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 XT 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 Select+ fork with DebonAir spring, and Charger 3.1 RC2 damper, plus 120mm of rear travel from a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock. A Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, Shimano XT 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 Top Fuel 9.8 XT 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 XT drivetrain and a sweet RockShox suspension package.

Just got back from my first ride with the Top Fuel 9.8 XT Gen 4. This thing is seriously amazing! Climbs like a goat and descends with confidence. The components are top-notch. Definitely worth the investment.

I've been riding for years, and this Top Fuel 9.8 XT Gen 4 is hands down the best mountain bike I've ever owned. The frame is incredibly responsive, and the components are super reliable. I've put it through some serious abuse on technical trails, and it handles everything with ease. The geometry is perfect for both climbing and descending, making it a true all-around performer. Plus, it looks amazing! If you're looking for a top-of-the-line mountain bike that can handle anything you throw at it, look no further. You won't be disappointed!
