The 2008 Fuel EX story actually begins in late 2005, riding "big bikes" on the CBC trail in Vancouver, BC. We were doing final shock tuning on the Session 10 and feeling pretty good about the bike. The geometry of the bike was dialed, the suspension felt awesome and for a 40-some lb bike with 10 inches of suspension travel, pedaling efficiency was incredible with no pedal feedback.
But there was one area we all felt could be a bit better. We really wanted a better feel through the harsh, high speed braking bumps. We wanted the bike to have more of a floating over the bumps feel instead of skipping over the tops of them.
That smoothness during braking and keeping the suspension working efficiently became the goal. But how to get there – that was the question.
