BICIKL TREK MTB FUEL EX 9.8 GX AXS S 27.5 MULSANNE BLUE / 2023 / Gen 6
Jack of all trails, master of fun – Fuel EX
Holding the cards to perfect trail days
Shuffling things up and dealing a royal flush of adjustability, capable handling, and a grin-inducing playful ride, the Fuel EX is back and more ready than ever to tame any trail. It packs in longer-travel suspension to broaden the horizons of a trail bike into bigger terrain and faster speeds, with a lively character that begs to be let loose on the singletrack. From lacing lines through tight aspens, to rallying root lattices and barrelling through berms, any trail, any way, the Fuel EX is up to get down.
Fuel EX reviews
„Our favourite Trek“ – Vital MTB
The Fuel EX proved itself a happy climber and descender. From slabs to roots and square-edge hits, the Fuel EX handled it masterfully. A damn fine trail bike right out of the box, no matter your riding style.
„The Fuel EX is a masterpiece“ – Freehub Magazine
The Fuel EX absolutely devours chunky terrain while still retaining the ability to tractor up steep climbs. I have become convinced that a bike with long, stable geometry and mid-level travel really can provide the best of both worlds.
„Loves to ride fast, both up and down“ – The Loam Wolf
The Fuel EX is a highly adaptable bike that feels comfortable in a really wide variety of terrain, but doesn’t confuse itself for anything more or less. Bike riders, rejoice.
„Ready for anything“ – Pinkbike
The Fuel EX’s geometry feels ready for just about anything. There’s plenty of traction for climbing and a nice fluttery feel on descents, calmly smoothing out the trail chatter.
Adjust your bike, not your riding
That 'juuust right' feel
The Mino Link lets you quickly and easily tweak your geometry, so your bike is always tuned perfectly for the terrain and your riding style.
Slack or steep, the choice is yours
Install angle-adjust headset cups (sold separately) to tweak the 64.5-degree headtube angle a degree steeper or slacker to your liking – all without impacting your bottom bracket height.
Business at the front, party at the back
Craving the nimble ride of 27.5˝ wheels but don’t want to sacrifice the speed of a 29er? No need to choose. The Fuel EX is mullet-ready, just throw Mino Link into high, toss on a 160 mm fork and get ready to party.
Adjustable Leverage Rate
Easily adjust suspension progression with just a flip of a chip. Ride it in the Less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails loaded with square-edge bumps. Flip it to More progressive when you’re riding fast, hitting big features and don’t want to bottom out – or if you want to roll with a coil shock.
Fit for everyone
Sized for every rider
Whether your head is above the clouds, or you stand at a lower altitude, the Fuel EX’s huge size range provides an outstanding fit for every rider. If you fall between the XS and XXL, you’ll be ready to saddle up with size-appropriate wheels and chainstay lengths for a ride that’s fine-tuned to you no matter your height.
01 – The slack and stable 64.5-degree head tube angle complements the longer-travel suspension for more confidence.
02 – A steeper, 77.2-degree seat tube keeps you perched for pedalling efficiency on long fire roads and quick, punchy climbs.
03 – Longer reach compensates for the steeper seat tube, so you stay comfortable in the cockpit and ready for what’s around the corner.
04 – Size-specific chainstays give smaller riders more nimble handling, while taller riders get better front wheel traction on climbs.
Fresh frame design
New frame, new possibilities
The Fuel EX’s new generation opens up possibilities for riders who want full customisation. Broader shock compatibility allows for more aftermarket upgrades, like coil shocks. A larger 34.9 mm seat tube accommodates larger, more robust dropper posts.
Non-stop suspension
Trek’s exclusive Active Braking Pivot keeps your suspension active while you’re braking (which is often when you need it most).
Clean and easy
Internal routing tunnels eliminate cable rattle and simplify maintenance along with a robust threaded BB. A bolt-on downtube and chainstay guards protect against rock strikes and shuttle damage while muting noise from the trail.
Stow it, don’t show it
Stash your ride essentials with in-tube storage on all models – both carbon and alloy. The included Bontrager BITS bag keeps all your odds and ends organised.

Two riders, two interconnected tracks and two new Fuel EX's running mullet set-ups. Watch Brandon Semenuk and Kade Edwards come together to push the limits of the new Fuel EX with unbelievable proximity riding and mind-blowing cinematography.
The Fuel EX 9.8 is a hard-charging trail bike with a light and stiff carbon frame that's smooth and quiet, and holds its own when you pick a line. It's loaded with the latest tech like a wireless SRAM GX AXS drivetrain that's super clean-looking and customisable. 150 mm front and 140 mm rear suspension keep you in control on the roughest trails and it's all topped off with carbon Bontrager wheels with a quick-engaging hub.
It's right for you if...
You want a full suspension ride that can handle anything you throw its way. You want the vibration-damping benefits of a carbon frame and wheels and rock-gobbling premium suspension, and appreciate when you can keep your set-up clean and minimalist with wireless 12-speed shifting.
The tech you get
A light-and-stiff carbon frame with a full FOX Performance suspension package that turns chunky rock gardens into smooth sailing. Carbon wheels that keep weight down while offering stiff and reliable tracking. Plus, the wireless shifting of SRAM GX AXS, and tubeless hoops and tyres so you can spend less time fixing flats. Finally, you'll find adjustable geometry and in-frame storage for keeping your set-up dialled just for you.
The final word
The Fuel EX 9.8 is the evolution of years of trail riding, with longer front geometry for taking on steep descents, and a steeper seat tube for hammering back up to do it again. Its carbon frame keeps things light, and SRAM GX AXS shifting takes things up a notch for those who want the latest tech.
