Discover the thrill of trail riding with the versatile 2021 Fuel EX 5 full suspension trail bike by TREK. Backed by a plush 140mm front and 130mm rear suspension, this bike can tame any terrain. The 1x12 Shimano drivetrain allows for smooth gear shifts, and the hydraulic disc brakes provide superior stopping power. As a bonus, the dropper post lets you adjust saddle height on-the-go, perfect for handling steep descents.
Built for riders ready to experience the world of full suspension, the Fuel EX 5 offers a sturdy aluminium frame and an innovative Knock Block steerer stop that defends against spinning bars. Known for its incredible versatility, this trail bike gives you uncompromised control whether you're tackling steep climbs or fast descents.
The Fuel EX 5 is equipped with high-quality components including 140 mm RockShox Recon Silver fork, 130 mm X-Fusion Pro 2 shock at the rear, robust 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, and dependable hydraulic disc brakes. This ensemble delivers trail-busting performance without breaking the bank.
For the rider keen on enhancing their skills, the Fuel EX 5 offers room for upgrades while Boost148 and ABP frame features encourage confident handling. Remarkably, the versatility of this trail bike oozes capability far beyond its price point. From shredding singletrack to the occasional XC or enduro race, this bike delivers.
The RockShox fork's DebonAir spring can be customised to suit specific rider weights, making this bike even lighter. Trek's commitment to a perfect fit is seen in the expanded size range to accommodate riders of all heights. Moreover, smaller frames (XS and S) vary by design to offer easier straddling for shorter riders.
The Fuel EX 5 features TREK's innovative active braking pivot (ABP) which ensures confident control by allowing suspension to react independently to acceleration and braking forces. The Straight Shot frame optimises stiffness-to-weight ratio for a responsive ride, and Shimano Deore components boost your trail-riding confidence with improved chain stability and precise shifting.
Please note, this bike does not come with pedals. Choose the best ones for your riding style and experience a ride designed just for you. This is just the bike for those dreaming of full suspension performance, so get your Fuel EX 5 and hit the trails with flair!
