For the mountain biker who rides enduro for whole days and wants to climb back up under leg power, helped just as much as needed, rather than lugging a high-powered e-MTB around. It is also aimed at anyone who strings together several descents per ride.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Thirty years of know-how sum up OCLV: a stack of pre-impregnated fibres, cured and pressed in the mould until not a single air bubble remains. On an electric enduro bike, the OCLV Mountain version really comes into its own: its lay-up is designed to withstand flying stones and landings, with a heavier load on board than a non-assisted mountain bike. On the Fuel+ LX, it also houses a 580 Wh TQ battery that comes out without any complicated tools, and Trek covers it with a lifetime warranty.
| OCLV Mountain (Fuel+ 9.7 to 9.9) | Alpha NEXT Platinum (Fuel+ EX 8) | Road OCLV (Madone, Domane) | |
| Level | Trek's off-road carbon | Most advanced mountain bike aluminium | Road bike carbon |
| Construction | Lay-up reinforced against impacts | Hydroformed tubes | Lay-up focused on lightness |
| Reference bike | Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT: 20.10 kg (M) | Fuel+ EX 8: 21.08 kg (M) | not applicable to mountain bikes |
| What it means | 0.98 kg lighter for the same travel | Tough, a little heavier | Not designed for impacts |
Put simply: this Fox-suspended Fuel+ LX 9.8 Eagle 90 is the only Fuel+ LX for which Trek publishes a weight, 20.88 kg in size M. That is 780 g more than the Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT (20.10 kg), in exchange for 15 mm of extra travel at the rear, 20 mm at the front and a coil shock.
The coil-sprung Fox DHX2 shock is the choice of riders who prioritise sensitivity: it responds to the smallest bumps and stays consistent even on long descents. In the rock gardens of the Caroux, where impacts come thick and fast, that consistency translates into a rear wheel that stays glued to the ground.
On the drive side, the TQ HPR60 delivers 60 Nm of torque and peaks at 350 W, for 250 W rated; like any European e-bike, its assist stops at 25 km/h. Discreet and compact, it keeps the handling close to that of a conventional mountain bike, and the 580 Wh battery comes out of the frame for charging at home.
| Model | Motor / battery | Rear / front travel | Drivetrain | Weight (M) |
| Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 145 / 150 mm | Shimano XT | 20.10 kg |
| Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2 | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 150 / 160 mm | Shimano XT Di2 | 19.79 kg |
| Fuel+ LX 9.8 Eagle 90 (Fox) | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 160 / 170 mm | SRAM Eagle 90 | 20.88 kg |
| Slash+ 9.9 (mixed 29 / 27.5) | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 170 mm fork | SRAM X0 AXS | 21.83 kg |
Our take: at 20.88 kg in M, this Fuel+ LX weighs 1.09 kg more than the Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2 (19.79 kg), for 10 mm more travel at each wheel and a coil shock. The Slash+ 9.9, another TQ enduro bike, goes up to 21.83 kg in M with a 27.5 inch rear wheel.

LVR sizing advice If you are between sizes, the shorter one makes the Fuel+ LX easier to place in hairpins, the longer one more stable when charging through rock gardens. The Line Dropper post follows the frame: 150 mm in S, 170 mm in M, 200 mm in L and XL.

| What does this Fuel+ LX weigh? | 20.88 kg in size M according to Trek, with tubeless sealant and no inner tubes. |

| Does the battery come out? | Yes, the TQ 580 Wh is removable: it can be charged off the bike. |
| Does the navy blue look dark? | In the shade it looks almost black; in the sun, the smoky blue really comes through. |

The LVR Cycles verdict An enduro e-MTB that relies on the lightness and discretion of the TQ HPR60 rather than raw power, with first-rate coil-sprung Fox suspension. The smoky navy blue on matt black suits it perfectly.
