Fuel EX 9.7 is our most affordable full suspension carbon trail bike. It pairs a lightweight, smooth-riding frame with a beefy 140mm FOX 36 fork and 130mm FOX Float Performance shock, Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain, and powerful 4-piston brakes for a fast, fun mountain bike that’s a ripper now, and ripe for upgrades later.
