Trek Fuel EX 9 XT Di2 Sedona Red: ready for regional raids

A long event demands a bike that is still precise in the fifth hour: the Trek Fuel EX 9 XT Di2 Gen 7 delivers with its electronic Shimano XT Di2 groupset, its 145 mm rear and 150 mm front handled by Fox Factory, and its XT brakes. The Alpha NEXT Platinum frame brings the total to 16.88 kg in M according to Trek. Matte Sedona Red/Pennyflake Splatter colourway: a matt brick red scattered with copper flecks.

Who is it for?

Built for the weekend racer who takes part in regional raids and marathons on rough courses and wants a bike that is comfortable and precise over several hours of effort. It is aimed at riders who value consistency over outright lightness.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha aluminium, Trek's expertise. The Fuel EX 9 XT Di2 pairs Shimano's electronic groupset with Trek's most advanced aluminium, Alpha NEXT Platinum, the top tier above Alpha Platinum and Alpha Silver. The frame retains all the Gen 7 options: adjustable progression, geometry changes via interchangeable parts, a down tube storage hatch, a ZS headset and an easy-to-maintain threaded BSA bottom bracket.

	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: the Di2 version weighs 16.88 kg in M, 260 g less than the mechanical Fuel EX 9 XT, with identical suspension and brakes. The aluminium frame remains 1.64 kg heavier than the carbon kit, but it gives you electronics without moving to carbon.

On a raid lasting several hours, the consistent precision of Di2 avoids missed shifts when fatigue sets in. The 145 mm of rear travel limits muscle fatigue on rough courses, where a cross-country bike shakes you around more.

Before a raid, we check the drivetrain charge, tyre condition and brake bleed. The stock Maxxis Minion tyres prioritise grip; for a very fast-rolling raid, faster tyres may be worth considering.

Which Fuel should you choose?

Model	Frame	Fork / rear	Drivetrain	Weight (M)
Fuel EX 9 XT	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	Fox Factory 36, 150 / 145 mm	Shimano XT 1x12	17.14 kg
Fuel EX 9 XT Di2	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	Fox Factory 36, 150 / 145 mm	Shimano XT Di2 1x12	16.88 kg
Fuel EX 9 X0 AXS	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	RockShox Lyrik Ultimate, 150 / 145 mm	SRAM X0 AXS T-Type 1x12	not disclosed
Fuel EX 9.8 XT	OCLV Mountain carbon	Fox Factory 36, 150 / 145 mm	Shimano XT 1x12	15.28 kg

Our take: on a raid, every gram is paid for on the climbs: the carbon 9.8 XT version is 1.6 kg lighter than this model. Conversely, the cable-operated XT adds 260 g.

LVR sizing advice

If you are between two sizes, go for the smaller if your trails are slow and technical, the larger if you prioritise speed and stability. Post travel follows frame size; the S gets a 27.5-inch rear wheel to keep clearance.

Size	S	M	L	XL
Rider height (cm)	155-165	165-177	177-188	188-195
Inseam (cm)	74-78	79-83	84-89	89-91
Dropper post (mm)	150	170	200	200
Wheels front / rear (in)	29 / 27.5	29 / 29	29 / 29	29 / 29

Your questions

Suitable for raids?	Yes, especially on rough courses: the comfort makes up for the weight.
Should I change the tyres for a raid?	On a fast-rolling raid, quicker tyres can save you time.
Which sizes in this colour?	S, M, L and XL.
Is the Sedona red delicate?	No, this flecked matt red copes well with raid dust.
