The Fuel EX 9.8 XT is an all-around trail bike that blends the light, smooth ride of a carbon frame with upgraded parts made for hard rides. Decked out with 150 mm of front and 140 mm rear FOX Performance suspension, you'll be ready to float through the tough stuff, while carbon wheels keep you tracking through rowdy terrain. A Shimano XT drivetrain tops things off for precise shifting for power on descents and relief on long climbs.

FEATURES:

• Internal Frame Storage: Simplifies the ability to carry ride essentials without the need for a pack, enhancing convenience during your journey
• Active Braking Pivot: Allows engineers to fine-tune suspension reactions to acceleration and braking forces independently, offering enhanced control when needed most
• Adjustable Geometry: Install angle-adjust headset cups (sold separately) to tweak the 64.5-degree head tube angle a degree steeper or slacker to your liking without impacting your bottom bracket height
• Adjustable Leverage Rate: Flip a chip to adjust the leverage rate, switching between Less progressive for a plusher feel on rugged trails and More progressive for big features or coil shock setups
• Size-Specific Chainstays: Tailored for balanced handling, keeping the ride nimble for smaller riders and improving front wheel traction on climbs for taller riders
• Mullet-Ready Design: Equipped to accommodate both 27.5˝ and 29er wheels, providing the agility of the former and the speed of the latter, with Mino Link adjustments for optimal performance
