Top Fuel 9.8 GX AXS XC Mountain Bike in Carbon Red Smoke/Black

Top Fuel 9.8 is a full suspension carbon mountain bike for riders who don't settle. Not for parts nor for one style of riding. It combines a high-end parts package – including a new SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic drivetrain – with a low-weight carbon frame for one unbelievably fun rig that's fast on flow and fun to ride on techy singletrack.

You’re looking for a do-it-all full-suspension mountain bike that's efficient and fast, but doesn't shy away from some bigger stuff. You want the added stiffness and weight savings of a carbon frame, and want blazing fast wireless electronic shifting.

Pedalworks' take:

Extra Product Details

• 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.
• 120 mm of rear travel combined with progressive trail geometry gives you a fast, responsive ride that helps you keep your cool when the trail turns rowdy.
• Internal frame storage makes it easy to ditch the pack and still carry your ride essentials.
• Guided internal cable routing keeps Top Fuel quiet on the trail and maintenance a breeze.
• The smaller frames (XS and S) have a curved top tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which allows shorter riders to straddle the bike more easily. The larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don't have the same issues with standover height.
