Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS

The Fuel EXe 9.8 GX AXS takes an evolved approach to e-mountain biking with a streamlined new motor that packs in space-age technology in a tiny-but-mighty package. It’s built on a carbon fibre 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, wireless shifting technology of SRAM GX AXS and silky-smooth suspension of a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork and SuperDeluxe Select+ rear suspension.
