With its 170 mm RockShox ZEB Ultimate fork, Vivid Ultimate shock for 150 mm of rear travel and four-piston SRAM Maven Silver brakes, the Trek Fuel+ MX 9.9 X0 AXS is a lightweight e-MTB that is not afraid of steep slopes. The TQ HPR60 motor and its 580 Wh battery take the rider back to the top. Trek has not published a weight for this version; benchmark: the 9.8 XT Di2, with an identical frame and motor, at 19.79 kg in size M. The Carbon Smoke/Lithium Grey Marble comes in a smoky anthracite grey marbled with lithium grey.

For the rider who strings together technical descents and uses the motor as a personal ski lift, at the region's enduro spots or on the slopes of the Caroux. It will suit anyone weighing it up against a heavier enduro e-MTB who wants to keep a lively bike.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. OCLV is Trek's long-standing carbon know-how: moulding under pressure and heat that expels the air trapped between the plies and gives a dense, uniform material. For its mountain bikes, Trek offers it as OCLV Mountain, with reinforcements in the areas exposed to rocks and crashes. The Fuel+ MX 9.9 X0 AXS pairs this frame, covered by a lifetime warranty, with carbon wheels and a carbon cockpit, the most accomplished build in the MX series.

| Philosophy | Lightweight e-MTB, comfortable reserve | The most natural, shorter range | Power and a big battery |
Put simply: the 9.9 X0 AXS is the best-equipped Fuel+ MX: Line Pro 30 carbon wheels, carbon handlebar, wireless derailleur, 170 mm RockShox ZEB Ultimate fork and Vivid Ultimate shock. Trek does not publish its weight; the closest benchmark remains the 9.8 XT Di2 at 19.79 kg in M.
The ZEB Ultimate, with its air spring and ButterCups that filter out small vibrations, keeps the front end stable in rock gardens and on steps. The Vivid Ultimate, a shock designed for hard terrain, stays consistent when the descent goes on and on.
The four-piston Maven Silver brakes on 200 mm HS2 rotors offer high power and a consistent feel, useful when the heat builds on the long descents towards Lamalou-les-Bains. On the climbs, the TQ assist stops at 25 km/h and stays limited to 250 W nominal, as European law requires.
| Model | Motor / battery | Rear / front travel | Drivetrain | Weight (M) |
| Fuel+ EX 9.9 X0 AXS | TQ HPR60, 580 Wh | 145 / 150 mm | Wireless SRAM X0 Eagle AXS | not disclosed |
| Fuel+ MX 9.8 XT Di2 | TQ HPR60, 580 Wh | 150 / 160 mm | Wireless Shimano XT Di2 | 19.79 kg |
| Fuel+ MX 9.9 X0 AXS | TQ HPR60, 580 Wh | 150 / 170 mm | Wireless SRAM X0 Eagle AXS | not disclosed |
| Fuel+ LX 9.8 Eagle 90 | TQ HPR60, 580 Wh | 160 / 170 mm | SRAM Eagle 90 T-Type | 20.88 kg |
Our take: for descending, the 9.9 X0 AXS and the 9.8 Eagle 90 offer the same RockShox Ultimate suspension, with 170 mm up front. If you are aiming for pure enduro, the Fuel+ LX 9.8 Eagle 90 steps up to 160 mm at the rear for 20.88 kg in M.

LVR sizing advice Between two sizes, the more compact one suits riders who like to play with the terrain, the larger one those looking for stability at high speed. The Fox Transfer NEO dropper goes from 150 mm in S to 175 mm in M and 200 mm from L upwards.

| Enough travel for enduro? | For recreational enduro, yes; for full-on enduro, the Fuel+ LX adds more rear travel. |
| What are the ButterCups for? | They are elastomer elements in the fork that reduce fine vibrations. |
| Do the Mavens hold up on long descents? | Yes, four pistons and 200 mm rotors; a regular bleed keeps them consistent. |
| Is the grey understated? | Yes, the smoky grey and its lithium grey marbling stay sober and technical. |
|
The LVR Cycles verdict A Fuel+ MX that owns its taste for descending, with RockShox Ultimate suspension and powerful Maven brakes, without giving up the lightness of the TQ motor. The marbled smoky grey reinforces its technical look.
