The tech you get
A light yet stiff alloy frame, a 140mm RockShox fork with a DebonAir spring for better small-bump compliance, and a FOX shock. A 1x12 SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain with a wide gear range. Plus, Bontrager wheels with tubeless tires and a dropper post.

Smaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. Larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.

Trail Shredder!
Bike was introduced to me at the 100k Team-43 ride. The travel for this bike is dialed in and the geometry is perfect fit to shred the trails.

It's a very good bike, great question mark.

Best I've rode in over 20 years of riding!!
Great ride, plush suspension. Seat dropper has worked flawless. Meaty tires have great grip on the trail. Good drivetrain. I plan to change the brakes. I like sensitive brakes and these aren't
I would buy this bike again
Went from marlin 7 ht to this bike finally upgraded such an amazing bike helps with jumps and going thru trails quick also feels great to ride all around
Great bike Great price
Jumping off a 2004 SC Bullit to the 2022 Fuel EX7 G5 is about the same as going from BlackBerry to IPhone. Each of the former was great in its time, but simply little to no comparison to be made considering the light years difference in tech and performance to the latter. Simply amazing. I just can't believe how good the bike is and easy it is to ride. I come from the motorcycle world and the EX7 is nearly a complete MXer minus an engine. Climbing…dislike climbing to say the least. But on this thing, it's actually fun and rewarding. The position on the bike given the geo is like another dimension. It's a comfortable, elevated riding position on top of those bars. Feels like no effort or energy is wasted. 29s are awesome. Btw, the settings are 100% neutral both up and downhill, base settings for the time being, meaning susp is active on the climbs as well and it just tractors right up those hills. Chips in slacker mode too. Cant wait to flip those sometime down the road and see how it really gets uphill. So that was a nice surprise. Going downhill was very pleasant as well. Long wheel base and loving the 29s on descent too. Front n rear susp is great, a little stiff to what I'm used to, frame probably contributing a bit also. But run my bikes, mx or the Bullit pretty soft so no surprise there. No crazy or extended downhill runs yet, eventually though then will understand the levels and what works. As of now neutral settings are fine. Keeps the speed, just rolls n rolls n rolls! Love this bike, love Trek. Thank you Trek of Beverley Hills!! …and the techs for getting this EX7G5 dialed in! Customer for life🤘
Yes I would buy this bike again
Nice uphill riding experience I love it's downhill steaming and suspension Great ride
Awesome Machine
This is a great ride. My 1st full suspension and it was a great price value proposition. This our 5th Trek bike.
Great bike , fit and finish is awesome
Love this bike. It's very comfortable. At 6'5 230 with a bad back this full suspension feels good
Good entry level bike

trekbikes.comOkay I am rating this bike on an entry level bike I bought mine back when bikes were hard to find in the shops and bought it on an impulse being 61 and wanted to get a full suspension bike I was was going from a 2016 Trek Stache 5 that I had upgraded everything on; that was a great bike I wish I'd of kept it. However I do like the Fule EX7 much better, my rides are mostly trail xc kind of riding and I use it on long distance 50 miles and over, I did a 24 hour solo race in Wausau WI July 2022 and did 190 miles on it in the 24 hours. I've been riding and racing endurance races since 2004 stopped in 2012 then returning to that race in Wausau this year and ended up coming in second place on this bike, before when I raced I always had two bikes having one as a backup. As for FS bikes I've had two Salsas and four Giants the EX is a way better handling bike but it's heavy if I had to buy it again I would get the carbon version with a much better fork the fork on the EX7 is absolutely the worst I have ever ridden I now have a Fox fork on this bike and I'm not into hitting big jumps and I still ended up using the red spacer in the rear shock. I was actually too much of a seasoned rider for the EX7 in its stock from. I've added a much lighter wheelset and tires Sram XO1 shifting a GX cassette the Fox fork bars grips seat is a Brooks c13. My reason for going with the EX over the Top Fuel was I wanted more travel. Honestly I'd buy at the very least the EX8 but if I were doing again I'd get like a 9.7 or better model.
It's a very good bike, great question mark.

trekbikes.comI use mine as a long distance trail bike having done a lot of epic rides on it. First off I bought my EX7 from Dave's Bike World in Florida, I had heard about the rear pivots creaking so I asked if they lubricant it all up and they said yes within 2 months I was having the Ocala Bicycle Center replace a few bearings, I didn't care about warranty on it because I I wanted to do the work myself I have bearing extraction tools but not the right one for the bearings at the rear axle pivot so I had OBC do that little job no big deal however it totally reflects why I'm giving this bike 3 stars, the other is that the weight is more like thirty five lbs, the wheels are super heavy and so is the fork I'll get back to the fork in a bit here, the tires are heavy as well they gripped good for the little time I had them on the bike, I upgraded my wheels to a Stan's Crest MK wheelset 1500 grams instead of 2500 grams the tires are 600 and 650 grams that's on the bike now and the bike is a size large and I took the dropper post off and put a carbon one on and a lighter seat and this bike is at 30 lbs, the bike handles super great until around 30 to 40 miles into a ride then it feels like the fork is like packing up and getting harsh and the same thing with the rear shock I just did a 189 mile mtb event and had to drop the psi in both the fork and rear shock, the rear shock I changed the volume spacer to one size larger but it didn't stop the bike from using almost all of its stroke I'll be changing it again to the largest one, I'll be also looking at buying a better fork for this bike. I'm pretty sure I'm too advanced for the EX7 and I should have gotten a much better model (hindsight) I've even changed the NX shifting to XO1 and a GX cassette. Trek should really go to a different sales Strategy like make it to where the customers can order the frame then choose what they want on their frame, also the big problem I found with the pivots creaking was that the enduro bearings were dryer than they should have been. I'm sure the majority of the people who buy this bike are going to love it.
From great times to unusable.
Reviewed at
trekbikes.comThe bike handles great, but unfortunately not for the period of time you would expect of this product. After only +/- 2000km and 2 years the bottom bracket bearing housing is worn. Warranty? Nope.
I'd recommend this to anyone.
I love my trek fuel ex 7, I was gonna get new suspension for it and brakes. I put new bars on it wider for better turning and control. I added cushcores to the tires because the compound or the rubber is a bit soft for like liking. I'll replace tires soon. I like the way the 29" wheels roll fast uphill and over obstacles with ease. I had a Ellsworth rogue and it feels almost the same to me. Less travel and bigger tires but similar geometry and it is less weight then it too. I love the dropper seat post it came with and I got to experience the enduro style of riding but without the enduro bike price. The 12 speed gears it has is perfect I may replace the front sprocket for a faster top speed. That's about it and change the stem out. I haven't played with the high and low pivot adjustment yet either so I gotta play with that. I am gonna swap out the rear shock and fork soon, for some better functionality for how I ride. I seen cam mccaul build one up for light slopestyle and he said it's awesome, check his YouTube channel.
