IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY
If you're chasing steep, technical descents on Hydraulink Trails or the loamy lines around Knox Mountain, the Fuel LX 9.8 XT is built to charge through them with confidence. This rowdy carbon trail bike pairs an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock, delivering 170mm of front and 160mm of rear travel for tackling wheel-gobbling terrain. A mechanical Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain keeps shifting clean and reliable, while 4-piston Shimano XT brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-dime power when the trail gets steep.

WHO IS THIS FOR |
The Fuel LX 9.8 XT is built for an experienced rider who wants to push hard on steep, technical descents and rowdy terrain — think aggressive lines through Hydraulink Trails or Okanagan Mountain Park — without giving up pedaling efficiency on the climbs back up. They'll appreciate the coil-sprung DHX2 shock and burly Fox 38 fork for soaking up impact on the roughest sections, plus the 4-piston XT brakes for confident, controlled stopping on steep pitches. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425. |

HOW TO SET UP |
Our team can set up your sag and rebound on both the Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock — including selecting the right coil spring weight for your rider weight — so the Fuel LX 9.8 XT tracks and absorbs impacts the way it should before you hit the trail. We'll route and check your Bontrager Line Dropper post, confirm your tubeless tyre setup and sealant levels, and dial in brake bleed and lever reach. We also offer ongoing suspension servicing and tubeless maintenance year-round. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online. |
