TREK RAIL MODEL 9, 7 ,5 2020/21

Beautiful Sunday Ride at Trione-Annadel State Park, Santa Rosa, CA

Are you on an Aluminum or Carbon Rail? Aluminum fits 65mm Stroke 2021 DHX2 on a large frame....carbon I think only fits 60mm as 65mm will have seat stay clearance issues according to what i've seen others post. It has to be the new version of the shock as it's resi is shorter tp clear...

Seems like a lot of places have the Display in stock. You just need to find the mount. Power/Controller cables from the Kiox can swap over to the Nyon Mount.

I must say after 100 miles on the nose job.....The Trust Shout suits the Rail perfectly. It comes alive at speed so technical climbing (at the increased speeds of eMTB) becomes a clinic in traction and rollover, and descending of course is just as amazing. It makes cornering feel intuitive...

It looks like Specialized bought the intellectual property rights to trusts linkage design. So if it reappears it will be under the spesh banner.

Do you already have a Kiox?

I spoke to someone at Trust a while ago, he said that they might once supply chain, etc normalize post pandemic. Dave Weagle is a magician with suspension design. I think that with each generation they'd get better and better.

I def try to lean as much as possible, but Trust feels like its easier for me to lean if that makes sense. A2C slightly lower on the Trust than the 38 but only a few mm.

How do you like running the Wrecker with the dual crown?

It actually feels steeper, and corners better actually. It's definitely an optical illusion as the axle sits a lot further back than the stanchions. I rode a trail the other day that had a ton of switchbacks and bermed corners that I was able to ride through at a faster speed than ever before....

Decided to try something a bit different. I swapped the Trust Shout linkage fork from my Evil Wreckoning V3 to my Rail 7 and I think its a perfect fit. With my avg. climbing speed 2-4mph faster on the Rail, the Trust fork seems to work a bit better, plus cornering seems to be greatly improved...

Thanks for the response!

Did you read my post as I already mentioned how the two types work....anyways, i was just trying to make a discussion.

I'll probably sell my Rail for it, Evil's Delta link suspension is an amazing platform. Evil's aren't really that expensive...$3300/frame for reg bikes. They make great bikes. I've owned 3....still have the Wreckoning. I'd guess $8.5-9k for X01, $10-10.5k for AXS

No, the Custom modes on Nyon can't be used on Kiox

LOL, I'm definitely in the loons who like to climb the gnar category.

On my 2 enduro bikes (Evil/Orbea) run 165mm Shimano XT on one, and 170mm RF Next R on the other. I live in an area where 2000ft climbs over 2-4miles is the norm and I don't think the power difference between the two is substantial enough to be worried. I run 160mm e13 on my eMTB and get zero...

Rockguardz.com makes a carbon fiber one that bolts over the OEM Trek Rail, and protect emtb has one coming out soon for the Rail. Protect E-MTB | Bash Guards for E-MTB bikes - Protect EMTB
