They currently don't have one in the shop yet (they're still switching over from skiing), so I'll try it in a few weeks.

I currently ride a Rocky Mountain Element 10 which has a standover height of 724 mm. I just did some internet checking. The Lush has a standover height of 685 and the Fuel EX has a standover height of 745. I'm fine on my Element, but if the Fuel EX is really this high, that might be a deal breaker.
I can't wait to hear your decision. You are lucky that you will be able to try out the Fuel EX in your size in a few weeks before making your final decision. As a short female, most bike shops don't have my size in stock to try out.
