Fuel EX 9.8 is a hard-charging trail bike with a light and stiff carbon frame that's smooth, quiet, and holds its own when you pick a line. It's loaded with the latest tech like a wireless SRAM GX AXS drivetrain that's super clean looking and customizable. 150mm front and 140mm rear suspension keep you in control on the roughest trails and it's all topped off with carbon Bontrager wheels with a quick-engaging hub.

Why you'll love it
1. Its lightweight carbon frame and progressive geometry are built to tackle steep and gnarly descents and punchy climbs alike
2. It comes with light and stiff carbon wheels that make quick work of technical terrain and keep you on your line, even when things get hairy
3. You get the latest technology in SRAM's workhorse GX groupset, with wireless AXS shifting
4. With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
5. 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
