TREK RAIL 7 SLX/XT 2022

The Rail 7 is an electric long-travel mountain bike for the rough. It comes with the same high-end features as our non-electric trail bikes, benefits from upgrades to the suspension fork, drivetrain and battery, and is pushed forward by Bosch's powerful new drive system.

 

It's the right bike for you if...

... you are looking for a trail-specific e-mountain bike with which you can let off steam in the same rough terrain as with a trail bike without drive support. You already know how much fun e-mountain bikes are on the mountain and value better components on your new bike.

You get this equipment

A robust aluminium frame with 150 mm of rear travel, a fully integrated 625 Wh battery, a RockShox Domain RC fork with 160 mm of travel, a powerful Performance Line CX motor from Bosch with 250 W of power and 85 Nm of torque for pedal assistance up to 25 km/h and a Purion controller. You also get an easily shifting Shimano Deore/XT 1x12 drivetrain, a dropper post, powerful Shimano 4-piston disc brakes for maximum confidence on all descents and 29-inch, completely tubeless Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels with sealant.

Our last word

The Rail 7 impresses with a comprehensive parts upgrade in terms of drive, fork and wheels. But the best thing about this bike is the long-range Bosch battery for more runs with even more fun.

 

Why you will love it

The Bosch motor provides plenty of power so you can master steep climbs with energy-saving efficiency.

The Rail doesn't need to hide from its non-supported siblings. It literally pushes you up the climbs, eliminating the need for a shuttle or lift.

The Purion controller has a Walk Assist function and an intelligent eMTB mode that automatically provides the required power depending on the terrain.

It comes with the same exclusive frame technologies as the Remedy and the Slash - such as the Mino Link adjustable geometry, the Straight Shot down tube for extra stiffness and Active Braking Pivot (ABP).

Trek's Removable Integrated Battery System (RIB) looks good and is user-friendly: The battery is fully integrated into the frame and is therefore well protected, but can be easily removed without tools and offers space for a drinking bottle holder.

 

Features

 

New Bosch Performance Line CX

The new Bosch Performance Line CX motor is lighter, smaller and quieter than its predecessors and impresses with better integration and more agile handling. It's also more efficient, so you can go further on one charge. The intelligent eMTB mode automatically adjusts the level of support to changing terrain. After a one-off setting, this mode always delivers exactly the power you need so that you can fully concentrate on having fun driving.

 

Special eMTB Lite mode

Instead of a tour mode, Trek eMTBs have a special eMTB Lite mode. This mode offers more natural power delivery and longer battery life.

 

Removable Integrated Battery

RIB (Removable Integrated Battery) is a one-piece battery and cover combination with a built-in handle that can be easily removed from the frame and replaced without tools. Thanks to this feature, it is extremely convenient to remove the battery from the bike for transport, for securing or for easier charging.

 

Knock block

Knock Block protects your frame when things don't go smoothly. The steering stop prevents your handlebars from being turned completely in the event of a fall, in order to avoid excessive pull on your cables and to prevent the handlebars from contacting the top tube.

 

What is the range?

The range assistant from Bosch shows you how far you can ride your eMTB on one charge. The data we preset for an average rider and for this bike model can be changed by you for a more accurate estimate of the range.

 

landing gear calculator

This suspension calculator helps you to calculate the right suspension settings for your body weight. Just follow the steps to find the best setup for you.

 

Geometry adjustable via Mino Link

Adjust the steering angle (by 0.5°) and the bottom bracket height (by up to 10 mm) by simply turning a threaded nut. Turn the threaded nut and choose between a slack and an even slacker geometry without affecting the performance of the chassis. Exclusive to Trek.

 

Integrated speed sensor

The integrated speed sensor makes your life easier. The chainstay sensor is perfectly protected, while the special magnet integrated into the hub is optimally positioned - so error messages due to a misaligned sensor are a thing of the past.

 
Bosch Purion display

The Bosch Purion backlit display is a fully functional speedometer that also shows the service interval and battery life. Its thoughtful design allows the rider to scroll through the functions or select the desired support level without having to take their hands off the handlebars.

 

Complete tubeless system

Tubeless Ready rims and tires make it easy to convert to a tubeless system - for more traction, fewer punctures and lighter weight. Thanks to the included TLR rim strips, TLR valves and sealant, you can start converting immediately.
