Trek Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT Di2 Navy Smoke: electronic shifting on a lightweight e-MTB

The Trek Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT Di2 Gen 2 pairs the OCLV Mountain carbon frame with a wireless Shimano XT Di2 M8260 derailleur, the TQ HPR60 motor, a 580 Wh battery and Fox Factory 145 / 150 mm suspension. Trek has not published a weight for this version; the Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT, with an identical carbon frame and TQ drive system, weighs 20.10 kg in size M. Its Gloss Navy Smoke/Matte Trek Black finish lays a glossy smoked navy over a matt black base.

Who is it for?

For the mountain biker won over by electronics, who wants precise, programmable gear changes with no cable to adjust. It will suit anyone who rides a lot and wants a drivetrain that performs consistently ride after ride.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. OCLV is a moulding process in which heat and pressure fuse the fibre plies together without leaving any air, used by Trek for more than three decades. Its Mountain version is engineered for the terrain: it withstands the impacts an electric mountain bike takes, being heavier than a conventional one. Trek lifetime warranty on the frame.

	Carbon Fuel+ EX (9.7 to 9.9)	Aluminium Fuel+ EX 8	Fuel EXe (previous generation)
Level	Trek mountain bike carbon	High-end alloy	Former lightweight platform
Construction	Impact-resistant OCLV Mountain	Alpha NEXT Platinum	HPR50 with 50 Nm, 360 Wh
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	Basis of the Di2, same frame	1.58 kg heavier than the 9.8 XT	More modest assist

Put simply: the 9.8 XT Di2 carries over the frame, motor, Fox Factory suspension and brakes of the 9.8 XT; only the derailleur switches to wireless electronic shifting. Trek does not publish its weight, so the 9.8 XT at 20.10 kg in M remains the benchmark.

On an e-MTB, the chain transmits both the rider's effort and the motor's: a crisp gear change limits jolts and protects the drivetrain. Di2 shifts with the same precision whatever the mud or dust, since there is no cable to get clogged.

With no derailleur cable, the cockpit is cleaner and internal routing through the frame is simpler. We pair and configure the Di2 when you collect the bike, along with the update of the TQ motor, whose assist cuts out at 25 km/h as on any type-approved e-bike.

Which Fuel+ should you choose?

Model	Frame	Motor / battery	Rear / front travel	Weight (M)
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+ EX 9.9 X0 AXS	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: only the derailleur sets this Di2 apart from the cable-operated 9.8 XT, the benchmark at 20.10 kg in M. Stepping up to the 9.9 X0 AXS means paying for the wireless dropper, carbon wheels and Maven Silver brakes.

LVR sizing advice

Between two sizes, the smaller one suits you if you like to play with the terrain, the larger one if you ride fast and far. The S runs a 29 / 27.5 setup with a 150 mm dropper, the M 170 mm, the larger sizes 200 mm.

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
