Overview

It's right for you if...

You’re looking for an e-MTB that’s just as ready to shred as non-electric trail bikes. You want a powerful Bosch drive system that’ll propel you up climbs so you can hit lap after lap.

The tech you get

A burly alloy frame with 150mm of rear travel and a 500Wh Removable Integrated Battery, an e-MTB optimized 160mm RockShox 35 Gold RL fork, the latest from Bosch with smart system Performance Line CX capable of speeds up to 20MPH, including the new Bluetooth® LED remote for easy connectivity. Plus, a 1x12 drivetrain with a wide gear range so you can always find the ideal cadence for the motor, a dropper post, powerful 4-piston brakes for more downhill confidence, and 29er wheels with nimble yet grippy 2.6" tires.

The final word

Rail 5 is our best-value long-travel e-MTB. It's equally as capable as our regular long-travel trail bikes, it just gets you back to the top in a flash. The powerful Bosch drive systems and durable part spec make for long-lasting fun.

Why you'll love it

  1. Trek's Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system looks great and is super user-friendly: it fully hides the battery in the frame for protection, makes it easy to remove the battery without tools and lets you mount a water bottle cage
  2. Bosch's new smart system gives you all the same power and responsiveness with a new Bluetooth-connected LED remote that puts even more control and customization at your fingertips
  3. The controller has Walk Assist and an intelligent e-MTB mode that automatically delivers the right amount of power based on your terrain
  4. Made with the same hard-charging frame tech as Remedy, like Mino Link adjustable geometry, a Straight Shot down tube for extra stiffness, and Active Braking Pivot (ABP)
  5. The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents
