Fuel EX 9.9 XX1 AXS is a performance-first trail bike built for riders who have an appreciation for the finest things in life. It combines a cream of the crop carbon frame with top-tier components, from the carbon fiber wheels all the way up to the 150mm Kashima-coated FOX Factory fork, and fully wireless SRAM XX1 drivetrain. Its a bike that rules the mountain and doesnt hesitate to lay claim to its domain, ripping up rock gardens, blasting berms, and rocketing back to the top to conquer it all once again.
You care about the finer things in life, like silky-smooth suspension that feels greater than the sum of its numbers, and fully wireless shifting that keep your setup tidy and low maintenance
You can tackle any trail on the mountain with its progressive geometry that makes light work of steep, punchy climbs, and turns around to rally the descents
It comes with light and stiff carbon wheels that make quick work of technical terrain and keep you on your line, even when things get hairy
We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders, and use the best-fitting wheels for each frame size: XS frames get 27.5Ë wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5Ë or 29Ë, and sizes M and up get 29Ë wheels
With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
Internal Storage
Internal frame storage makes it easy to ditch the pack and still carry your ride essentials.
Active Braking Pivot
Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most.
Slack or steep, the choice is yours
Install angle adjust headset cups (sold separately) to tweak the 64.5-degree head tube angle a degree steeper or slacker to your liking — all without impacting your bottom bracket height.
Adjust the sus for full send
Adjust leverage rate with just a flip of a chip. Ride it in the Less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails with square-edge bumps. Flip it to More progressive when youre hitting big features and don’t want to bottom-out, or when you want to run a coil shock.
Size-specific stays
Size-specific chainstays provide balanced handling to keep the ride nimble for smaller riders and improve front wheel traction on climbs for taller riders.
Business in the front, party in the back
Craving the nimble ride of 27.5Ë wheels but don’t want to sacrifice the speed of a 29er? No need to choose. Fuel EX is mullet-ready, just throw Mino Link in high, toss on a 160mm fork, and get ready to party.
