Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Trek Fuel LX 9.8 XT Carb. Trail Bike in Purple Phaze/Amethyst Marble

Season:2027

Brand:Trek

Code:81555PUR

The Fuel LX 9.8 XT is a rowdy carbon trail bike ready to slay steep descents and blast through wheel-gobbling terrain.

Its OCLV Mountain Carbon frame partners with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock (160mm rear, 170mm front) for going all-out on the wildest lines on the mountain. A mechanical Shimano XT M8200 12-speed drivetrain gives you clean, reliable shifting, and 4-piston Shimano XT M8220 brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-dime power.

Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with EX, go pop-happy with MX or charge through it all with LX. The new frame design provides room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags and more.

Features:

  • Adjustable leverage rate: Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.
  • Zero stack integrated headset: ZS standard headset allows for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust.
  • Storage and accessory mounts: Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage and top tube accessory mounts.
  • Active braking pivot: Allows engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently.
