded suspension and drivetrain keep you riding all day.

The Walkthrough

favorite_borderWhy you'll love it

  1. You get all-mountain power with upgraded components that are ready to progress with you on the trail
  2. We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5˝ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5˝ or 29˝, and sizes M and up get 29˝ wheels
  3. The dropper post gets your saddle out of the way when you're ripping corners and smashing descents.
  4. With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
  5. Guided internal routing, universal derailleur hanger, improved hardware, and a threaded BB make maintenance a breeze

"This is a bike that could be used to head out for a big meandering backcountry adventure one day, roll up to the starting line in a local enduro race the next, or even head into the bike park for a lap or three without missing a beat."

"Fuel EX is a masterpiece"

"Fuel EX absolutely devours chunky terrain while still retaining the ability to tractor up steep climbs. I have become convinced that a bike with long, stable geometry and mid-level travel really can provide the best of both worlds."
