The Trek Rail+ 9.7 Gen 5 is an enduro e-bike designed for riders who want a serious, carbon-framed machine that can deliver high-power support on the longest, toughest rides. With 160 mm of suspension front and rear, you’ve got the confidence and comfort to smash rough trails, while the full Bosch smart system provides the range and torque to keep the stoke going all day.
The heart of the Rail+ 9.7 is its OCLV Mountain Carbon main frame, which houses a Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery using Trek’s clean and practical Removable Integrated Battery (RIB 2.0) system. This not only keeps the lines sleek but also allows quick access for charging or removal without tools. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor punches out 85 Nm of torque—more than enough to take the grunt out of steep switchbacks and long climbs—letting you focus on the ride, not the grind.
RockShox takes care of the suspension with a ZEB Select fork and Super Deluxe Select+ RT rear shock, combining impressive stiffness, damping control and tuning capability for a smooth, responsive ride through chunky, rooty, and rocky terrain. The 160 mm of travel matches the enduro intentions of the Rail+, offering control and comfort on aggressive trails.
Drivetrain duties are handled by Shimano’s XT and SLX 12-speed components, providing crisp, reliable shifts and a broad gear range that pairs perfectly with the motor’s assist. Powerful SRAM DB8 brakes bring all the stopping power you need, with 4-piston calipers front and rear for added control.
The mixed-wheel setup—29" up front for rollover and stability, 27.5" out back for agility—gives you the best of both worlds. Bontrager Brevard Pro XR tyres offer grip and durability across a range of trail surfaces, while the Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels are tubeless-ready and built to take the hits.
A 200 mm Bontrager Line Dropper post rounds out a build that’s ready to drop in and charge hard. If you're looking for a carbon-framed, full-powered, long-range e-MTB for big mountain adventures, the Rail+ 9.7 Gen 5 has your name all over it.

* 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.
