Description

The Fuel EXe 9.7 redefines e-mountain biking with a revolutionary motor that tucks away neatly for a ride that’s light, lively and just as playful as a traditional mountain bike, with the added benefit of pedal assist to help you crush climbs. An upgraded suspension package pairs with cherry-picked components for snappy shifting and precise modulation on the trail. All that, and a lightweight carbon chassis to keep your ride nimble and stiff with just the right amount of vibration-damping goodness for when the trail gets rowdy.

It’s right for you if…

You want the feel of a playful trail bike, plus a little extra power on the climbs. You want the most bike for your buck, with a premium suspension package and the perfect blend of components. 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.

The tech you get

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame equipped with a fully-encased 360 Wh battery and TQ harmonic pin ring transmission with a smart charging port, integrated LED display and discreet handlebar remote. 150 mm FOX Rhythm 36 fork with Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper, and 140 mm FOX Performance Float X rear suspension. Plus Tubeless Ready wheels and tyres, and a 12-speed drivetrain that blends Shimano SLX and XT components.

The final word

The Fuel EXe 9.7 is a playful trail ride that gives you extra fuel in the tank on climbs, and rides like a traditional bike on descents. It’s packed with the space-age technology of a TQ transmission, 150 mm of buttery-smooth travel for soaking up rock gardens and a drivetrain that gives you upgrades where it matters most.
