You have refined taste in mountain bikes, and don’t like to settle. You want a bike built to tackle the whole mountain and rule it all with the finest technology the bike industry has to offer, from its light and stiff carbon frame and wheels that track through the hairiest lines, to the FOX Factory fork and fully wireless SRAM XX1 top-tier groupset.

A featherweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame built to handle the rough and rowdy, a pair of finely laced carbon wheels that track through technical terrain with ease, and SRAM’s top-tier XX1 AXS fully wireless electronic drivetrain. Plus, you get the silky smooth travel of a 150mm FOX Factory 36 Fork with EVOL air spring and GRIP2 damper and 140mm of FOX Factory Float rear suspension with 2-position damper, all topped off with adjustable geometry for fine-tuning your ride to you and internal frame storage that lets you keep your setup tidy without leaving behind trail essentials.
The final word
Fuel EX 9.9 is a bike built to satisfy those with the finest taste. It pairs together an all- mountain trail capable carbon frame with the finest components you’ll find on a modern mountain bike, from its carbon hoops to wireless SRAM XX1 AXS shifting.

Rocky Fella –
My only complaint is that my old wrists are suffering from the rigid handlebars. If I weren’t so old, it wouldn’t bother me. Once I replace the bars, the bike will be perfect
