Trek Fuel EX 5 Gen 6 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2024
The Fuel EX 5 is a full-suspension trail bike that's ready to handle it all. With 150 mm front and 140 mm rear trail-taming suspension, a Shimano 1x12 drivetrain, a dropper post for getting low on descents and hydraulic disc brakes, the Fuel EX 5 hits the mark as a high-value, high-performance mountain bike with exceptional versatility.
It's right for you if...
You're ready to go full suspension, and you want a versatile trail bike at a great value. You want a ride that's sure-footed, capable and responsive, so you can stay in control no matter where you're riding.
The tech you get
A lightweight aluminium frame with progressive trail geometry. A 150 mm RockShox Recon Silver fork with Solo Air spring and motion control damper (140 mm on XS and S), 140 mm of rear travel with an X-Fusion Pro 2 shock, a durable 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, dropper post and hydraulic disc brakes.
Why you'll love it
- The Fuel EX Gen 6 gives you 140/150 mm of travel and slack, adjustable geometry for an extra capable ride, plus, in-frame storage on all models – even alloy
- 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
- The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents
- The RockShox fork's Solo Air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring
- Its tubeless-ready wheels and tyres will boost traction and help to reduce flat tyres on the ride
The final word
You get full suspension performance without the sticker shock. The Fuel EX 5 has the same frame tech and features as its pricier partners, with parts chosen to keep the price tag low and stoke level high.
