Fuel EX 9 XT is a confident trail bike made to rip into just about anything. It starts with an Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminum frame with a Fox Factory suspension package (145mm rear, 150mm front) that make quick work of tech and flow alike. A Shimano XT drivetrain delivers reliable mechanical shifting, while 4-piston brakes XT M8200 brakes give you the modulation and stopping power you need when things get hairy.Adapt, rip, repeatOnly you can define your perfect trail bike — that's why Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with EX, go pop-happy with MX, or charge through it all with LX.Adjustable leverage rateWant more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.Zero stack integrated headsetWith a ZS standard headset, you've got tons of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodized colors.Storage and accessory mountsStash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all Fuel models — both carbon and alloy. Plus, top tube accessory mounts let you load up even more.Fresh frame designFuel's new frame gives you tons of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags, and more.Active Braking PivotActive Braking Pivot allows our engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently.
