Trek Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Lichen Green: from a conventional mountain bike to a lightweight e-MTB

For anyone who has ridden a conventional mountain bike for years, the Trek Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT is a gentle transition: compact 60 Nm TQ HPR60 motor, 580 Wh battery, OCLV Mountain carbon frame and mechanical Shimano XT drivetrain just like on a non-assisted bike. It runs 150 mm at the rear and 160 mm up front. Trek has not published a weight for this version: the 9.8 XT Di2, which shares the frame and motor, serves as a benchmark at 19.79 kg in size M. The Lichen Green/Keswick Green Splatter lays rich Keswick green splashes over a soft lichen green.

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 HPR60 was designed to fade into the background: it runs quietly and its progressive assist feels like pedalling with better legs rather than being pushed. The motor delivers 250 W nominal and stops assisting at 25 km/h, in line with European regulations.

The Fox Factory 36 fork and its GRIP X2 damper separate the compression and rebound adjustments at high and low speed, much appreciated on the rock slabs and steps of the garrigue around Béziers. Paired with the Float X shock, it delivers the ride of the best trail bikes, with the added reserve of a motor for the climbs.

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: compared with a non-assisted mountain bike, there is a weight difference, but the Fuel+ MX stays firmly in the lightweight e-MTB camp: 19.79 kg in M for the Di2 version, against 23.73 kg for a Rail+ 9.7 with an 800 Wh Bosch battery.

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

Can you hear the motor?	Very little: the HPR60 is appreciated for how discreet it is on the trail.
What happens above 25 km/h?	The assist cuts out and you pedal as on a conventional mountain bike.
How should the battery be stored in winter?	In a dry place, at room temperature and neither full nor empty; we teach you the right habits.
Is the lichen green flashy?	Fairly soft, it is brought to life by splashes of a deeper green.

The LVR Cycles verdict

The ideal Fuel+ MX for moving from a conventional mountain bike to assist without losing the riding feel. Its lichen green speckled with Keswick green gives it a fresh, natural personality.

Pros
+ Discreet, progressive assist
+ Highly adjustable Fox Factory GRIP X2
+ Original green colourway

Cons
- Weight not published by Trek
- Aluminium handlebar and wheels
