This is my first FS bike and all I can say is wow! It feels like I'm floating when riding the trails. This bike is much lighter than my 2008 Rockhopper and feels much faster too.
I find that I can freewheel for longer periods on this bike and there seems less need to pedal so much.
A fantastic bike.

Trek says
Like nothing else on the trail. It's our do everything, full-suspension trail bike that's equal parts efficient climber and commanding descender. The Fuel EX 9 is our top-of-the-line aluminum bike, complete with proprietary DRCV shock technology and Fox QR15 fork, for a bike that instills absolute control and confidence.
