For the tall rider who often feels cramped on an e-MTB and wants an open position, a saddle that drops right out of the way on descents and a cockpit that filters out vibration.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Trek has been curing its carbon fibre under pressure since 1992 to produce frames free of porosity; the Mountain version of the process adds material where a mountain bike takes the hits. This Fuel+ EX 9.8 gets a frame that is stiff under load, able to house a removable battery and, on this version, take an 800 mm carbon handlebar.
| Carbon Fuel+ EX (9.7 to 9.9) | Aluminium Fuel+ EX 8 | Fuel EXe (previous generation) | |
| Level | Carbon reserved for mountain bikes | Premium Trek aluminium | Previous-generation lightweight e-MTB |
| Construction | OCLV Mountain, impact reinforcements | Alpha NEXT Platinum | OCLV Mountain, HPR50 and 360 Wh |
| Reference bike | Fuel+ EX 9.8 Eagle 90: 20.38 kg (M) | Fuel+ EX 8: 21.08 kg (M) | Fuel EXe 9.7: 19.33 kg (M) |
| What it means | High-end suspension on carbon | Heavier, cheaper | 10 Nm and 220 Wh less |
Put simply: on the 9.8 Eagle 90, Trek puts the money into RockShox Ultimate suspension and keeps a mechanical drivetrain. This version adds an 800 mm carbon handlebar and rolls on 29 inch wheels front and rear, for 20.38 kg in M.
A taller rider lengthens the lever arms and puts more twist through the frame: the stiffness of the OCLV Mountain carbon and the ERA carbon bar keep the bike precise under load. The 200 mm dropper clears the saddle completely, essential for moving freely on a bike of this size.
A heavier rider puts more demand on the suspension: the Lyrik Ultimate fork with its DebonAir+ spring and the Super Deluxe Ultimate shock are adjusted by air pressure, which we set for your kitted-up weight. The TQ motor, restricted to 25 km/h and 250 W like any e-bike, supports you without any harshness.
| Model | Frame | Motor / battery | Rear / front travel | Weight (M) |
| Fuel+ EX 9.7 Eagle 70 | OCLV Mountain carbon | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 150 mm front | 20.68 kg |
| Fuel+ EX 9.8 Eagle 90 | OCLV Mountain carbon | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 145 / 150 mm | 20.38 kg |
| Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT | OCLV Mountain carbon | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 145 / 150 mm | 20.10 kg |
| Fuel+ LX 9.8 Eagle 90 | OCLV Mountain carbon | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 160 / 170 mm | 20.88 kg |
Our take: at 20.38 kg in M, this 9.8 Eagle 90 weighs 30 g more than the 9.7 and 280 g more than the 9.8 XT, but on this version it is the only one of the trio to combine RockShox Ultimate and a carbon handlebar.
