Trek Fuel EX 9.8 AXS Mountain Bike

The Fuel EX 9.8 is a hard-charging trail bike with a light and stiff carbon frame that's smooth and quiet, and holds its own when you pick a line. It's loaded with the latest tech like a wireless SRAM GX AXS drivetrain that's super clean-looking and customisable. 150 mm front and 140 mm rear suspension keep you in control on the roughest trails and it's all topped off with carbon Bontrager wheels with a quick-engaging hub

Key Features

• Its lightweight carbon frame and progressive geometry are built to tackle steep and gnarly descents and punchy climbs alike


• It comes with light and stiff carbon wheels that make quick work of technical terrain and keep you on your line, even when things get hairy


• You get the latest technology in SRAM's workhorse GX group set, with wireless AXS shifting


• With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations


• The Fuel EX 9.8 is the evolution of years of trail riding, with longer front geometry for taking on steep descents, and a steeper seat tube for hammering back up to do it again. Its carbon frame keeps things light, and SRAM GX AXS shifting takes things up a notch for those who want the latest tech.
