Well, IMO Trek dropped the ball, again. I really wanted the new Rail + with the Gen 5/800wh battery. I dont understand how the bike can be so darn heavy. Im seeing 55-56 lbs depending on the build. How can this be when the new motor and battery are about 2 lbs lighter? Im not a weight weenie guy, but I have to lift the bike over logs on the trail a lot. Our trails are remote and we see a lot of downfall. My Levo is 49 lbs. Ya 5-7 lbs isn't much but come on Trek.

Your Levo has better integrated battery, it plays big role on weight. 55lbs is not bad for 800 battery, IMO.

The rail+ is my first ebike. Ive got the Rail+ 8 XL . Im coming of a large Slash and XL top fuel . I was quite surprised at the weight . In a good way . Bike rides really well . Ive had a few fences etc to lift over .
