About the Fuel EX Jr.
For years, Trek engineers bribed welders with six packs for custom kid’s bikes and then hung high-end, modified drivetrains and suspension on them. Trek’s own desire to create the best mountain bike for their own kids is what drove us to create Trek’s new full suspension kid’s bike. The Fuel EX Jr is a high performance kid’s full suspension bike that offers all the features and performance of Trek’s Fuel EX in a smaller, ground up design that enables kids to rip. Active Braking Pivot, Full Floater, lightweight Alpha Aluminum frame - it’s all here. For more info on the brand new Fuel EX Jr click here.

Congrats to Chas and his little brother as they're gonna have a sick summer on the trails.

 Good thing I didn't win or the story would have been "Well I wanted the drivetrain and brakes because they are better than what I have on my bike... so I entered the contest. I don't know what to do with the frame..." and then i would have felt like an terrible person.

 Dear Chas little brother:

Congrat's now you will have a big man with moustach bike! Iam so glad that I want to help you. Here is how, i will give you my super experience drive train made by a magical Samurai named Shimano!, he made it with metal from an asteroid! You will ride with magic gears! My friends allways said they can belive how it still ride...its magical! And also i will give you a 25 buckies prepaid ice cream and pizza card so you can bring your girlfrind to a nice date! The only thing you have to do is take out your drivetrain made by a bad oger call Sram that hate candies and ate little kitties, put it in a box wrote my adress on it and MAIL IT. this will destroy the oger and you will save the world with the magic of the Samuray...do we got a deal?

 I had a neon pink and yellow Haro master BMX as a kid in the 80's. Color won't matter. This kid will have one of the best bikes on the block. Go shred that pink shiz.
