Trek Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT Di2 Lichen Green: electronic precision and Fox suspension on the descents

The Trek Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT Di2 Gen 2 brings together Fox Factory suspension, a 150 mm 36 GRIP X2 and a 145 mm Float X, Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II tyres and a wireless Shimano XT Di2 derailleur. OCLV Mountain carbon frame, TQ HPR60 motor, 580 Wh battery. Trek has not published a weight for this version; for reference, the 9.8 XT, which shares the frame and drive system, weighs 20.10 kg in size M. Its Lichen Green/Keswick Green Splatter finish dots a pastel green with dark green specks, like a woodland floor.

Who is it for?

For the mountain biker who loves technical descents and wants to be able to shift at any moment, even when accelerating hard through a rough section, without fear of dropping the chain.

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.

Di2 shifts with the same precision when the bike is being shaken about: you can drop a gear just before a tight turn or an acceleration, without hesitation. Paired with Maxxis Minion tyres with a MaxxGrip front, the 9.8 XT Di2 stays precise in the rock gardens of the Caroux.

The Fox 36 GRIP X2 and the Float X can be finely tuned; we start from your riding weight with kit and your terrain to establish a base setting. The TQ assist, capped at 25 km/h and 250 W as on any e-bike, is mainly there to get you back up faster so you can link more descents.

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: with suspension identical to the 9.8 XT (20.10 kg in M), the Di2 is justified by its electronic shifting. If you want 150 / 160 mm, the Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2 weighs 19.79 kg in M.

LVR sizing advice
