Jun 2023 · Danny Milner

The last time we rode the Trek Rail we awarded it our 2021 E-Bike of the Year crown in the shop bought category. Since then we haven’t had another chance to ride one, mainly because they’ve been flying off the shop floor. Meanwhile, Trek hasn’t rested on its laurels – the front triangle has been lengthened and the extra space used to stuff in Bosch’s biggest 750Wh battery on all but the smallest frame size. So how does it perform and is it one of the best electric mountain bikes on offer? Need to know: Mino link on the seatstay/rocker interface gives high and low geometry settings – useful if you want to run a 27.5in rear wheel Knock Block steering limiter uses interlocking stem and headset spacers, while steerer tube gets oversize 1.8in taper Top tube System controller and wireless remote are available to buy aftermarket, but they should come as standard M, L, and XL frames get 750Wh battery, while S gets a 625Wh This updated Rail is called the Gen 4, but you can still buy the old Gen 3 model. It gets the smaller 625Wh battery, non-Smart System-compatible electronics and a shorter reach. Although buying the Gen 4 seems like a no-brainer, the new large frame is a really big bike, with a 490mm reach and a yawning 35mm gap to the medium. So some riders may achieve a better fit on the old Gen 3. It’s disappointing that Trek hasn’t fitted the latest Bosch System Controller (as found on the Mondraker) to the top tube. Instead you get a measly blanking plate. To enjoy the improved integration and reduced clutter you’ll have to fork out an extra £1,600 for the next model up, which seems pretty stingy. Suspension Trek claims the Rail delivers 150mm travel, but we only measured 140mm (3mm less than the last Rail we tested). However, we didn’t notice this shortcoming on the trail, mostly because the long wheelbase of the Rail gives it excellent stability at high speeds on rough ground. Where we found it wanting was in terms of grip and sensitivity. It struggled to trace smaller bumps, so not only did it lack some comfort on long rides, but it needed more effort to hold a line on off-cambers, through slow turns, and in the wet. Having said that, there’s plenty of support, so as long as we had the energy, we could ride the Rail like a runaway train. Our bike came with a RockShox Zeb in place of the advertised Domain RC. With 38mm stanchions it perfectly matches the hench proportions of the Rail frame, but it wasn’t the smoothest or most supple fork on test. In that respect there was a symbiosis between the Trek’s front and rear suspension, even if it wasn’t quite the fairytale relationship we’d hoped for. Components Trek proffers two brake specs on the Rail 9.7 – Shimano Deore or SRAM Code R, both in four-piston guise. Given the choice, we’d take the Shimano …Continue reading »

Available in three premium color schemes, the bike is setup with 29" wheels but can accommodate 27.5" or a mixed mullet setup (smaller rear wheel, larger front). Sturdy 12mm and 15mm thru-axles with Boost hub spacing offer stronger spoke bracing angle. Magnetic 6mm hex wrench quick release lever makes trail-maintenance convenient.

Excellent weight positioning with the motor and battery low and center, but the PowerTube 750 goes from 9.7lbs to 10.8lbs with the color-matched Trek RIB cover and handle. Longer wheelbase due to longer battery design. Two smartphone apps required to configure all of the electronics (SRAM AXS and Bosch eBike Flow). No USB charging with the Bosch LED Remote despite having a USB-C port built in.

2021 trek rail 9.7 review.

The reviewer compares the Gen 2 Trek Rail 9.7, a full power e-bike that feels more like a regular bike and has a great geometry, with the 2022 Knivo Expert, which the reviewer found to be surprisingly plush, enjoyable to ride, and a good e-bike for Moto guys. Both bikes have features that the reviewer appreciates.

You’re looking for a super capable long-travel e-MTB that’s built to conquer techy runs and big drops just as cleanly as analog trail bikes. You want the light weight and responsive ride of an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame. The tech you get An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame that fully encases a 625Wh battery, a 160mm RockShox Yari RC fork, 150mm of rear travel with a RockShox Deluxe Select+ shock, a Bosch Performance Line CX 250W motor that assists up to 20 mph, and a Purion controller. A 1x12 SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain, Bontrager Line dropper post, powerful 4-piston brakes for confident descents, and Bontrager Line Comp 30 29er wheels that are already completely tubeless ready, including sealant. The final word Rail 9.7 hits the sweet spot of carbon performance and amazing value. It’s spec'd with quality trail-specific parts and a powerful Bosch drive system so you can send it through the rough stuff and motor right back up for another run. Why you'll love it - The new, better-than-ever Bosch motor is smaller, lighter, and more efficient. It feels more natural while you’re pedaling, and has less drag when you’re not - Rail shreds just as hard as its non-electric brethren, plus it powers you right back up the mountain—no shuttle or lift necessary - The full-color Kiox controller displays ride info, connects with your Bluetooth enabled devices, and has a built-in theft prevention feature - Made with the same exclusive frame tech as Remedy and Slash, like Mino Link adjustable geometry, a Straight Shot down tube for extra stiffness, and Active Braking Pivot (ABP) - 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 remove the battery without tools and lets you mount a water bottle cage

