Trek Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90 Sedona Red: made for red earth

On its Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium base, the Gen 7 Trek Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90 combines 150 mm of Lyrik Ultimate at the front, 145 mm of Super Deluxe Ultimate at the rear, SRAM Maven Bronze brakes and Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II tyres. Trek quotes 16.58 kg for size M. The Matte Sedona Red/Pennyflake Splatter paint is a matt terracotta red splashed with copper flakes, the exact colour of the Salagou trails.

Who is it for?

For the mountain biker who loves fast, slippery tracks, loose ground and hard-leaned corners, and who does a few rides a year on regional enduro courses without wanting a dedicated bike. It suits an already confident rider looking for a playful yet tough bike.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha aluminium, Trek's expertise. For the Gen 7 Fuel, Trek did not keep the new features for carbon alone: its most refined alloy, Alpha NEXT Platinum, gets the same modular platform. The rocker and lower shock mount can be swapped to change the geometry and end-stroke behaviour, and the ABP pivot on the rear axle helps the suspension stay active when you brake. Storage is hidden in the down tube.

	Alpha Silver	Alpha NEXT Platinum	OCLV Mountain
Level	Trek's entry-level alloy	The most refined of the Alpha alloys	Trek's mountain bike carbon
Construction	Alpha aluminium, hardtail frame	Alpha aluminium, adjustable Fuel platform	OCLV process tuned for impacts
Reference bike	Marlin 4 to 7	Fuel EX 5, 8 and 9	Fuel EX 9.8 and 9.9
What it means	Simple and affordable, no rear suspension	4.95 kg frameset in M, tough and more affordable	3.31 kg frameset in M, 1.64 kg less

Put simply: this Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90 puts the money into suspension, brakes and tyres rather than the frame. With equivalent suspension, the carbon of a Fuel EX 9.8 saves weight, not descending performance.

On the red earth of the Salagou and the trails of Lodève, the ground rolls like ball bearings: the MaxxGrip Minion DHF at the front holds grip in corners, while the MaxxTerra DHR II at the rear brakes well and lasts longer. With EXO+ casings, these tyres handle low pressure without pinching on rocks.

The Maven Bronze brakes, with a 200 mm front rotor, offer power that lets you brake later and shorter. Their mineral oil is easy to bleed; we do a first check bleed after a few rides, once the pads are bedded in.

Which Fuel should you choose?

Model	Frame	Fork / rear	Drivetrain	Weight (M)
Fuel EX 8	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	Fox Rhythm 36, 150 / 145 mm	SRAM Eagle 70 1x12	16.58 kg
Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	RockShox Lyrik Ultimate, 150 / 145 mm	SRAM Eagle 90 1x12	16.58 kg
Fuel EX 9 XT	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	Fox Factory 36, 150 / 145 mm	Shimano XT 1x12	17.14 kg
Fuel EX 9 X0 AXS	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	RockShox Lyrik Ultimate, 150 / 145 mm	SRAM X0 AXS T-Type 1x12	not disclosed

Our take: at 16.58 kg in M, this Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90 is 310 g lighter than the Fuel EX 8 and 560 g lighter than the Fuel EX 9 XT. For wireless shifting, look at the Fuel EX 9 X0 AXS.

LVR sizing advice

Between two sizes, we recommend the smaller one if you like playing with the terrain, the larger one if you want stability at high speed. The Line Dropper post goes from 150 mm in S to 200 mm in L and XL; the S rolls on a 27.5-inch rear wheel.

Size	M	L
Rider height (cm)	165-177	177-188
Inseam (cm)	79-83	84-89
Dropper post (mm)	170	200
Wheels front / rear (in)	29 / 29	29 / 29

Your questions

Enough tyre for enduro?	Yes for occasional riding; for racing, a thicker rear casing is recommended.
How do I bed in the Maven brakes?	Around twenty progressive stops on the flat, before the first descent.
Is matt red easy to look after?	Yes, with a gentle cleaner; avoid polishing products on the matt areas.
Which sizes for this colour?	M and L in the Trek data.

The LVR Cycles verdict

A Fuel EX 9 made for drifting and braking hard, with Maxxis tyres and Maven brakes built for fast descents. Its matt Sedona red with coppery highlights is a real aesthetic success.

Pros
+ Maxxis MaxxGrip at the front
+ Powerful Maven Bronze brakes
+ Terracotta red with copper flakes

Cons
- 16.58 kg in M
- Slow tyres on long fast-rolling tracks
