Trek Fuel EX 9.8 XT Gen 6 Mountain Bike 2023
The Trek Fuel EX 9.8 XT Gen 6 Mountain Bike brings together a performance-oriented frame with advanced MTB-specific components. The lightweight carbon frame has 140mm travel and the FOX Performance 36 150mm travel fork and Performance Float X rear shock deliver bump-smoothing comfort and control. Progressive trail geometry gives you better control on descents and greater pedalling efficiency, with the Mino Link allowing you to tweak the geometry to best suit rider and terrain.
Shimano XT 12-speed mountain bike-specific components shift instantly and precisely, and offer a gear range able to handle the demands of off-road riding. Shadow technology in the rear derailleur silences and stabilises the drivetrain in the roughest terrain. Shimano XT hydraulic discs take care of braking in all conditions, wet and dry. Wheel size is frame-size dependent, and the bike rolls on either 27.5" or 29" wheels fitted with Bontrager SE5 Team Issue tubeless-ready tyres. The inclusion of a Bontrager Line Elite dropper post means the rider is able to move the saddle down and out of the way for steep, technical descents
