Fuel EX 6 components
Rear Shock
Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
The wheels on Fuel EX 6 are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
