The Fuel MX 9.8 XT is a chaos-craving carbon trail bike built for hitting bonus features.
It starts off with an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, specified with a Fox Factory suspension package (150 mm rear, 160 mm front) and MX wheels for getting wild on the trail. A mechanical Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain provides clean, reliable shifting, and 4-piston XT M8200 brakes offer excellent modulation and stop-on-a-penny power.
You can define your perfect trail bike, which is why the 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 Fuel's new frame gives you loads of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags, and more. Active Braking Pivot allows Trek's engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most.
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 or anodised colours.
- 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.
