I think so, Mrs has a Rail 7 Gen 3 for comparison.

Hi mate, I’ve got a rail 5 on order and was wondering if it comes with the display on your bars, or did you add this afterwards? Kevin

Hello dude, had it supplied and fitted, wasn’t expensive, suggest you get the LBS to fit it, it’s informative and super discreet.

That display is really good , the issue I have is the new colour schemes, doesn’t do it for me I’m afraid

Hey it was through Blazing Bikes.

To be fair Sliding the seat back can put you too far back for climbing and a longer stem slows the steering down so for me thats a compromise because the frames the wrong size

Theres no doubt they have dropped the ball with the massive jump between M and L on the new models
so it will be the last trek rail i buy for a long time .

To be honest this is not a "new problem" on gen 5 Rail's. The previous Gen 4 with 750wh batteries had the same jump in sizes.

FYI its a Purion 400 display should be around 130 Euro

Got a new Rail + 9.8 AXS Gen 5 being built in the shop now. I may have missed it in the forums but is Trek planning on coming out with a new top tube mounted display to replace the current Bosch one? Blanking plate cutout below the controller would certainly suggest that.

The whole industry is rolling out new bikes with that blank plate.

Bosch will most likely come up with a new screen and most of the bikes will already be compatible with it.

Will be interesting to see how much that ends up costing...I'd say most people buying a "Gen 5" bike would be hoping to upgrade to the new rumoured screen when it comes out...but it would have to depend on price, surely?

got my rail+ . Maiden voyage yesterday. Its my first ebike , so trying to get my head around it all . But goes downhill well . Ibe got the XL and feels smaller with the mullet setup. Apart from the useless charge port cover , initial thoughts are good

Edit: from the below link:

"What I remember is that when the door is opened the top of the cover moves back a little to hold the cover open. Then when closing the door holding the bottom gently pull it out and a little sideways and it drops closed. That's what ours do on both our 2022 Trek Rail 5's."

Other - Where are the 2025 Trek Rail+ Gen 5 reviews?

I’ve trawled the internet and can only find product release reviews. It looks great, on paper, for me and I loved my old Rail. I’m on a full 29er Crafty at the moment, which is a brilliant bike, but I want mullet at 173cm / 5’8”. The £5k base alloy version looks perfect for upgrading at home...

I see all the review embargoes must have expired, as there's lots of videos and write-ups on the new Rail+ popping up all over the place.

Hey it was through Blazing Bikes.

Hi mate, what size bike did you get and how tall are you, if you don’t mind me asking? Kevin
