"Mike Kazimer's Coil Shock Trek Fuel EX: A Staff Favorite"

Mike Kazimer's Trek Fuel EX is an adaptable bike that can serve as a test platform for a wide range of parts. The Fuel EX has 140mm of travel, an amount that is well suited to the terrain near his home in Bellingham, Washington, especially when paired with a 160mm fork. The bike is currently set up with a 160mm RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork and the latest version of Cane Creek's IL coil shock. At the moment, he is rolling on Race Face's recently launched Turbine aluminum wheels.
