This all-rounder is designed to tackle a vast range of terrain, from flowing forest trails to technical descents, making it your perfect companion for endless off-road exploration.
Optimized Frame for Dynamic Riding:
At the heart of the Fuel EX 5 is a robust Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium frame, built for resilience and agile handling. This advanced frame boasts internal storage in the downtube, allowing you to carry essential tools or snacks without a pack. With adaptable travel from 145 mm to 160 mm and an adjustable leverage rate, you can fine-tune the bike's suspension characteristics to match your riding style or the demands of the trail. Features like guided internal routing and interchangeable components underscore its modern design and ease of maintenance.
Balanced Suspension for Confident Control:
The Fuel EX 5 comes equipped with a capable suspension package to smooth out rough terrain. Up front, a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork offers 150 mm of travel, featuring a Solo Air spring and Motion Control damper for plush, controlled performance. Complementing this is an X-Fusion Pro 2 rear shock, delivering 145 mm of balanced rear travel, ensuring excellent small-bump compliance and reliable big-hit absorption. This harmonious setup keeps your wheels glued to the ground, providing confidence through choppy sections and fast descents.
Reliable Drivetrain & Stopping Power:
Powering your ride is a dependable 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, offering a wide gear range (10-51T cassette) to conquer steep climbs and maintain speed on flats. Shifting is crisp and precise, providing reliable performance when you need it most. For confident stopping, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (MT201 lever, MT200 caliper) with 180 mm rotors deliver consistent and powerful braking performance in all weather conditions. Rounding out the trail-ready package is a TranzX dropper post, allowing for quick, on-the-fly saddle height adjustments crucial for maximizing climbing efficiency and downhill confidence.
