Review
This is my first FS bike after having been on a Trek 4300 HT for several years. The Fuel EX line is a great value for bikes, and the Fuel lower end features a lot of the same geometry and features as the 9s. The Pro Pedal lock out on the rear shock is great once you realize how to use it, and the aggressive handling of the bike reacts well to you really pushing it. This is a rider's bike, and I'm very happy with having it!
