Trek mountain bike EX 5.5 review

Recently I bought my Trek Fuel EX 5.5 and I was thrilled with it. Overall I love this bike and can’t wait to get back on it. It is a great bang for the buck. In its price range, I don’t think I could have done better. During my usual routine with the bike I do really challenging hills and down hills that are fast and rugged. My EX 5.5 makes riding them a cinch.

One of my favorite things about the bike is its lock out on the suspension.

If you switch a lever it immediately turns into a hard tail, and that makes climbing ever so easy. Another good feature is that the completely adjustable air suspension that enables you to alter your bike, no matter what your size or weight might be. You will save time and trouble by not having to buy new springs. The only disappointment is the Bontrager tyres which are not up to the standards I would like. When I get a little extra cash I will replace them. The problem is that they skid too easily when riding down horizontal slopes, and they are the absolutely the loudest tires I’ve ever owned when you get to a section of the road. But would I recommend the bike? Sure. Get a few things changed out and have a great ride!
