Top of the range, the Trek Fuel+ EX 9.9 X0 AXS Gen 2 pairs a SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type derailleur and a RockShox Reverb AXS dropper, both wireless, with the TQ HPR60 motor and 580 Wh battery. OCLV Mountain carbon frame, RockShox Ultimate 145 / 150 mm suspension, Bontrager Line Pro 30 wheels. Trek has not published a weight for this version: as a benchmark, take the 20.10 kg in size M of the 9.8 XT, which shares its frame and motor. The Gloss Navy Smoke/Matte Trek Black colourway features a glossy navy with smoky nuances, set off with matt black.

For the rider who wants a clean cockpit, with no rubbing housing or slackening cable, and who loves the feeling of a bike where every control responds to the lightest press of the thumb.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. Trek has been pressing and curing its OCLV fibres since 1992; the Mountain version reinforces the areas exposed to rocks. On the 9.9, this frame also gets carbon wheels, handlebar and saddle rails. Trek lifetime warranty.

| What it means | The best equipped, fully wireless | Same motor, heavier frame | Less torque |
Put simply: same frame and same motor as the 9.8 models, with fully wireless SRAM, carbon wheels and RockShox Ultimate. Weight not published by Trek; benchmark 20.10 kg (9.8 XT, M).
The derailleur and Reverb AXS communicate with their controls by radio; there is no longer any housing to route through the frame, which removes a source of noise and friction. The small SRAM batteries supplied with their charger are the same model on both components, which is handy if one runs flat.
The T-Type derailleur bolts directly onto the axle via the UDH hanger, with no intermediate hanger to bend on the first rock. In the rock gardens of the Espinouse, that is real peace of mind. The TQ motor, limited to 25 km/h and 250 W so it remains an e-bike in the legal sense, completes the package.
| 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 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: the 9.9 X0 AXS is the only Fuel+ EX where both the derailleur and the dropper are wireless. The 9.8 XT Di2 is limited to the electronic derailleur; the 9.8 Eagle 90, 20.38 kg in M, keeps the RockShox Ultimate suspension with cable-operated mechanics.

LVR sizing advice Between two sizes, the smaller one favours agility in technical terrain, the larger one stability at speed. The Reverb AXS goes from 150 mm in S to 175 mm in M and 200 mm from L upwards; the S runs a 29 / 27.5 setup.
