2020 Trek Rail??

[Fltwrm]

So it looks like the battery has a downtube panel "bolted" to it. What if you want to switch between two batteries? Do you also have to buy a second matching downtube panel thingy or can that be easily switched in the middle of a ride/Carpark?

 

[Doomanic]

Yes.

You have to swap all the parts over and/or buy a second compliment of parts (not just DT cover but also some hardware/plastic bits that go on the ends of the battery).

Sized the Rail 7 up today. I'm going to go for the red / anthracite model. The LBS has only got this colour in at the moment. I managed to get them to knock 10 percent of. Takes it down to 4315.00. Bike feels good. Lighter than I expected.

Like that red color!
Awsome looking bike I’m
Picking mine up next week I hope.

Blazing Bikes have 2 Large in Red in stock. I think everyone is slowly getting the bikes in now. My LBS has the yellow/cyan in on the shop floor.

I was in a Trek Uk store in Sheffield and they quoted mar/Apr for deliveries of any Rail apart from the 9 and above which were available now.

Interesting there is some supply.

Well guys. Sold my Scott today. Put the deposit down on the Rail 7 in the Red / Anthracite. Thanks for everyone's input. Managed to get my LBS to match the 10% off another shop had offered. Took the sting of my Scott going. First EMTB can't wait. Off to the Trek Forum.

That looks nice. For me it was a toss up between a Rail and a Whyte.

I couldn't wait for the Rail to reach my LBS.

I had a size up of the Whyte too. Great looking bike. Wasn't so keen on the cable routing underneath. Beautiful machine.

Picking my black 9.8 up on Saturday, cant wait?

 

[EMTB!]

Here's mine and man I'm loving it! Not sure what made me pull the trigger after demoing one 2 months prior. I came away from that ride with too long of a list as to why I would wait for the next big thing. Glad I did now.

Some nice mods on that whip. Axs, enve, push, 38 etc etc. Nice job

Thanks. It's definitely a little overboard, but fun!

 

[Doomanic]

Proper Dentist spec that one!

 

[Tribey]

That looks v good.
It was on my (very) short list with the Whyte, but Whytes were available and the Rails weren't.
