All Rounder

The Fuel EX can hit steep descents and long climbs so it's perfect for the rider who wants to do it all.

Internal Storage Compartment

The internal storage provides you with a sleek space to put all your tools and gear in.

Updated Geometry

The updated geometry is longer and slacker making it more stable and faster on the descents.

Updated Suspension Design

The rear suspension has now moved to fixed lower shock mount which means its stronger and more efficient.


Fuel EX 9.8 is the carbon trail bike that can fly through singletrack, throw down with the rowdy trail crew and crush miles during marathon races. A lightweight full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, 1x12 SRAM GX Eagle drive train, carbon wheels and FOX Performance Float suspension with Trek's exclusive RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft shock make it the perfect choice for all-mountain shredders who want a single bike that does it all.
