The 2023 Trek Fuel EXe 9.7 is a lightweight e-MTB that blends the feel of a traditional trail bike with the subtle boost of electric assist. Its OCLV Mountain Carbon frame houses the compact TQ harmonic pin ring motor, delivering quiet, natural-feeling support paired with a 360Wh battery for long trail sessions. With 150mm of front travel and 140mm in the rear, it strikes a balance between climbing efficiency and descending confidence. Outfitted with Shimano’s XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain, powerful four-piston brakes, and tubeless-ready wheels, the Fuel EXe 9.7 is built for riders who want modern trail capability with an assist that feels almost invisible.
