The Trek Rail+ 8 Gen 5 delivers full-powered trail-crushing capability in a robust aluminium build. Designed for riders who want to pack in epic adventures and conquer steep, technical terrain, it balances rugged durability with a high-performance parts spec.
Built on Trek’s Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame, it features 160 mm of travel front and rear, with a RockShox ZEB Select fork handling the big hits up front and a Super Deluxe Select+ RT shock smoothing out the rough stuff out back. The enduro geometry is ready for steep descents, and the adjustable angle headset (cups sold separately) gives you the option to tune your setup further.
The Bosch Performance Line CX motor brings 85 Nm of torque and delivers responsive assistance that makes light work of long climbs and looped laps. Its smart system is integrated with the 800 Wh Removable Integrated Battery (RIB 2.0), giving you hours of riding on a single charge, with easy removal for charging or travel. It’s also compatible with the Bosch PowerMore range extender if you want to go even further.
Shifting is taken care of by a well-matched Shimano XT and SLX 12-speed drivetrain, with a wide gear range to match the motor’s punch. Braking is powerful and confidence-inspiring thanks to SRAM’s DB8 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes.
The mixed wheel setup—29" front and 27.5" rear—strikes the right balance between traction, rollover and agility. Bontrager’s tubeless-ready Brevard Pro XR tyres offer grip and control on loose, techy trails, while the Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels are built tough for the hits.
A long-travel dropper post, clean internal routing and trail-tough components mean this e-MTB is ready for big mountain days and repeat descents. If you want to ride further, climb faster and descend harder, the Rail+ 8 is your next ticket to adventure.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimeters for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but is like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the e mountain bike column.
