The Fuel EX 9.8 combines a lightweight full carbon frame with parts carefully selected for their price-performance ratio. The high-performance FOX suspension with revised front and rear damping elements, the carbon wheels with Rapid Drive rear hub and SRAM’s latest wireless electronic shifting group with a wide range of ratios are immediately noticeable on the first trail meters.
The Fuel EX 9.8 is a great investment if you want your bike to take on any terrain.

Technologies of the Trek FUEL 9.8 GX AXS 29″ mountain bike
Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program – Every Bontrager carbon wheel is covered by Trek’s Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program. In the unlikely event you damage your Bontrager carbon wheels within two years of initial purchase, Trek will repair or replace them with ease.Blendr -compatible stem – Bontrager’s Blendr stem technology lets you attach your gear directly to the stem for a clean look and maximum ease of use.OCLV Mountain Carbon – It is based on the patented OCLV process and is designed for the extreme stresses of off-road use. Here, specific areas on the frame are specifically reinforced with unique materials without compromising the lightweight and great ride feel of the carbon frame. Treks Mountain Carbon is more robust than the trail and yet wonderfully light.Mino Link Geometry Adjustment – Adjust the steering angle (by 0.5°) and the bottom bracket height (by up to 10 mm) by simply turning a threaded nut. Turn the threaded nut and choose between a flat and an even flatter geometry without affecting the performance of the chassis.Control Freak – cablerouting system – The versatile cable routing system is smooth and allows for a clean look and any combination of cable routing for shifters, brakes, lockout and vario seatposts through the frame.- Active Braking P ivot – Active Braking Pivot allows Trek engineers to fine-tune how the suspension responds independently to acceleration and braking forces. This gives you more confidence in critical situations.
- Straight Shot with Knock Block – Trek’s Straight Shot frame design optimizes the stiffness-to-weight ratio for a more responsive ride. This allows you to ride harder, but not lose contact with the ground in dicey situations.
- Rapid Drive 108 HR hub – With 108 detent points, the Rapid Drive guarantees immediate acceleration, instead of first stepping into the void when pedaling. Thanks to the lag-free power transmission, you can accelerate out of corners at full throttle and hammer through rough terrain. This high number of detents provide additional control, which can make all the difference on difficult climbs.
