A novel kind of mountain bike called the Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 XT adapts to your riding style and provides almost undetectable power to the trail. It is entirely equipped with a tiny but potent TQ transmission that disappears assistance when needed but vanishes on descents to assist you with a true trail bike feel. An updated RockShox suspension system combines with Shimano XT shifting to complete the design with the ideal blend of performance and cost. A carbon fiber frame makes your ride light and responsive.
You’re a trail rider who wants the best of both traditional and electric mountain bikes. You want power without sacrificing nimble control, but you also want a little assistance on the ups. You value the newest technology and desire upgrades where they are most necessary. You want a sophisticated motor that quietly aids you while you ride since you don’t want to miss out on the authentic mountain riding experience.
A fully-encased 360Wh battery and a TQ harmonic pin ring transmission with a smart charging connector, an integrated LED display, and a covert handlebar remote on an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame. Additionally, there is a 140mm RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear suspension and a 150mm RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork with a DebonAir spring and Charger 2.1 RC damper. All of this is completed by the smooth modulation and precise shifting of a Shimano XT drivetrain.
A trail-adapted e-bike, the TREK Fuel EXe 9.8 has a smart assist system that adapts to your riding style on the hills and a lively, joyful ride on the descents. To put your money where it matters most, it is finished with accurate shifting Shimano XT, carbon wheels, and an improved suspension package. It is equipped with a tiny but mighty TQ transmission that tucks away silently so you can stay in the moment on the trail.
With adaptive assist that vanishes beneath you on climbs and an agile ride that feels natural and joyful on descents, it strikes the ideal mix between a traditional and electric ride.
- Its tiny but potent TQ motor is optimized for the trail, limiting noise to a moment so you can stay present, and ramps up power with you for a smooth ride.
- The clever charge port, svelte integrated display, and covert controls maintain the bike’s traditional mountain bike appearance and feel.
- The updated RockShox suspension package, offers 150mm of front and 140mm of rear travel, keeping your ride silky smooth even when the trail becomes boisterous.
- When you need a little additional gasoline for long bike trips, you may tack on a range extender.
