Trek Fuel EX C Gen 5 Frameset

Fuel EX C is the ideal starting point for a dream trail bike: its full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame provides 130mm of rear travel thanks to a Fox Factory RE:aktiv Thru Shaft shock. Build it light and fast or beef it up to handle anything.

• Claimed weight M - 3.15kg

Highlights

• Will my bike have a curved top tube?: Smaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that curves as it approaches the seat tube. This design provides a lower standover height, ideal for shorter riders as it makes getting on the bike easier.
• Internal storage: Storage inside the frame lets you carry all your ride essentials without a saddle bag.
• Active Braking Pivot: Active Braking Pivot technology has allowed our engineers to optimise how the suspension responds independently to acceleration and braking forces. This means more confident control when you need it most.
• RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft: RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft offers unrivalled traction and control thanks to a shock that responds to the terrain faster than any other product on the market.
