The Fuel LX 9 XT is a hard-charging trail bike built for rowdy laps and hair-raising descents. It pairs an adaptable Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminium frame with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock (160 mm rear, 170 mm front) for rolling into steeper than steep lines packed with mine fields of boulders. Shimano's wireless XT Di2 drivetrain delivers ultra-crisp, customisable shifting in a light, robust package and 4-piston XT M8200 brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-penny power.
