The bike itself ( trek fuel ex5) is decent, although that’s a pretty entry-level airfork and may feel a little whimpy in harsh terrain. I have the Recon on my hardtail, and I was able to ride all my l
local trails, but it won’t instill the most confidence in your riding. I am completely unfamiliar with the rear shock on that bike (x fusion pro 2)?
The price seems too high if Im doing my conversion correctly. You should aim for about half of the original cost at most. The bike is on sale on Treks website right now for $2200(£1700 I believe).
Here are the specs to help you decide if this is the right type of bike for you.
