These bikes are shipped unassembled. Bikes should be assembled by an authorized bicycle retailer.

Fuel EX 7 is a do-anything trail machine evolved to eat up singletrack. Upgraded 150mm front and 140mm rear suspension smooth out rough and technical descents, while a lightweight aluminum frame keeps things lively on the climbs. New in-frame storage and adjustable geometry give you all the perks that come with the carbon model, without the price tag. Tubeless wheels, and reliable Shimano SLX 1×12 drivetrain round-out this build for ultimate trail fun.

It’s right for you if…

You’re looking for a ride-anything full-suspension with stepped-up components, like a supple RockShox Gold RL fork that gobbles up rock gardens for fun and flowy descents.

The tech you get

A lightweight alloy full-suspension frame with 150mm RockShox Gold RL fork with DebonAir spring for small bump compliance, and a FOX Performance rear shock. Plus, a 1×12 Shimano SLX drivetrain and wide Bontrager wheels with tubeless tires and a dropper post. New adjustable geometry that lets you take control of your setup.

The final word

For the all-mountain rider, Fuel EX 7 takes the cake. Its capable geometry is ready to rally the mountain, and upgraded suspension and drivetrain keep you riding all day.

Why you’ll love it

1. You get all-mountain power with upgraded components that are ready to progress with you on the trail

2. 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

3. The dropper post gets your saddle out of the way when you’re ripping corners and smashing descents.

4. With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations

5. Guided internal routing, universal derailleur hanger, improved hardware, and a threaded BB make maintenance a breeze

Internal Storage

Internal frame storage makes it easy to ditch the pack and still carry your ride essentials.

Active Braking Pivot

Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most.

Slack or steep, the choice is yours

Install angle adjust headset cups (sold separately) to tweak the 64.5-degree head tube angle a degree steeper or slacker to your liking all without impacting your bottom bracket height.

Adjust the sus for full send

Adjust leverage rate with just a flip of a chip. Ride it in the Less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails with square-edge bumps. Flip it to More progressive when you’re hitting big features and dont want to bottom-out, or when you want to run a coil shock.

Size-specific stays

Size-specific chainstays provide balanced handling to keep the ride nimble for smaller riders and improve front wheel traction on climbs for taller riders.

Business in the front, party in the back

Craving the nimble ride of 27.5 wheels but dont want to sacrifice the speed of a 29er? No need to choose. Fuel EX is mullet-ready, just throw Mino Link in high, toss on a 160mm fork, and get ready to party.
