Trek Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Gloss Navy Smoke: electric all-mountain with simple mechanics

The Trek Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT is an all-mountain electric mountain bike in OCLV Mountain carbon, driven by the 60 Nm TQ HPR60 motor and a 580 Wh battery, with 150 mm of rear travel and a 160 mm Fox Factory 36 fork. On the scales, weight not published by Trek for this version; benchmark: the 9.8 XT Di2, with the same frame and drive system, weighs 19.79 kg in size M.

Who is it for?

For the mountain biker who wants a motor's help on long climbs without giving up a bike they can maintain themselves: cable changes, indexing adjustment, parts available everywhere. Also ideal for bikepacking, far from any workshop.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. OCLV is the name of Trek's carbon know-how: a moulding process in which pressure and temperature eliminate air trapped between the fibre plies, for a dense wall with no weak points. The Mountain branch of this carbon accepts a few extra grams in exchange for better resistance to rock strikes and crashes. The Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT uses it to create a frame that houses a 580 Wh TQ battery you remove for charging, with a very compact HPR60 motor, and that Trek covers with a lifetime warranty.

	Fuel+ (TQ HPR60)	Fuel EXe (TQ HPR50)	Rail+ (Bosch CX)
Motor torque	60 Nm (350 W peak)	50 Nm	Bosch Performance Line CX
Battery	580 Wh removable	360 Wh	PowerTube 800 Wh
Reference weight (M)	19.79 kg (MX 9.8 XT Di2)	19.33 kg (EXe 9.7)	23.73 kg (Rail+ 9.7)
What it means	Balance between lightness and range	Lighter, less range	More battery, noticeably heavier

Put simply: the Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT keeps the essentials of the MX with electronic shifting, carbon frame, TQ motor and Fox Factory suspension, but goes back to a cable-operated Shimano XT derailleur. With no published weight for this version, the reference remains the 9.8 XT Di2, identical apart from the drivetrain: 19.79 kg in size M.

The TQ HPR60 motor stands out for its discretion: compact and quiet, it delivers 60 Nm and up to 350 W peak, then fades out at 25 km/h as European e-bike regulations require, with 250 W nominal. On the long tracks climbing to the ridges of the Espinouse, this measured assist keeps the pedalling natural and spares the 580 Wh battery.

With an M8200 derailleur and an XT 10-51 cassette, the drivetrain handles the motor's torque while remaining easy to put right: a clean cable and housing are enough to restore crisp shifting.

Which Fuel+ should you choose?

Model	Motor / battery	Rear / front travel	Drivetrain	Weight (M)
Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT	TQ HPR60, 580 Wh	145 / 150 mm	Mechanical Shimano XT	20.10 kg
Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT	TQ HPR60, 580 Wh	150 / 160 mm	Mechanical Shimano XT	not disclosed
Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2	TQ HPR60, 580 Wh	150 / 160 mm	Wireless Shimano XT Di2	19.79 kg
Fuel+ LX 9.8 XT	TQ HPR60, 580 Wh	160 / 170 mm	Mechanical Shimano XT	not disclosed

Our take: the 9.8 XT and the 9.8 XT Di2 share the frame, motor, battery and Fox Factory suspension; only the derailleur changes. Compared with the Fuel+ EX 9.8 XT (145 / 150 mm, 20.10 kg in M), the MX adds 5 mm at the rear and 10 mm up front.

LVR sizing advice

Between two sizes, the smaller one makes the Fuel+ MX livelier through switchbacks, the larger one more composed as speed rises. The dropper post goes from 150 mm in S to 200 mm from L upwards, and all sizes run 29-inch up front and 27.5 at the rear.

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 / 27.5	29 / 27.5	29 / 27.5	29 / 27.5

Your questions

Why is there no official weight?	Trek has not published it for this version; the 9.8 XT Di2, with the same frame and motor, weighs 19.79 kg in M.
Can the battery be removed?	Yes, the 580 Wh TQ battery is removable, handy for charging indoors.
Is the drivetrain suited to an e-MTB?	Yes, the 12-speed XT copes with the assist; we check chain wear more often.
Is the navy understated?	Yes, this glossy smoky blue looks almost black in the shade and brightens in the sun.

The LVR Cycles verdict

A light, rational all-mountain e-MTB that leaves the handling to the carbon frame and Fox Factory suspension and keeps a drivetrain you can repair yourself. The smoky navy over matt black gives it an understated, polished look.

Pros
+ Quiet, compact TQ motor
+ Easy-going mechanical XT drivetrain
+ Elegant smoky navy

Cons
- Weight not published by Trek
- Line Comp 30 alloy wheels
