Fuel EX 5 is the aluminum trail MTB designed for those who want one bike that can really do it all: from Sunday rides to the most demanding technical descents. A robust, responsive frame, modern geometry and reliable components make it the ideal companion on any trail.

Up front you get a RockShox Recon Silver fork that confidently absorbs roots and rocks, while the X-Fusion Pro 2 rear shock keeps the wheel glued to the ground, ensuring control and traction. The tubeless-ready wheels let you ride at lower pressures, reducing the risk of punctures and increasing grip on the more technical sections.

The Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain offers a wide gear range so you can tackle both the steepest climbs and long descents without fear, while the TranzX dropper seatpost lets you lower the saddle on the fly to safely take on every steep section.

Thanks to the three platform configurations – EX versatile, MX playful and agile, LX aggressive and stable – Fuel EX 5 adapts to your riding style and terrain. A complete trail bike, ready to follow you anywhere, always at maximum fun.
