TREK Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS 2023
The TREK Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS offers an advanced approach to e-mountain riding with a sleek new motor that combines space-age technology into a tiny yet potent size. It is constructed with a carbon fiber chassis that is light, rigid, and nimble for a vibrant and joyful trail experience. And to keep a good thing going, carbon wheels, wireless shifting technology from SRAM GX AXS, and silky-smooth suspension from a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork and SuperDeluxe Select+ rear suspension are included.
You desire a dynamic trail bike that feels like a classic mountain bike on swift, technical terrain, but provides a modest boost in pedal power on the ascent. You desire space-age technology throughout the motor, from the engine to the drivetrain, as well as a suspension that keeps the vehicle floating on the trail. You don’t want to sacrifice the natural pleasure of mountain riding, so you seek a refined motor that assists in a quiet manner.
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame outfitted with a fully-enclosed 360Wh battery and TQ harmonic pin ring transmission with a smart charging connector, an integrated LED display, and discrete handlebar control. Plus, a 140mm RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear suspension and a 150mm RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork with DebonAir spring and Charger 2.1 RC damper. The icing on the cake? A wireless SRAM GX AXS drivetrain that keeps a streamlined cockpit.
The Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 is a streamlined trail bike with just enough power for blazing ascents before accelerating through tricky and flowing courses alike. It is fitted with forward-thinking technology, such as the space-approved TQ transmission and wireless SRAM GX AXS shifting, which keep the cockpit simple. Finally, carbon wheels and an improved RockShox suspension setup allow you to float on the trail regardless of the trail conditions.
- You get a bike that descends like your favorite trail bike and climbs with adaptive help without making you feel like a cheater.
- Its tiny but powerful TQ transmission is tuned for the trail, keeping things quiet so you can stay in the moment, and it increases power with you for a natural ride feel.
- The smart charge port, sleek integrated display, and discrete controls give the bike a conventional mountain bike appearance and feel.
- The updated RockShox suspension kit keeps 150mm of front travel and 140mm of rear travel, ensuring a silky smooth ride even when the trail gets rough.
- You will be able to install a range extender when you need a little additional gas for long days on the bike.