Plus-size rims and tires

Wider than standard yet narrower than fat, plus-size rims and tires hit the sweet spot in grip, stability, and speed, giving you more confidence on technical terrain. Compared to a standard tire you’ll feel grip in places you wouldn’t expect thanks to a bigger contact patch and greater rollover clearance. More air volume allows lower tire pressures which softens bumps and increases float on sand or snow. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, the benefits of plus-size tires and rims will amplify your mountain biking fun.

E-MTB Showdown: Rail vs Shuttle vs Heckler

Simply put, electric mountain bikes give you the power to ride more trails. This ever-changing sector of the mountain bike market is pushing the limits of a traditional bike and creating opportunities for more people to get involved in the sport. These bikes have quickly become a favorite for our employees and we can’t stop riding them. We’re always in search of the best bikes for our customers, so here’s the scoop on the latest and greatest in electric mountain bikes.

Trek Rail 9.8

Taking inspiration from their full suspension lineup, Trek combines the best parts of their trail bikes into an extremely capable electric mountain bike with the Rail. At 150 mm of rear travel, this bike is ready to play on the rowdiest of rides. This bike comes in a variety of build options, but we recommend the Rail 9.8 for the best value. At $9,049.99, you get an OCLV carbon frame, a Rockshox ZEB Select+ fork, and either a SRAM GX or Shimano XT drivetrain.

- Trek Rail models are available in Aluminum (from $5649)

- Rail 9.7 to 9.9 models all have OCLV carbon frames

- Trek’s proprietary RE:aktiv rear shock Thru Shaft technology

Pivot Shuttle Race XT

The Shuttle is Pivot’s mainstay electric mountain bike. It is sleek, lightweight, and still maintains that beautiful aesthetic that Pivot is known for. They recently came out with a Race XT build, featuring Shimano’s SLX/XT drivetrain and brakes at a lower price point than the previous version of the bike.

- Carbon frame with Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain and brakes

- Also available in a Pro XT/XTR package

- 160mm travel Fox fork for steering precision and performance

- Shimano EP800 motor/battery/display. Compatible with different battery capacities - 726 wh, 635 wh, and 508 wh

Santa Cruz Heckler S-Kit

The Heckler made waves a couple years ago as Santa Cruz’s first E-MTB offering. This year it comes back with its third iteration as either a 29er or mixed wheel (MX) bike. The new Heckler has a longer interchangeable battery (720 wh compared to 540 wh on previous Hecklers) and 150 mm of rear travel. You can still tackle the gnarliest terrain but now take your rides even further.  With reliable VPP suspension, you’ll have a heck of a lot of fun wherever your ride takes you.  

- Shimano EP800 motor with 720 wh battery 

- Mixed Wheel offering (29er front 27.5 rear)

- VPP suspension tuned precisely for eBike use

- Prices start at $8199.  All models have carbon frames

Trek Rail 9.7 Gen 4

Rail 9.7 is a long-travel carbon electric mountain bike that gets you to the fun stuff faster. It feels and rides just like our rowdiest trail bikes, and it's built with the same trail-specific tech. The difference is that the powerful Bosch drive system zips up climbs so you can spend less time grinding and more time getting rad. It's right for you if... You’re looking for a super capable long-travel e-MTB that’s built to conquer techy runs and big drops. You want the lightweight and responsive ride of an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a high-powered motor to get to more descents faster. The tech you get An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a 625Wh Removable Integrated Battery, a 160mm RockShox Domain fork, 150mm of rear travel with a RockShox Deluxe Select+ shock, and 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 and all-in-one navigation and activity tracking through the eBike Flow app. A 1x12 Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain, Bontrager Line dropper post, powerful 4-piston brakes for confident descents, and Bontrager Line Comp 30 29er wheels that are already completely tubeless ready, including sealant. The final word Rail 9.7 hits the sweet spot of carbon performance and amazing value. It’s spec'd with quality trail-specific parts and a powerful Bosch drive system so you can send it through the rough stuff and motor right back up for another run. Why you'll love it - The Bosch motor gives you plenty of power for tackling steep climbs with the efficiency to keep exploring all day. Rider-friendly features like Walk Assist and e-MTB mode help you make the most of every ride - 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) - Bosch's new smart system gives you all the same power and responsiveness with a new Bluetooth-connected LED remote and eBike Flow app that puts even more control and customization at your fingertips - 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 remove the battery without tools and lets you mount a water bottle cage

Kiox or Purion on 2021 Rail 9.7?

