The Trek Fuel EX 9.9 X0 AXS T-Type Gen 6 2025 is the previous-generation flagship Fuel EX — full carbon frame, SRAM's wireless X0 Eagle AXS drivetrain, and Fox Factory suspension, now at a 2025 price point.
WHO THIS BIKE SUITS
You want flagship-level Fuel EX performance at a lower price than the current Gen 7 model.
You want SRAM's wireless AXS shifting and don't need this year's frame updates.
You're comfortable buying the previous generation to get a better price on the same core performance.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
If you want the newest frame updates and the latest suspension platform, the Gen 7 Fuel EX 9.9 is the current equivalent.
If wireless shifting isn't essential, the Gen 7 Fuel EX 9.8 XT gives you similar performance with mechanical shifting for less.
WHERE IT SITS IN THE RANGE
As the outgoing Gen 6 flagship, this Fuel EX 9.9 carries the same premium build as the current 9.9 — full carbon frame, Fox Factory 36 fork, and SRAM's wireless Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain — at a price that reflects the model year.
HOW IT RIDES
Suspension
Fox Factory 36 fork with GRIP X2 damper and matched Fox rear shock — genuinely premium suspension performance.
Drivetrain
SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type shifts wirelessly and consistently, even under load.
Brakes
SRAM Maven Silver four-piston brakes give confident stopping power on demanding descents.

This Gen 6 Fuel EX 9.9 is a genuine opportunity to get flagship-level performance at a 2025 price. Come in and talk to us about how it compares to the current Gen 7 line-up.
