@@eduardoguzman333 felt great! People ride any range from dirt jumpers to dual crown downhill bikes there. The fuel is right in the middle and handled everything I’ve hit well there 👍🏻
Changed the grips, handlebars, and stem to PNW. Put a AMS frame protector sticker on it. Changed to Maxxis tires, added Cushcore, and a chain guide/bash guard. Other than that, the major components are all stock, frame, wheels, suspension.
@@funkyribs respectfully, I disagree. Cockpit, seat, pedals, and tires are all so individual and most people change those right away for their individual preferences. Drivetrain, fork, shock are going to be your big changes from “stock” that are going to give you your big changes in capability and performance.
2023 model arriving at the weekend, good to see it handled some bumps and jumps!
Were you riding a stock ex5?
Yup!
How did it feel?

That does not look like a TREK FUEL EX 5, especially not a stock one

@@BeachModeBiking that sounds awesome but I would say that when you change something like the handlebars it becomes custom

@@BeachModeBiking okay, at the end of the day we both have great Fuel Ex 5’s that are not totalled yet 😂
