FS: Fuel EX 9.8 XT with XTR Upgrades

[Mark]

Screaming deal! Selling for $3,000 (total cost was $8210+)

I’m (reluctantly) selling my 2022 Fuel EX 9.8 XT (with many XTR upgrades see below) to help fund a new “groad” bike. It's a Medium/Large (Trek says for riders 5'8" to 5'11" I'm 5'10" and it fits like a glove).

This sweet ride has relatively few hours on it and it wasn’t ridden in 2024 or 2025 at all.

Looking to send it to a new home where it’ll be enjoyed as it deserves.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Cheers – Mark
