Who is it for?

The mountain biker who keeps their bike for several seasons and prefers tough, repairable kit to light kit will find what they need here. It suits riders who cover a lot of rough terrain and want to keep maintenance costs down.

The LVR workshop view

The Fuel frame in its top-end alloy version. Alpha NEXT Platinum sits at the top of Trek's mountain bike alloy hierarchy, ahead of the Alpha Platinum of the Slash 8 and the Alpha Silver of the Marlin. For a bike exposed to repeated impacts, it is a logical choice. It gets most of the carbon frame's features: progression adjustment, interchangeable rocker link and lower shock mount, ABP pivot, down tube protection and transport protection for bike racks.

	Alpha NEXT Platinum (Fuel LX 9)	OCLV Mountain (Fuel LX 9.8)	Alpha Platinum (Slash 8)
Level	Trek's best MTB aluminium, reserved for Gen 7 Fuels	Trek's mountain bike carbon	Aluminium from the range above
Construction	Alloy engineered for strength, highly adjustable frame	OCLV layup tuned for impact resistance	Tough alloy, simpler kinematics
Reference bike	Gen 7 alloy Fuel EX frameset: 4.95 kg (M)	Gen 7 carbon Fuel EX frameset: 3.31 kg (M)	Complete Slash 8: 16.68 kg (M)
What it means	Takes knocks, more affordable	About 1.6 kg less on the frameset	170 mm alloy enduro, less adjustable

Put simply: aluminium remains the most rational material here for a rider who rides hard and often. It adds weight, around 1.6 kg on the frameset according to Trek, but it takes a season of rough trails without flinching.

The threaded BSA bottom bracket is a real asset in the workshop: no creaking, and simple bearing replacement. The down tube protection limits damage from stones thrown up by the front wheel, common on the tracks around Béziers. The ISCG 05 mounts let you add a chain guide or a bash guard.

On the suspension side, the DHX2 coil shock needs little routine maintenance: no air seal to watch. The Fox 38 fork is serviced according to riding hours. We draw up a maintenance schedule with you to suit your riding.

Which Fuel should you choose?

Model	Frame	Drivetrain	Travel rear / front	Weight (M)
Fuel LX 9 XT	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	Mechanical Shimano XT	160 / 170 mm	17.79 kg
Fuel LX 9 XT Di2	Alpha NEXT Platinum alloy	Wireless Shimano XT Di2	160 / 170 mm	n/a
Slash 8	Alpha Platinum alloy	Mechanical Shimano XT	170 / 170 mm	16.68 kg
Fuel LX 9.8 XT Di2	OCLV Mountain carbon	Wireless Shimano XT Di2	160 / 170 mm	15.97 kg

Our take: built to last, the mechanical LX 9 XT avoids batteries altogether, unlike the LX 9 XT Di2. The carbon LX 9.8 XT Di2 saves 1.82 kg but is more vulnerable to direct impacts.

LVR sizing advice

Four sizes from S to XL, for riders from 155 to 195 cm. On an enduro bike, if you are between two sizes, choose according to your trails: the smaller one turns better, the larger one is reassuring at speed.

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
