2024 Trek Fuel EX 9.8 XT (P1 Now) Trek

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 set-up 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 set-up dialled just for you.

The final word

The 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.
