"Full Description:\nFuel EX 5 is a full-suspension trail bike that's ready to handle it all. With trail-taming 140mm front and 130mm rear 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. \n \nIt's right for you if... \nYou'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. \n \nThe tech you get \nA sturdy aluminum frame with a Knock Block steerer stop to protect against spinning bars. A 140mm RockShox Recon Silver fork, 130mm of rear travel with an X-Fusion Pro 2 shock, a durable 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, dropper post, and hydraulic disc brakes. \n \nThe final word \nYou get full suspension performance without the sticker shock. Fuel EX 5 has the same proven frame technology that riders have loved over the years, with parts chosen to keep the price tag low and stoke level high. \n \nWhy you'll love it:\n<ul>\n\t<li>You get a high-end ride at an exceptional value with frame features like Boost148 and ABP that give you confident handling and room to upgrade parts as your skills grow</li>\n\t<li>It has the capability of far more expensive trail bikes: it shreds singletrack and can even handle the occasional XC or enduro race</li>\n\t<li>The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents</li>\n\t<li>The RockShox fork's DebonAir spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring</li>\n\t<li>We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders. And, you get the fastest wheel that fits your frame: XS frames get 27.5˝ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5˝ or 29˝, and sizes M to XL get 29˝ wheels</li>\n</ul>\n \nWill my bike have a curved top tube? \nSmaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. Larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height. \n \n \n \n \n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Straight Shot w/Knock Block - Trek's Straight Shot frame design optimizes the stiffness-to-weight ratio for a more responsive ride. You'll be able to push harder and stay more planted on your line when the going gets rough.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Boost148/110 - Wider dropouts (110mm front, 148mm rear) give you the stiffness of a 27.5" wheel with all the benefits of a 29" wheel, and Boost148 in the rear lets you run wider tires and a larger chainring without affecting q-factor and pedaling efficiency.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Control Freak Cable Management - The lightest, quietest, most versatile cable management system allows any combination of shift, brake, lockout, and dropper post lines to be routed through the frame for clean looks and the ultimate custom setup.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mino Link adjustable geometry - Fine tune head tube angle by 1/2° and BB height by up to 10mm with the simple turn of a nut. Just flip the link to choose between slack or slacker geometry, without negatively affecting suspension performance. A Trek exclusive.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>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.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Alpha Platinum Aluminum - Our premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold axtruded and butted at multiple points, and hydroformed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum strength and minimum weight.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Skewer rear\tBontrager Switch thru axle, removable lever\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Spokes\t14g stainless steel, black\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Handlebar\tBontrager alloy, 31.8mm, 15mm rise, 750mm width\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Grips\tBontrager XR Trail Comp, nylon lock-on\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hub front\tBontrager alloy, 6-bolt, Boost110, 15mm thru axle\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hub rear\tBontrager alloy, sealed bearing, 6-bolt, Shimano MicroSpline freehub, Boost148, 12mm thru axle\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rim\tAlex MD35, tubeless compatible, 32-hole, 35mm width, Presta valve\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shifter\tShimano Deore M6100, 12 speed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rear derailleur\tShimano Deore M6100, long cage\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cassette\tShimano Deore M6100, 10-51, 12 speed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chain\tShimano Deore M6100, 12 speed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stem\tBontrager Rhythm Comp, 31.8mm, 0 degree, 50mm length\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Frame\tAlpha Platinum Aluminum, tapered head tube, Knock Block, Control Freak internal routing, downtube guard, ISCG 05, magnesium rocker link, Mino Link, ABP, Boost148, 130mm travel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fork\tRockShox Recon Silver, Solo Air spring, Motion Control damper, lockout, tapered steerer, 42mm offset, Boost110, Maxle Stealth, 140mm travel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bottom bracket\tShimano MT500, 92mm, PressFit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Max chainring size\t1x: 34T\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Headset\tKnock Block Integrated, 58-degree radius, cartridge bearing, 1-1/8'' top, 1.5'' bottom\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Brake\tShimano hydraulic disc, MT201 lever, MT200 caliper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Brake rotor\tShimano RT56, 6-bolt, 180mm\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
