DESCRIPTION
The Trek Fuel EX 5 is an aluminium full-suspension trail bike built for versatility wherever you ride. It pairs a 150 mm RockShox Recon Silver RL fork with an X-Fusion Pro 2 rear shock, and the all-new frame uses interchangeable rocker links and lower shock mounts so you can set it up in three configurations to match your terrain and riding style. A 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, tubeless-ready wheels and a TranzX dropper post round out a capable, adjustable trail bike ready for everything from mellow singletrack to rougher descents.
