2026 Trek Fuel LX 9 XT Gen 7 – Hard-Charging Aluminum Trail Bike
Rowdy Descents. Reliable Shifting.
The 2026 Trek Fuel LX 9 XT is built for riders who demand control, precision, and performance on aggressive trails. Its adaptable Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminum frame pairs with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock (170mm front, 160mm rear) to handle steep, technical terrain with confidence. A mechanical Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain delivers clean, reliable shifting, while 4-piston XT M8200 brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-dime power. Perfect for rowdy laps and challenging descents where performance matters most.

KEY FEATURES |
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. 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. Zero stack integrated headset - With a ZS standard headset, you've got tons of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodized colors. 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 - 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. |
