Trek Fuel EX 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6 Trail Bike – 2023

• You want a full suspension ride that can handle anything you throw its way.
• You want the vibration damping benefits of a carbon frame and wheels, rock-gobbling premium suspension, and appreciate when you can keep your setup clean and minimalist with wireless 12-speed shifting.

• A light and stiff carbon frame with a full FOX Performance suspension package that turns chunky rock gardens into smooth sailing
• Carbon wheels that keep weight down while offering stiff and reliable tracking
• Wireless shifting of SRAM GX AXS
• Tubeless hoops and tires so you can spend less time fixing flats
• Adjustable geometry and in-frame storage for keeping your setup dialed just for you

• Fuel EX 9.8 is the evolution of years of trail riding, with longer front geometry for taking on steep descents, and a steeper seat tube for hammering back up to do it again. Its carbon frame keeps things light, and SRAM GX AXS shifting takes things up a notch for those who want the latest tech.

• 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: Trek expanded their 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