• Thread starter franaroon
• Start date Aug 15, 2020

Looking at the Trek website, some parts of the description say Purion and some say Kiox. The pictures seem to interchange as well. Does anyone know for sure which it will come with?

I have the 2020 9.7 model and it came with the Purion. The Kiox computer was an upgrade that cost about $400cdn. (Plus installation).

I think I read that the 2021 Rails were now coming with the kiox display

Website says kiox and pictures show kiox, so my 21 9.7 better come with a kiox. One of the reasons I upgraded from the rail 7.

The ProjectOne colors show pictures of both, and under “The Tech You Get” section it lists the Purion. But I’m thinking (hoping!) they just used some of last years text and pictures. When are you expecting yours to be delivered bluewater87? I can’t get a solid delivery date on mine.  

I had my LBS install the Kiox after I received the 9.7 in November 2019. I like the display and the remote however there are two things that concern me. 1-If you don’t notice that the kiox has fallen off after a crash you must retrace your trail/path and search. This has happened to me twice. Once it was next to me and the other time took 15-20min to find. The magnetic release is a great feature and prevents unnecessary damage but if the kiox falls off or gets knocked off during a decent a rider may not notice. I think a short tether attached to the kiox and mount could prevent this. 2-within a few weeks of the kiox install I noticed Bluetooth connection issues. These were intermittent at first but soon became impossible to make a Bluetooth connection with the app. My LBS addressed this issue and I then purchased the “lock-feature”. The lock feature worked correctly until I could not make any connection between my phone (or between any device) and the kiox computer. This meant no peddle assist. I contacted Bosch but they had no solution. They eventually stopped emailing me. I had to get the LBS to de-activate the “lock-feature “. When I purchased the lock-feature “ I activated it through the app and Bluetooth. Once I could no longer make a connection the lock feature remained active. I have since deactivated the lock feature because I fear that I could be locked out again. ($11.00 well spent?). Since the recent updates the connection issue is not as bad, but it’s still bad. I like kiox, the app and the features that come with this device. I’m sure that I’m not the only customer who is having these issues but being ignored by Bosch is probably the most frustrating.

jeroen said: Agree with the tether, I've also lost dropped mine of my bike already twice, and it being black, not always easy to find. One hint though: install a Bluetooth tool, eg. LightBlue (iOS) Yes, it is a bit silly as there are two problems: losing phone or losing kiox. If your phone dies, then your bike won't power either Ability to have two Kiox'es or bind to two phones would be better indeed... or at least some other bluetooth token. It indeed limits the usability of the lock feature quite a bit, the beep beep is still satisfying though even though it means the bike is not locked-locked; engine lock would have been awesome.... an automatic hydraulic arm clutching the nearest pole would be cool too though Then again, may folks, especially here, ride their bikes in the middle of nowhere, thus locking is typically not really needed anyway. And it primarily protects from other people with a Kiox riding away on it, powered. Click to expand...

If it says kiox under the bike you have selected, then surely it must come with a kiox. If not, that’s false advertising

rsutton1223 said: I believe it comes with Purion unless you special order it with Kiox through Project One. Kiox is standard on 9.8 and above. Click to expand...

jeroen said: For 2020 and before that was the case indeed, though one could always separately upgrade it, no need to go all the way for Project One. For the 2021 Model Rail 9's you get Kiox.... even for the base GX. 2021 Rail 7 still comes with Purion though. PS: nice quality pix! Click to expand...

Wanted to follow up with a definite answer. I finally got pictures of my built bike (that I get to pick up on Saturday!!) and it definitely has a Kiox.

Nice. I use this position for kiox also. It is way better then on frame tube for seeing. I have Rail 7. I bought the tube kiox mount by Trek also, but changed my mind and take the original Bosch mount.

By adding 100-150 EUR to budget you can buy Nyon MY21 and get capability to adjust different assist profiles. I'm currently running purion but this new Nyon made Kiox retrofit kit non desirable update. Nyon though is bigger than Kiox.

@Stihldog love the tether, definitely something I need to change also, already dropped my Kiox twice (kicked it off with a odd leg movement), handlebar might be a bit better position because of that. Thanks for the ideas!

Best in Class winner!

It was a close competition, but not much could match the Rail on every type of terrain. The Bosch system will get you up any trail and the geometry is as close to perfect as we have found for all-around riding.

"Our e-bike of the Year"

"Rail dominates the descents and flattens the climbs…it’s every bit as potent as the Slash, but with its own built-in uplift."

"Sets the bar"

"Whether flowing or technical, it literally glides by the competition like it's on rails while also offering plenty of comfort for long days in the saddle."

"E-MTB dominance"

"One of the best all-rounders in the test. This tuxedo-looking bike symbolizes class and intention with a big win on battery life."
