Product details

IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY

Fuel EX 9.8 XT is a playful and capable trail bike that blends together cherry-picked components with a light full carbon frame for the best balance of price and performance. Decked out with 150mm of front and 140mm rear FOX Performance suspension package, you'll be ready to float through the chunder, while carbon wheels keep tracking precise through rowdy terrain. A Shimano XT drivetrain tops things off for precise shifting for power on descents and relief on long climbs.

 

 

IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF

You're chasing long flowy and technical descents, and want to pedal back to the top for more, lap after lap. You want the vibration damping benefits of a carbon frame and carbon wheels, plus upgraded suspension that smooths out the rough and rowdy.

THE TECH YOU GET

A light and stiff carbon frame with a full FOX Performance suspension package that smooths out rowdy rock gardens and root lattices. Plus, carbon wheels that keep your setup light and tracking precise, and the clean shifting and brake modulation of a Shimano XT drivetrain. Finally, you'll find adjustable geometry and in-frame storage for keeping your setup dialed just for you.

THE FINAL WORD

Fuel EX 9.8 is the culmination of years of trail riding and progression, with longer front end geometry for tackling steeper and hairier descents, and a steeper seat tube to keep you perched on climbs. It's equipped with the cherry-picked components you want, like upgraded suspension, carbon wheels, and a Shimano XT drivetrain.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

Fuel EX Gen 6 gives you 140/150mm of travel with extra adjustability features and more stable handling, plus a more robust frame with internal storage

We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5″ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5″ or 29″, and sizes M and up get 29″ wheels

It's ready to rip with lightweight carbon wheels that easily tackle rough terrain and hold their line when things get rowdy

In-frame storage makes it easy to bring along all of your essentials, while keeping your setup streamlined and sleek

With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
