The Fuel EXe 9.8 XT takes an evolved approach to e-mountain bikes with a revolutionary motor that packs space-age technology into a tiny but mighty package. It's built on an OCLV Mountain Carbon chassis that's light, stiff and nimble for a lively and playful trail feel. And to keep a good thing going, it's topped off with carbon wheels, Shimano's clean-shifting and ultra reliable XT drivetrain, and the silky-smooth performance of a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork and SuperDeluxe Select+ rear suspension.

It's right for you if...
You want a lively trail bike that feels like a traditional mountain bike in quick, techy terrain, but gives you a little boost in pedal power on the way back up. What you put on your bike matters to you, so you love the Shimano XT drivetrain and upgraded suspension that keeps you floating on the trail. You don't want to lose out on the natural experience of mountain biking, and want a refined motor that quietly assists while you ride.
