Overview
It's right for you if...
You're after a carbon trail bike that keeps weight to a minimum without compromising on capability. You like to ride everything – long alpine climbs, rooty aspen slalom, fast XC singletrack, and you want a bike that can keep up on the ups and hold its own on the downs. Keeping things light with a carbon frame is important to you, and you want the light yet precise shifting of a Shimano XTR drivetrain.
The tech you get
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a 4-way Mino Link lower shock mount for tweaking geometry and suspension leverage rate. A 130mm RockShox Pike Ultimate fork with DebonAir spring, and Charger 3.1 RC2 damper, plus 120mm of rear travel from a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock. A Shimano XTR 12-speed drivetrain, Shimano XTR M9100 hydraulic brakes, Bontrager Line dropper post, and tubeless-ready Bontrager Line Pro 30 wheels.
The final word
If you're after a light carbon trail bike that balances a playful and capable ride, reach for Top Fuel 9.8 XTR Gen 4. Its ultra-lightweight frame pairs with a 4-way Mino Link lower suspension mount for taking control of your geometry and suspension feel. Plus, you get clean shifts from a Shimano XTR drivetrain and a sweet RockShox suspension package.

"increased versatility and broader appeal"

"enthusiastic and sporty, offering up impressive pedal efficiency with loads of grip."
"Mind you, it only took a few pedal strokes to appreciate the Top Fuel’s efficient and responsive demeanour.[...]Heading across rockier singletrack, the new bike is noticeably sprightlier and springier than its predecessor."

"Dear lord, this bike is a hoot"
"I keep finding myself on top of bigger moves than Trek would probably recommend for the Top Fuel, and I keep bouncing out the bottom more in love with the bike."

"light, lively, and efficient"
