Who is it for?

For the rider on a conventional mountain bike who is hesitant to switch to electric for fear of losing the feel. The Fuel+ EX 9.7 still rides like a trail bike, with just enough help to fit in twice as many descents in a morning.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. OCLV sums up a process Trek has mastered for more than thirty years: compacting the fibre layers under pressure and at high temperature to drive out the air. For the Fuel+, the brand uses its Mountain version, designed to shrug off rocks and crashes rather than to save the last gram. This carbon frame carries a Trek lifetime warranty, with the removable battery housed in its down tube.

	Carbon Fuel+ EX (9.7 to 9.9)	Aluminium Fuel+ EX 8	Fuel EXe (previous generation)
Level	Off-road version of OCLV carbon	The pinnacle of Alpha aluminium	First-generation carbon e-MTB
Construction	Reinforced layers in exposed areas	Tubes formed under pressure	TQ HPR50 with 50 Nm, 360 Wh battery
Reference bike	Fuel+ EX 9.7: 20.68 kg (M)	Fuel+ EX 8: 21.68 kg (M)	Fuel EXe 9.7: 19.33 kg (M)
What it means	A kilo lighter than the alloy version	Heavier frame, very durable	Lighter, less assist

Put simply: the 9.7 gives you the Fuel+ EX carbon frame while keeping sensible components: Fox Rhythm up front, Float X at the rear, Eagle 70 and DB 8 brakes. It weighs 20.68 kg in M, a kilo less than the aluminium Fuel+ EX 8.

The TQ HPR60 stands out for its discretion: very little noise, progressive power that follows your effort rather than replacing it, and a compact size that keeps the bottom bracket area clear. On the singletrack of the Montagne Noire, you quickly rediscover the pleasure of pedalling, keeping the help for accelerations and short steep pitches.

The Fox Rhythm 36 uses a simpler GRIP damper than the Factory versions: few dials, quick basic setup and a fork that works well without expert knowledge. We set it up when you collect the bike, sag included, then show you how to fine-tune it to suit your rides. The assist, compliant with e-bike regulations, cuts out at 25 km/h.

Which Fuel+ should you choose?

Model	Frame	Motor / battery	Rear / front travel	Weight (M)
Fuel+ EX 8 Eagle 70	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	145 / 150 mm	21.68 kg
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

Our take: at 20.68 kg in M, the 9.7 weighs a kilo less than the aluminium Fuel+ EX 8 (21.68 kg) with the same motor and the same travel. The 9.8 Eagle 90 (20.38 kg) mainly adds RockShox Ultimate suspension.

LVR sizing advice

If you are between two sizes, the smaller one makes the bike easier to place in slow corners, the larger one more composed on fast descents. The dropper goes from 150 mm in S to 200 mm from L upwards, and the S runs a 29 / 27.5 setup.

Size	S	M	L	XL	XXL
Rider height (cm)	155-165	165-177	177-188	188-195	195-203
Inseam (cm)	74-78	79-83	84-89	89-91	91-97
Dropper post (mm)	150	170	200	200	200
Front / rear wheels (in)	29 / 27.5	29 / 29	29 / 29	29 / 29	29 / 29
