Fuel EX 9.9 makes no compromises. Top-shelf suspension, carbon everything and a super-smooth Shimano XTR drive train make this ripper ready to rule any trail in style. It's fast, it's light, and it's got everything you need to crush your next trail ride.
It's right for you if...
You want a bike as versatile as you are, and you're demanding – of yourself and of your equipment. You want the lightest weight, the most adjustability and the highest precision so the last thing you have to worry about on your next adventure is your bike.
The tech you get
A light and stiff OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with internal storage, FOX Factory suspension with Kashima Coat and an efficient yet plush RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft damper. A Shimano XT 1x12 drive train for super-smooth shifting that's easy on the thumb – plus an extra-low 51-tooth climbing gear, and Bontrager carbon wheels and loads of other carbon parts for lower weight and elevated good looks.
The final word
If you can have just one mountain bike, this is it. Fuel EX 9.9 has the lightest parts with the most adjustability and precision. It's equally at home on fast, flowy singletrack, brutal leg-busting climbs and gnarly arm-pumping descents.
Features:
- Fuel EX 9.9 is the single best choice for riders who want an all-mountain ripper that excels at everything from marathon races to burly technical terrain to singletrack
- RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better and keeps you in control
- A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear
- We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders. And, you get the fastest wheel that fits your frame: XS frames get 27.5˝ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5˝ or 29˝ and sizes M to XL get 29˝ wheels
