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 smooth-shifting performance of a direct mount transmission.
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 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. A SRAM GX Eagle wireless transmission, SRAM Level Bronze 4-piston hydraulic brakes, Bontrager Line dropper post and tubeless-ready Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels.
The final word
If you're after a light carbon trail bike that balances a playful and capable ride, reach for the Top Fuel 9.8 GX AXS 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 a wireless SRAM GX AXS transmission and sweet RockShox suspension package.

"Increased versatility and broader appeal"
"The added ability to fiddle, with not just head/seat angle and BB height, but also play with shock progression AND maybe even long-stroke the bike for more travel is appealing."

"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 even more in love with the bike."

"light, lively and efficient"
"... the Top Fuel stands out for being just a touch more composed and forgiving (in terms of its suspension performance) than most of the bikes that it compares most directly to on paper."
