Description
The Rail 5 is a full-suspension electric mountain bike built for ripping the big stuff
It features the same high-end trail tech as our analogue trail bikes, plus a powerful Bosch drive system that’s basically like having your own shuttle.
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 150 mm of rear travel and a 500 Wh Removable Integrated Battery provides a solid foundation. Furthermore, an e-MTB optimised 160 mm RockShox 35 Gold RL fork offers premium suspension performance. Additionally, the latest from Bosch with smart system Performance Line CX is capable of speeds up to 32 km/h, including the new Bluetooth® LED remote for easy connectivity. Moreover, all-in-one navigation and activity tracking is available through the eBike Flow app. Plus, a 1×12 drive train 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″ tyres.
Why you’ll love it
- 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
- 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 customisation at your fingertips
- The controller has Walk Assist and an intelligent e-MTB mode that automatically delivers the right amount of power based on your terrain
- 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)
- The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it’s out of the way on descents
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.

* All specifications listed are subject to change without notice. Please note that our specifications may be impacted by manufacturer component substitution changes caused by high global demand for bikes and resulting supply chain issues in the bike industry. 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. Ultimately, this is the best approach, as bike weights can vary even between the same model due to component choices and customizations.
