Top Fuel 9.8 GX AXS T-Type

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 components package–including a SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic transmission–with a low-weight carbon frame for one unbelievably fun rig that's fast on flow and fun to ride on techy singletrack.

It's right for you if...

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.

The tech you get

A light and stiff full carbon frame, 130mm RockShox Pike Select+ fork, 120mm of rear travel with a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock, and a SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic transmission with an extra-low 52-tooth climbing gear. Plus, wide Bontrager Line Elite 30 carbon wheels with a 108-tooth Rapid Drive hub for instant engagement, Bontrager Line Elite Dropper, and Bontrager RSL integrated carbon bar/stem combo.

The final word

Top Fuel 9.8 is a ridiculously fun carbon down-country bike with upgraded parts that give you big benefits on the trail, like more speed from the carbon wheels, more grip from the ultra-smooth suspension, and faster, more precise shifts from the AXS transmission.

Reviews From The Press

This is a really, really good bike

The Top Fuel is a very capable descender, but its well-proportioned geometry is just half the story. It manages to strike a great balance between grip, tracking, and precision. The whole bike seems to just will you on to hit things faster and with more precision.

Features

Hassle-free routing

Guided internal cable routing keeps Top Fuel quiet on the trail and maintenance a breeze.

Quick and in control

120mm 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 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.

Will my bike have a curved top tube?

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. 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.
