Rail 9.8 XT – 2023 – Trek Black / Marigold To Red

The Rail 9.8 is a long-travel electric mountain bike built for ripping the big stuff. It features the same high-end trail tech and character as analogue Trek bikes, just supercharged. Think of the Rail as a Slash + Remedy hybrid with a built-in shuttle. The Bosch drive unit will have you doing three times your normal lap at the local trail centre and as we all know, more riding = more fun.

A burly carbon frame delivers 150mm of rear suspension travel and holds a 750 Wh battery for long days lapping the trails or adventuring in the mountains. A 160 mm RockShox ZEB Select+ suspension fork and Shimano XT 4-piston brakes inspire confidence when descending. The powerful Bosch Performance Line CX (250 W, 85 Nm) motor and smooth-shifting 1×12 Shimano XT drivetrain will get you to the top of the hill in record time. The electric assist works at speeds up to 20 mph (25 km/h in Europe) and a Purion display shows system information and allows you to cycle through the different assistance modes. Trek finishes the spec off with a dropper post, and Bontrager Line Pro 29er wheels that are already completely tubeless-ready, including sealant.

This bike is ready for the gnarliest terrain, so if you want to ride further and harder, you want a Trek Rail
