DESCRIPTION
The Trek Rail+ 9.8 is a carbon enduro e-MTB made for chasing distant peaks and hammering out laps. A hard-hitting OCLV Mountain Carbon frame partners with 160 mm of front and rear travel from a Fox Performance Elite suspension package to eat up deep roots and chunky rock lines. The Bosch Performance Line CX system and a massive 800 Wh battery keep you climbing, while a wireless 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle AXS transmission shifts cleanly under load. SRAM CODE Bronze 4-piston brakes and a dropper post round out a bike built to charge into anything.
