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!

Trek Fuel LX 9.8 XT Gen 7 Mountain Bike in Purple Phaze/Amethyst Marble

Season:2026

Brand:Trek

Code:59084PUR

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 (160 mm rear, 170 mm front) for going all-out on the wiliest lines on the mountain. A mechanical Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain gives you clean, reliable shifting, and 4-piston XT M8200 brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-penny power.

The Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations: EX for do-it-all capability, MX for pop-happy riding, or LX for charging through it all.

Features:

  • Adjustable leverage rate: Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate, offering more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity.
  • Zero Stack Integrated Headset: With a ZS standard headset, you have loads of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust.
  • Storage and Accessory Mounts: Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all Fuel models (both carbon and alloy). Plus, top tube accessory mounts let you load up even more.
  • Fresh Frame Design: The Fuel's new frame gives you loads of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, and frame bags.
  • Active Braking Pivot: This allows Trek's engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently, providing more confident control when you need it most.
