The 2022 Trek Rail 9.8 GX looks damn good and rides like the devil on rails! Basically, we had nothing to complain about with the test bike. The drivetrain, suspension and workmanship are beyond reproach, and the paint job is...

Pros
  1. Weight of 23.8 kg, despite a 750 Wh battery
  2. Display positioned well on the top tube for easy reading
  3. 220mm front brake disc
  4. Good tracking stability, especially during downhill rides
Cons
  1. a bit expensive
  2. buttons on Bosch LED Remote too sensitive/easy to press
  3. Not available in size S
  4. also available with AXS at the same price
