The updated geometry is longer and slacker making it more stable and faster on the descents.
The Fuel EX can hit steep descents and long climbs so it's perfect for the rider who wants to do it all.
The rear suspension has now moved to fixed lower shock mount which means its stronger and more efficient.
Fuel EX 7 shines when you're charging down tricky descents, where the dropper post, upgraded 140mm RockShox 35 Gold fork and 130mm of rear travel come in handy. A lightweight aluminium frame, Tubeless Ready wheels and a reliable 1x12 SRAM NX Eagle drive train make this an amazing all-around full suspension mountain bike.
It's right for you if...
You want one high-performance bike that excels on every trail, and you want it at great value. You expect your bike to handle a variety of challenges, including rocky descents, long climbs, fast corners and gaps.
The tech you get

Plus, Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels and a dropper post.
