    Long travel, long range – the 2025 Trek Slash+ is here

    The new electric Trek Slash+ has 170 mm suspension travel, a 29er wheel up front and a 27.5 at the back. It’s designed as a mullet bike strictly, there is no room for a 29” rear wheel. The exception is the size small frame, it has 27.5” wheels at both ends. The Slash+ looks very much like the...

    Lower headset 1.5 -> 1.8" conversion

    Did a mistake and bought a fork with 1.8" steerer tube. Trek Rail takes 1.5" steerer tube inside. I couldn´t find conversion cups in market so I designed and builded conversion cup myself. This lifts front 13mm but hey, it works! Here are the results:

    Trek Rail 9.8 XT or Specialized Turbo Levo Comp Alloy

    I have a dilemma… In the market for my first emtb and have narrowed it down to these two bikes. I have managed to agree a deal on the Specialized for £3,800 or my local Trek dealer has a Rail 9.8 XT in my size that they will put a frame wrap on it for £5,200. I had originally decided I...

    Hello from an Andorran newbie living in Switzerland

    Hi all! Here Tonet, original from the small country of the Pyrenees in Andorra, and since quite a few years living in Zürich, Switzerland. Both top countries for mountain biking! I landed on this forum because many posts (and even videos from Rob Rides eMtb) related to my "small research"...

    Greetings from Belgium

    Hi all, newbie in eMTBs from Overijse, Belgium here. I'm roadbiking since 2014 and started mountainbiking only in 2021. I didn't like MTB when I started cycling in 2014 as I thought it is too complicated. Certainly after I rented an MTB in Scotland together with a friend. I had brought my shoes...

    Intro and review - Trek Fuel EXe alloy

    About one year ago, Trek launched a new lightweight emtb with a carbon frame. It was equipped with the mild and silent TQ HPR50 motor and a 360 Wh battery. The 2023 Trek Fuel EXe felt so natural on the trails. Natural because the motor was barely audible. Natural because the motor activated and...

    Trek Fuel EXe RR, 170mm Enduro Edition

    The Trek Fuel EXe is a lightweight Trail electric mountain bike. Designed primarily for trail riding. Straight out of the box it rides sharp and agile. But .... What happens if we alter the stock build somewhat ? Meet the Trek Fuel EXe RR Edition I really like to mess around with bikes and...

    TQ HPR50 Review + Trek Central app

    A few months ago, we tested the new Trek Fuel EX-e 9.9 AXS with the new TQ HPR50 motor. The test was done before the bike launch and the Trek Central app wasn't ready at the time. We noticed the motor couldn't possibly be set to 200% amplification of rider input. Not if we were to trust the...

    Down to the final 2….Trek or Merida for the win

    Well I’m down to the final 2 in the eMTB choice. The Merida e160 700 (2021) or Trek Rail 5 (2022). I haven't been able to ride either yet (availability in Aus is literally bonkers). Any advice from owners of each bike? I think I'm leaning towards the Trek, but not sure if it's just because I...

    Trek Rail Purple Flip - paint repairs

    Hey everyone. I fitted a rear mudguard and thought I’d been clever with it but after two rides noticed that I had missed where it was rubbing on the seat stay (as pictured). I now have two spots (one each side) that are completely down to the metal, maybe about the size of a 5p or slightly...

    Trek rail cane creek kitsuma

    Anyone tried the cane creek kitsuma coil on their rail? I have a rail 7 size medium and think the cane creek coil looks the part. The fox dpx2 21’ reservoir is about 10mm shorter than the kitsuma.

    First time emtb - build vs buy

    I'm looking for some general guidance as a new-ish emtber. My friend has a Trek 5 and I want to keep up with him. I'll do XC with some light trails, but no huge drops or crazy life-threatening stuff. I've been digging into the Trek specs and discovered that the baseline Trek 5 isn't all that...

    Trek Rail Size and model

    Hi Folks, Looking at getting a trek rail, and it seems I fall right in between sizes L and XL. I'm 6'1.5 (186cm), so just wondering what others have gone for and any advice. Ideally it would be best to test one at the LBS, however this isn't an option at this time. I think I'm swaying towards...
