Description

Fuel EX 9.8 XT is a versatile and adaptable carbon MTB built to tackle any trail, anytime. Its OCLV Mountain Carbon frame pairs with a Fox Factory suspension package (145mm rear, 150mm front) to deliver traction and stability in the rough. 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-dime power.

Adapt, rip, repeat

Only you can define your perfect trail bike — that's why 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.

Adapt, rip, repeat

Adjustable leverage rate

Want more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.

Adjustable leverage rate

Zero stack integrated headset

With a ZS standard headset, you've got tons of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodized colors.

Fresh frame design

Fuel's new frame gives you tons of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags, and more.

Active Braking Pivot

Active Braking Pivot allows our 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.
