Fuel EX is a full suspension bike that’s made to hit every trail, every day. From epic long-distance rides to rowdy local trails after work, Fuel EX’s balanced geometry and sweet-spot suspension setup give you nerve for descents and heart for climbs. We don’t think you should have to choose just one mountain bike.

Fuel EX 9.8 combines a light full-carbon frame with parts chosen for the highest performance-to-price ratio. High-end FOX suspension with upgraded front and rear dampers, carbon wheels with a Rapid Drive rear hub, and SRAM’s latest, widest-range drivetrain give this model an extra edge you’ll notice from the first pedal stroke.

The Fuel EX is the perfect trail bike for South Florida, but it’s also a great option for out of the area trail adventures. The Fuel EX will handle it all. With 140mm front travel, there is no obstacle too high, sketchy, or steep that this bike can’t handle in South Florida. The dropper seat post gives you the flexibility to put your body where you need it for steep drops. The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give you stopping power when you need it most. It’ll be your daily ride at Club Scrub in Jonathan Dickinson State Park all week long. Then, it’ll be your weekender up at Santos in Ocala. Finally, when you go big mountain up north or out west on your summer vacation, don’t leave your Fuel EX at home.
