Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS T-Type
The Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS represents a new approach to e-mountain biking: its revolutionary motor, packed with state-of-the-art technology, may be small, but it packs a powerful punch. The basis is a lightweight, stiff and agile carbon frame that provides a dynamic and playful riding experience on the trail. The equipment is rounded off by the wireless SRAM GX AXS transmission and the smooth performance of the Lyrik Select+ suspension fork and SuperDeluxe Select+ shock absorber from RockShox.

Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS T-Type
The Trek Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS T-Type is the perfect fusion of modern e-mountainbike technology and classic trail bike character. With its elegant OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, seamlessly integrated motor and battery, and clean design lines, it looks like a traditional full-suspension bike at first glance – but inside it hides the very latest e-MTB innovation.
It is powered by the TQ-HPR50 motor, delivering 50 Nm of torque and up to 300 watts of peak power. Whisper-quiet and highly efficient, it provides an extremely natural ride feel that subtly amplifies your own pedaling power. The 360 Wh battery is neatly integrated into the downtube, easy to remove, and can be expanded with a 160 Wh range extender – ideal for longer rides. The system is controlled via a minimalist LED display in the top tube and a sleek handlebar remote.
Highlights
- Elegant carbon frame with internal cable routing and Mino-Link geometry adjustment
- TQ-HPR50 motor: quiet, efficient, and natural ride feel
- 360 Wh battery, expandable with 160 Wh range extender
- RockShox Lyrik Select+ & Super Deluxe Ultimate AirWiz – 150/140 mm travel
- SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type 12-speed, wireless & precise
- Bontrager Line Elite 30 carbon wheels, tubeless-ready
- SRAM Code Bronze 4-piston brakes with 200 mm rotors
- Weight: approx. 19 kg – one of the lightest e-trail bikes
For maximum control and comfort, the bike is equipped with premium suspension components: a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork (150 mm travel) at the front and a RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate AirWiz shock (140 mm) at the rear. This setup allows the Fuel EXe to handle even the most demanding trails with playful ease.
The wheels are lightweight yet robust Bontrager Line Elite 30 carbon 29-inch wheels, paired with grippy SE5 Team Issue tubeless tires. A special highlight is the wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type 12-speed drivetrain, offering precise and fast shifting without cables. In combination with the powerful SRAM Code Bronze 4-piston brakes (200 mm rotors), you always have full control.
Weighing in at just around 19 kg, the Trek Fuel EXe is one of the lightest trail e-mountainbikes in its class. The result is agile, playful handling both uphill and downhill – without the sluggish feel many e-bikes suffer from. With its versatility, modern geometry, and exceptionally balanced ride quality, the Fuel EXe impresses testers and riders alike.
