Why you’ll love it
- The Rail Gen 4’s integrated System Controller lets you see your assist mode and battery level without getting in the way while the Mini Remote makes it easy to change modes or use Walk Assist
- Its clean cockpit is minimalist and sleek, and the smart system makes it easy to add a display if you want more data
- Intelligent eMTB and Tour+ modes automatically adjust the assist based on your input to give you just the right amount of power for your ride
- The frame is extra stout with a 34.9 mm seat tube to accommodate more robust dropper posts and an oversized head tube that works with burly e-MTB-optimised forks for less flex and more precise steering
- 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
The final word
This bike features across-the-board upgrades that make it a serious ripper – especially the AXS drivetrain. The bike is built to hammer gnarly descents, then fly right back up again thanks to the powerful Bosch motor, 750 Wh battery*, and parts that can keep up with all that rowdy riding.
*Please note: Size S comes with a 625Wh battery due to the smaller frame dimensions.

Please note that high global demand for bikes and resulting supply chain issues in the bike industry may cause manufacturers to substitute components, impacting our published specifications.We recommend confirming the specifications with your local Evo Cycles showroom if you have any questions.
Bike Weight: Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on frame size, finish, hardware and accessories. The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local showroom weigh it for you. Firstly, this approach ensures you get the precise, real-world weight of the specific bike you’re interested in. This is important because bike weights can vary even between the same model. Furthermore, your local showroom staff have the proper equipment and expertise to provide you with the most reliable weight measurement. Ultimately, weighing the bike in person at the showroom is the best method to get an accurate understanding of its weight.
