2026 Fuel EX 5 Gen 7 Full Suspension Mountain Bike
-
Adapt, rip, repeat
Only you can define your perfect trail bike — that's why Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with EX, go pop-happy with MX, or charge through it all with LX.
-
Adjustable leverage rate
Want more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.
-
Zero stack integrated headset
With a ZS standard headset, you've got tons of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodized colors.
-
Storage and accessory mounts
Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all Fuel models — both carbon and alloy. Plus, top tube accessory mounts let you load up even more.
-
Fresh frame design
Fuel's new frame gives you tons of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags, and more.
-
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.
-
A better way to produce aluminum
Starting in 2024, we began removing high-emission aluminum from our manufacturing and replacing it with low-emission aluminum made with renewable energy. By October 2025, nearly every alloy bike we make - this one included - had made the switch, driving a major drop in our footprint.
