Trek Fuel EX C Frameset

Fuel EX C is the ideal start for a dream trail bike with a full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame that has 130mm of rear travel with a Fox Performance RE:aktiv Thru Shaft shock. Build it up light and fast or make it a beefy bruiser that's ready for some extra chunk.

• Claimed weight M - 3.15 kg

Highlights

• Will my bike have a curved top tube?: Smaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that curves down 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 you can enjoy 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 reacts to the terrain faster than any other product on the market.
