Internal storage space Thanks to the internal storage space, you don't need a bag. You can carry all your riding essentials in it.
	Active Braking Pivot The Active Braking Pivot system allows our engineers to tune the damping to respond independently to acceleration and braking. The result is reliable handling.
A more laid-back or more upright angle, it's up to you Cup spacers (sold separately) can be used to adjust the headset angle. The 64.5-degree angle of the head tube can thus be more upright or more laid back as needed without affecting the height of the bottom bracket.
	Adjust the suspension to suit the terrain Adjust the lift ratio by simply turning the switch. A less progressive setting is more compliant and ideal for rough trails with steep jumps. The more progressive setting is suitable for larger jumps when you want to use the full travel or use a spring shock absorber.
Chain stays by size Chain stays by size ensure balanced handling. They offer a nimble ride for smaller riders. For larger riders, they improve front wheel traction and make climbing easier.
	Elegance in front, fun in back Do you long for a nimble ride on 27.5-inch wheels, but don't want to give up the speed of 29-inch wheels? Don't despair. The Fuel EX lets you use both sizes. Just set the Mino Link to the high position, use a 160mm fork, and you're done.
