Fuel LX 9 Eagle 90 is a hard-charging trail bike built for rowdy laps and hair-raising descents. It pairs an adaptable Alpha NEXT Platinum aluminum frame with a Fox Factory 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock (160mm rear, 170mm front) for rolling into steeper than steep lines packed with wheel-eating terrain. It's ready to rip with a SRAM Eagle 90 transmission for fuss-free mechanical shifting that stays smooth under load, and SRAM Maven Bronze 4-piston brakes.
Only you can define your perfect trail bike — that's why Fuel is available in three adjustability-packed configurations. Get do-it-all capability with EX, go pop-happy with MX, or charge through it all with LX.
Want more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.
With a ZS standard headset, you've got tons of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodized colors.
Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all Fuel models — both carbon and alloy. Plus, top tube accessory mounts let you load up even more.
Fuel's new frame gives you tons of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags, and more.
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.
