The Top Fuel 9.8 is a lightweight carbon trail bike built to rip up climbs and stay playful on descents. It gives you the confidence you want through roots and rocks, thanks to a 120 mm/130 mm (rear/front) RockShox suspension package with a Pike Select+ fork and Deluxe Ultimate shock. Plus, you get ultra-smooth and fast shifts from a 12-speed Shimano XT Di2 wireless drivetrain.
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a 4-way Mino Link lower shock mount for tweaking geometry and suspension leverage rate. A 130 mm RockShox Pike Select+ fork with DebonAir spring, and Charger 3.1 RC2 damper, plus 120 mm of rear travel from a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock. Shimano's all-new XT Di2 wireless 12-speed drivetrain, Shimano XT 4-piston hydraulic brakes, Bontrager Line dropper post, and tubeless-ready Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels.
