The Trek Fuel EX 5 Gen 7 is built for riders who want to do it all — climb efficiently, descend confidently, and enjoy every twist of the trail in between. It’s a modern trail bike that combines balanced suspension performance with a geometry that’s both agile and stable, perfect for UK trail centres or big mountain adventures.
At its heart is a lightweight Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame with 150 mm of front and 140 mm of rear travel. Trek’s refined geometry offers a perfect balance between climbing efficiency and descending control, while an adjustable leverage rate and flip chip let you fine-tune the ride to your style. The integrated internal storage compartment adds practicality, letting you stash tools or snacks inside the downtube.
The suspension setup features a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork with 150 mm of travel, using the Solo Air spring and Motion Control damper for tunable performance and smooth, responsive feel. The X-Fusion Pro 2 rear shock complements it perfectly, keeping the back end planted and controlled on rougher sections. Together, they give you confident traction and comfort when the trail gets technical.
A Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed drivetrain delivers reliable shifting and a wide 10-51T cassette, making it easy to spin up steep climbs and power through varied terrain. The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (MT201/MT200) offer dependable stopping power in all weather conditions, keeping your ride safe and controlled.
The Bontrager Line TLR 30 wheels are tubeless-ready, reducing the risk of punctures and improving grip when run at lower pressures. Paired with Bontrager Gunnison XR tyres, they strike a great balance of rolling speed and traction on loose or rocky trails.
Finishing details like the TranzX dropper post, Bontrager alloy cockpit, and Verse Short saddle ensure comfort and control across long rides. At 17.02 kg, it’s a solid performer that feels planted yet playful.
Whether you’re tackling your local trail loops, long mountain days, or weekend adventures, the Trek Fuel EX 5 Gen 7 is built to keep up — blending efficiency, durability, and fun in every ride.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimetres for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but are like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the Mountain bike column.
Read our bike size guide for more information on sizing.
