The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Trek moulds its OCLV frames by compressing the fibre plies under heat and pressure, leaving no voids. Its Mountain variant was developed for the stresses of off-road riding: flying stones, landings and crashes. This Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT uses it to house the motor and removable battery in a slim silhouette, backed by the Trek lifetime warranty.

	Carbon Fuel+ EX (9.7 to 9.9)	Aluminium Fuel+ EX 8	Fuel EXe (previous generation)
Level	Trek off-road carbon	Trek's most advanced alloy	First-generation lightweight e-MTB
Construction	OCLV Mountain	Hydroformed Alpha NEXT Platinum	TQ HPR50, 360 Wh battery
Reference bike	Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT: 20.10 kg (M)	Fuel+ EX 8: 21.68 kg (M)	Fuel EXe 9.7: 19.33 kg (M)
What it means	Fox Factory and XT on carbon	Heavier frame	Less torque and energy

Put simply: the 9.8 XT combines Fox Factory and mechanical Shimano XT on the carbon frame, for 20.10 kg in M. It is the benchmark weight for high-end carbon Fuel+ EX models.

The GRIP X2 damper in the Fox 36 offers four independent adjustments: compression and rebound, each at high and low speed. This lets you keep the fork riding high under heavy braking without it turning harsh on fast hits, a clear advantage in the rock gardens of the Montagne Noire.

The Float X with its piggyback reservoir dissipates heat better than a compact shock on long descents, and stays consistent all the way to the bottom. We hand the bike over with a recorded base setup, and the TQ assist, capped at 25 km/h, is updated in the workshop.

Which Fuel+ should you choose?

Model	Frame	Motor / battery	Rear / front travel	Weight (M)
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+ EX 9.8 XT Di2	OCLV Mountain carbon	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	145 / 150 mm	not disclosed
Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2	OCLV Mountain carbon	TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh	150 / 160 mm	19.79 kg

Our take: at 20.10 kg in M, the 9.8 XT is 280 g lighter than the RockShox-equipped 9.8 Eagle 90. If you are torn between Fox and RockShox, the choice will mainly come down to feel and adjustment.

LVR sizing advice

If you are between two sizes, the shorter one makes the bike more agile on twisting singletrack, the longer one more composed in fast rock gardens. Dropper travel follows the size 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
