Trek Rail 9.7 Gen 4 - Trek Bikes (GB)Best Features

• The Carbon Rail Gen 4 has the same enduro-inspired geometry and huge battery as the previous generation, but now it has a pocket in the top tube that makes Gen 4 compatible with Bosch’s integrated System Controller and Mini Remote
• Trek's Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system looks great and is super user-friendly: it fully hides the battery in the frame for protection, makes it easy to remove the battery without tools and lets you mount a water bottle cage
• Bosch's smart system gives you all the same power and responsiveness with a Bluetooth-connected LED remote and eBike Flow app that puts even more control and customisation at your fingertips
• The controller has Walk Assist and an intelligent e-MTB mode that automatically delivers the right amount of power based on your terrain
• The frame is extra-stout with a 34.9 mm seat tube to accommodate more robust dropper posts, and an oversized head tube that works with burly e-MTB optimised forks for less flex and more precise steering
