New Bike Fuel Ex8

Will get it out tomorrow, picked it up on Friday but then had to work all weekend. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. Will be interesting to see how different it is compared to my last MTB a Fuel Ex7 but that was a 2011. First time on a MTB since 2015! Hope the skills come back.

Congrats, hope you enjoy it. I bought an EX8 about a year ago - in red with lighter red graphics. It's been a great bike to ride and has definitely helped me to conquer stuff I previously chickened out of on my Superfly (which was also a great bike but much more XC versus trail oriented.)

the XR4 are great tires, not sure why more people don't ride them
I prefer larger side knobs in the front so have since changed to a DHF
I'm surprised you still have leaves up there, our trails in the NE look very similar in leaf coverage
have fun!
