For Sale:
A lightly-used and well-loved Fuel EX in mostly stock 9.8 (gen 5) configuration. It is a size M/L. I'm 5'8" and while it fits me just fine, I'm probably at the low end of the size range for the frame.

I'm selling because this bike gets almost no use anymore. In fact, it hasn't been ridden at all this season. I've moved to a shorter-travel "downcountry" rig for race days, and frankly, like riding hardtails for my fun rides. I did race this bike a few times last year in some marathon events, and it performed flawlessly. I also bought the bike from a friend who was the original owner, so I can attest to the fact that it's been taken excellent care of for the entirety of its life, including regular suspension and brake maintenance.
