DESCRIPTION
The Fuel EX 8 is a confident and versatile trail bike built to get after it. It comes ready to rip with an Alpha NEXT Platinum frame, Fox performance suspension package with 145 mm/150 mm travel (rear, front), alloy Bontrager Line wheels and a SRAM Eagle 70 transmission that keeps shifts smooth, even under load. It's topped off with 4-piston SRAM DB 8 hydraulic disc brakes to keep you stopping on a penny.
Fuel EX has always been our most versatile full-suspension bike, giving riders an award-winning trail feel wherever they roll. Now, Fuel has been updated with a new frame design that maximizes versatility without any compromises on performance.
With interchangeable rocker links and lower shock mounts, the all-new Fuel transforms into three configurations, adapting to different terrain and riding styles, so you can dial in your customer no matter how they ride or where they roll.
