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

[Jamescoughlan]

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.

Anyone?

Cheers!

The £5k base alloy version looks perfect for upgrading at home.

Exactly what we did (or to be more exact, what I did) with our January 2022 alloy Trek Rail 5's.

Absolutely no issues whatsoever after 3 years - about 3,000 miles on my (L) and about 1,500 miles on Mrs irie's (M).

I'm 5'10" and Mrs is 5'7".

Gen 5+ sure looks good! They just forgot to do M/L size with 475mm reach

Agree. My Trek Fuel EX M/L was perfect for me. Medium Rail was too small for me so bought a Large Rail then messed around quite a lot with the cockpit to get it the way I wanted.

Rich.

Looks like they're "due in April" although that could mean anything or nothing.

Anyone got the new Gen 5 yet? Seen a few shops have them. Looks quite good, loads of geo options on this new one. Quite interested.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

This bike is very very good. Only one ride so far, but I’m very impressed so far.

160 Fork, 160 rear, can run up to 180mm fork, head angle adjust, BB height adjust and a progression adjust flip chip to run coil shocks.

 

[Jamescoughlan]

Now I'm excited! Looks good.

5th rail IV had in a row and didn't expect it to be much different to the older ones but I was wrong... It's a weapon

 

[Jamescoughlan]

ooof! Where in Wales are you?
Love the fact it's a mullet.

Risca budd .... The mullet only is the one thing I don't like about it .. I want an option for a 29 if I fancy it

the off piste stuff is quality around there, lucky man.

Doesn't it have a flip chip for 29?

Ride from the house budd and we have loads of stuff on our doorstep ... Yeh has 2 flipchips one for low/high and one for coil/air but there is no clearance for a 29" wheel

Damn! Trek have lightened the look of that frame a long way from the Gen3 and Gen4's

Not so happy if its not 29/29 compatible though.

I hope they got rid of the 1.8'' lower head tube on the gen 5!!
