2026 TREK FUEL LX 9 EA90 Lithium Grey/Trek Black Splatter | Trail Bikes
Born for the Chaos
The Fuel LX 9.9 X0 AXS Gen 7 is our top carbon trail bike, born for the chaos and topped with the best components. Its OCLV Mountain Carbon frame partners with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock (160 mm rear, 170 mm front) for going all-out on the wiliest lines on the mountain. A SRAM X0 AXS transmission gives you clean and crisp shifting, even on the punchiest climbs, while SRAM Maven Silver 4-piston brakes provide incredible modulation and power. It's topped off with a Fox Transfer NEO dropper post and carbon Bontrager Line Pro wheels.
Fuel LX
The Fuel LX uses the same lower shock mount as the Fuel EX for a 29-inch rear wheel, but pairs it with an LX rocker link. Complete Fuel LX builds come with a longer, 65 mm stroke shock. Pair that with the LX rocker and you get 160 mm of rear travel with the Fuel’s most progressive leverage rate for the most aggressive riding.
Open triangle
An open front triangle gives you loads of room for stashing big water bottles and additional accessories, like frame bags or mini pumps.
Adjustable leverage rate
Tweak your leverage rate with the flip of a chip. Go less progressive for a plusher feel when you’re deep in the travel or more progressive for big features, more bottom out resistance, or running a coil shock.

A quieter ride
Meticulously engineered chainstay guards keep your ride quieter through the rough, while updated downtube guards protect from rock strikes.
Burly by Nature
Want a build that’s burly by nature? The Fuel LX is a long-travel trail smasher with 160/170 mm (rear/front) travel and a full 29er set-up. You get more travel for the rowdiest, roughest terrain – plus, it’s ideal for ripping a coil shock.
