The Fuel EX 8 is a dialled trail bike for riders who chase down rowdy
descents and want a bike that's happy to pedal back to the top and do it
again. It has a stout alloy frame and an upgraded Shimano XT drivetrain
for smooth precise shifting. The 150 mm Fox Rhythm fork makes easy work
of rocks and roots while the Fox Float X shock keeps you in control.
New in-frame storage and adjustable geometry give you all the perks that
come with the carbon model, but without the lofty price tag.
