The new models of the Claas Axion 900 series were introduced in the autumn of 2017. The flagship was the Axion 960, with a maximum power of 445 hp. The engine was FPT's 8.7-liter Cursor 9, which used SCR technology and featured an adjustable turbocharger as a new addition. The torque was significantly higher than in previous versions. The maximum power was in the range of 1700 to 1900 rpm, and the maximum torque was at 1300 to 1500 rpm. The transmission was ZF's stepless TMG-45, which Claas called CMATIC. A speed of 50 km/h was reached at 1550 rpm. At around 10 km/h, the powertrain was almost 100% mechanical. The standard hydraulic output was 150 l/min, and the lifting capacity was 11 tons.

The cab was still four-post, with a noise level that was not quite at the level of competitors. Alongside the Cebis model, there was now a cheaper CIS+ version, which had a small color display on the front pillar and, for example, headland automation was removed from the standard equipment; even in the optional package, it was only possible to save 4 steps. The hydraulic valves were electric, but the CIS+ could have a maximum of four valves at the rear. The Cebis model, on the other hand, featured a new 12" touchscreen.

Based on the Axion 900, Claas also made a Terra Trac version, which was the first fully suspended half-track tractor.
