Trek launches two bikes that push the limits of eMTB performance

Today Trek introduced two new ebikes; the Trek Rail+ G5 and the Powerfly FS+ 4. The Rail+ G5 is a long-travel eMTB for extended alpine missions. The Powerfly FS+ 4 has less travel and is built to climb easily and provides tons of mounts for gear.

Trek Rail+ G5

The Trek Rail+ G5 is the latest evolution of Trek’s high-powered long-travel eMTB, designed to tackle rugged terrain, extended adventures and aggressive descents. Built with an 800Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, a refined 85Nm Bosch Performance Line CX motor and an adjustable geometry system, the Rail+ G5 delivers a new level of power, efficiency and adaptability.

With 160mm of travel front and rear, MX wheels on all sizes (except small which is 27.5″ back and front) and a 64.5-degree head tube angle (adjustable by ±1°), it stays planted and composed on steep, technical terrain while maintaining a responsive ride feel. For those seeking longer range, customizable geometry and advanced integration, the Rail+ G5 introduces several key updates over its predecessor. There is adjustable leverage rate via a flip chip for riders who prefer coil shocks or need added bottom-out resistance.
And it features a Mino Link for fine-tuning bottom bracket height.

The G5 also comes with the Quarq TyreWiz that provides real-time tire pressure monitoring via SRAM AXS, ensuring optimal performance without manual checks. And the 77-degree seat tube angle improves climbing efficiency and the increased dropper post insertion makes for better fit options.

Equipped with 120mm of rear travel and a 130mm fork, it delivers confident handling on varied terrain while maintaining efficiency on climbs. With a powerful Bosch Performance Line CX motor (85Nm torque) and a 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, it provides smooth, controlled power delivery and extended ride time. All sizes come in 29 inch wheels except for small which has 27.5″ wheels. The 66° head tube angle makes for stable descending and confident cornering.

The updated frame design allows for better standover clearance and space for accessories. And there are pleny of accessory mounts for racks,…
