At the heart of the Trek Fuel EX 9 XT Gen 7, the Fox Factory 36 fork with GRIP X2 cartridge (150 mm) and the Fox Factory Float X shock (145 mm) offer very fine adjustment, on an Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium frame. Mechanical Shimano XT 1x12 and 4-piston XT brakes equip this bike, which weighs 17.14 kg in size M according to Trek. Matte Sedona Red/Pennyflake Splatter is a matt terracotta red splashed with copper flakes.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha aluminium, Trek's expertise. Alpha is the generic name for Trek's alloys; the NEXT Platinum version, introduced with the Gen 7 Fuel, is the most advanced. This Fuel EX 9 XT benefits from a frame that does more than just be strong: you can change its progression, flip suspension parts to adjust the geometry, slip a repair kit into the down tube and fit a chain guide on the ISCG 05 mounts.

	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

In short: with identical Fox Factory suspension and XT drivetrain, the carbon Fuel EX 9.8 XT weighs 15.28 kg in M, 1.86 kg less than this aluminium version. The extra weight is felt on long climbs, much less once the slope tips downhill.

The GRIP X2 cartridge separates low and high-speed adjustment, for both compression and rebound: enough to tune the fork for small roots as well as big landings. Badly set up, it can be confusing; well set up, it transforms the bike.

We start from a base setting suited to your weight and riding style, then fine-tune it after one or two rides on your usual trails. On the rough descents around Béziers, fast high-speed rebound stops the fork packing down under repeated hits.

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 9.8 XT	OCLV Mountain carbon	Fox Factory 36, 150 / 145 mm	Shimano XT 1x12	15.28 kg

Our take: this Fuel EX 9 XT weighs 17.14 kg, 560 g more than the Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90 with its RockShox Ultimate suspension. The Fuel EX 9 XT Di2 keeps the Fox Factory units and saves 260 g thanks to the electronics.

LVR sizing advice

To choose between two sizes, think about your terrain: the more compact for twisty singletrack, the longer for fast, open descents. The dropper post grows with the frame, up to 200 mm in L and XL; the S switches to 27.5 inches at the rear.

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
