Fuel LX 9.8 XT

Fuel LX 9.8 XT is a rowdy carbon trail bike ready to slay steep descents and blast through wheel-gobbling terrain. Its OCLV Mountain Carbon frame partners with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock (160mm rear, 170mm front) for going all-out on the wildest lines on the mountain. A mechanical Shimano XT M8200 12-speed drivetrain gives you clean, reliable shifting, and 4-piston Shimano XT M8220 brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-dime power.

Technology

Adapt, rip, repeat - Only you can define your perfect trail bike – that's why Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with EX, go pop-happy with MX or charge through it all with LX.
