Carbon full-suspension electric mountain bike Trek Fuel+ EX 9.9 X0 AXS lichen green: TQ HPR60 580 Wh, 145/150 mm

Trek Fuel+ EX 9.9 X0 AXS Lichen Green: the comfort of carbon contact points

The Trek Fuel+ EX 9.9 X0 AXS Gen 2 pays close attention to its contact points: an 800 mm Race Face ERA carbon handlebar, a 40 mm Race Face Turbine R stem and a Trek Aeolus Pro saddle with carbon rails. It combines the TQ HPR60 motor, a 580 Wh battery, RockShox Ultimate 145 / 150 mm suspension and a wireless SRAM X0 Eagle AXS drivetrain. Trek has not published a weight for this version, but the 9.8 XT, built on the same frame with the same motor, serves as a reference: 20.10 kg in size M. The Lichen Green/Keswick Green Splatter colour scatters flecks of rich green over a bright lichen green.

Technical specifications

Who is it for?

For the mountain biker who heads out for long days and cares about comfort for the hands and the backside, without giving up a high-end bike that is very precise on descents.

The LVR workshop view

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.

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 ERA carbon handlebar dampens the vibrations transmitted to your hands, and the short 40 mm stem keeps the steering sharp. After several hours in the rock gardens of the Montagne Noire, you feel the difference in your forearms.

The 145 mm wide Aeolus Pro saddle with carbon rails offers good support on the long seated climbs that the TQ assist makes possible. The assist, capped at 250 W and 25 km/h in line with e-bike rules, helps you along without being abrupt.

Which Fuel+ should you choose?

Our take: among the Fuel+ EX models, only the 9.9 combines a carbon handlebar, carbon saddle rails and carbon wheels. It shares its frame and motor with the 9.8 XT (20.10 kg in M); the 9.8 Eagle 90 (20.38 kg) keeps the same RockShox Ultimate suspension.
