Technical specifications

Who is it for?

For the experienced mountain biker who rides a lot, knows their set-up preferences and wants the best original equipment, without having to change wheels, cockpit or seatpost in the months after purchase.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV Mountain carbon, Trek's signature. At the top of the Fuel MX range, the 9.9 X0 AXS keeps the OCLV Mountain carbon frame of the 9.8: a mountain bike carbon compacted under heat and pressure, with fibres laid out to withstand repeated impacts rather than break lightness records. What sets it apart is the kit fitted around it: carbon wheels, carbon handlebar and wireless electronics. Trek lifetime warranty on the frame.

Put simply: on a 9.9, it is no longer the frame that makes the difference but the parts that complete it. The Line Pro 30 carbon wheels and the Race Face ERA cockpit reduce rotating mass and weight up front, which you feel above all when changing direction and accelerating.

The Line Pro 30 carbon wheels reduce rotating mass, which you feel at every acceleration out of corners and over successive bumps. The 800 mm Race Face ERA carbon handlebar dampens some of the scree vibrations before they reach your wrists, delaying forearm fatigue.

The Fox Transfer Neo dropper post is operated without a cable, like the SRAM X0 AXS derailleur: the cockpit keeps only the brake hoses and becomes very clean. We configure these electronic components and update their firmware at handover.

Which Fuel should you choose?

Our take: the Fuel EX 9.9 X0 AXS, claimed at 14.08 kg in M, makes do with 145/150 mm; this MX adds 5 mm at the rear and 20 mm up front. Compared with the MX 9.8 XT Di2, it brings the 170 mm fork and carbon wheels.
