Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 XT 2023

The Fuel EXe 9.8 XT is a new breed of mountain bike with a nearly invisible power assist that is not only compact, but even adapts to your riding style. The compact, powerful drive unit from TQ supports you when you need it, but is otherwise elegantly reserved so that you can experience the true trail bike feeling on the descents. The carbon frame weighs down and improves agility, while the revised RockShox chassis in combination with the Shimano XT gears puts a bike on the wheels that offers the perfect balance of performance and price.

It's the right bike for you if...

... you as a trail biker: want the best combination of traditional mountain bike and e-mountain bike. You don't want to sacrifice agile handling in favor of maximum e-power, but you still don't want to crank up climbs completely without drive support. You appreciate modern technology and focus on upgrades where it matters most. However, when mountain biking you don't want to do without the natural riding experience and a sophisticated motor with particularly quiet drive support.

You get this equipment

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a fully integrated 360 Wh battery and TQ Harmonic Pin Ring drivetrain with a clever charging connector, display integrated in the top tube and discreet remote control on the handlebars. Also a RockShox Lyrik Select+ suspension fork with 150 mm travel, DebonAir suspension and Charger 2.1 RC damping as well as a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ with 140 mm travel. As the icing on the cake, the bike is equipped with an XT component group from Shimano for precise shifting quality and fine control.

That's what Trek says

With its lively, playful handling on the descents and the intuitive drive support on the climbs, the Fuel EXe 9.8 is the optimal e-bike for trails. Its compact, powerful TQ drive is quiet and perfectly integrated into the frame so you can concentrate on the riding experience. With the rest of the equipment, such as the precise Shimano XT group, carbon wheels and upgraded chassis components, your money is used where it has the best effect.
