Good to know information on the bike, thank you Richie. Now waiting for videos from the trails. I especially like your videos when you're on your bike riding through the woods and through the water and whatever else you're riding through. Appreciate what you do.

[@jrb281961]

Happy Labor, brother Richie. Keep these videos coming my Brother. Be Blessed

[@rhonda7779]

Be careful Richie. My son is an avid mountain bike rider and his carbon frame broke twice. Good thing was that it was under warranty both times and the shop he got it from was amazing!! I’m happy to hear you’re happy with this bike and I look forward to your videos while you’re riding!! Many blessings Richie 🙏🥰

[@annamalgorzata7731]

It's great to see that this bike is such an amazing "piece of technology"! Very interesting review! Thanks very much! I always love seeing the view from the camera mounted on the front of your bike. I feel then like I explore these beautiful and unique (railroad track) trails myself and ride a bike at such an amazing speed! I wouldn't have a chance to do it in real life so I appreciate your videos.

[@erikroberts3545]

Thanks for the review, Richie! Im going to order mine soon, and im sooo excited. See you on the trails. 😃👍

[@RollingStoneZzzzz]

Richie, I watched the whole video even though I didn't really understand much. Being old as dirt 67 now bikes were simple in my day. I wish I could keep up with you but I have SO many injuries walking is good as it gets for me...and ThatsZzzzzz tough too! Love your videos! 👍🏻 So...Keep On Truckin...and Biking!

Avid mountain bikers are some of the strongest and enduring folks on this earth plain . They deserve a full proof unit to depend on when ur pedaling thru the mountains . Thanks rfb for the details .

[@________GHOST________]

Epic review sir I am going to get one soon awesome.

[@svenshanah]

Appreciate this RIchie..been trying to narrow down which one to get since IMHO they're too spendy for me to get the wrong one, take a loss on it, and have to do it again. I'm old and old school, all mine are still 26"..and no motor except for a 500w kit I haven't got around to installin' yet. After a couple of injuries and 2 cancer wars, I'm ready for a wee bit'o help with the hills ..I have a bad habit of forgetting how old and busted up I am now, and goin' out farther than I feel like pedaling back 😎👍

[@lisaruben4954]

Hi... I just wanted to say Thanks...I picked up a couple cheaper ebikes and have found a lot of Joy with them... God Bless Ya Friend

[@JayDee25895]

Your right, It's badass looking!

[@guiliapepper]

Richie, I have never considered riding an ebike until watching your videos. I turned 60 last September and I am finding that my knees burn with pain just pedaling on flat ground. As an avid hiker well into my late 40s it broke my heart as my hips began to fail. Bicycling affords me a chance to experience the world once more and my hips don't notice; except when mounting my bike. I may need to switch to a women's frame for ease in mount/dismounting.

[@jenniferhaasch7961]

Trek should be compensated you for your reviews, I'm still riding my Trek 9500 I purchased back in 1996 for $1200.00 (with upgrades) 12 to 14 grand gave me whiplash when you showed the cost but if you use the sh#@ outta it so I guess the cost is justified. Great video as always Richie!

[@scdhl4]

Damn thing cost's more than my vehicle, definitely way outta my budget.

[@rogercunningham9987]

Thank you Richie 👋

[@jzdyrko]

Hey Richie, sent you a message on eMTB forums. Nice new Ride!!!

[@endofthelongestline1]

The bikes just get better and better every year man. Jumping from five years in the oast to a current model is a complete game changer.

I run 150 to 155mm miranda crankarms. Love them, keeps cadence high.

[@jrb281961]

Very nice mtn bike, looks awesome, Brother Richie.. I love the trails in the White Mountains of NH, in the Town area of Lincoln.

[@Tehilliym]

For anyone looking to get into ebikes it’s also worth checking out Giant e-bikes powered by Yamaha motors. Yamaha has been making e-bike motors for over 2 decades. They are super reliable and a great power-plant for e-bikes! Looking forward to watching this; thanks bro!

[@jailbreakoverlander]

yamaha shmaino motors dont hold a candle to brose let alone bosch gen 4s not even close.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

I love your channel and MTB is my favorite hobby. I’m not a fan of E-bikes because I enjoy the grind getting up hills on my own. However, that being said I may change my mind when I get to your age.

[@michaelquaintance4393]

Beautiful color. Nice, very nice.

[@radoslawlos]

Hey bro. Thanks for the review. The guys you mentioned are not Russian, they're Polish and they were talking mostly positive about the new rail (except the price). Translating the part you put here: one of them said it's time to change his (older) rail for the newer one as it was more "aligned" to him. Cheers.

[@naturalbornscorpio929]

Hey Richie kool new bike & good review Keep it under 100km >>Enjoy the ride>>

[@mountainmaidsnm8229]

I got one of those headlight/tail light with the little wheel/generator that goes on the back wheel if you think that might look better! Nice upgrade Bro.

[@thim8009]

Emtb is my thing. Your transmission is the best man. I usually go for sram gx, or shimano slx. I put the $ into suspension. Sweet rig though man.

[@Swamp-Fox]

Wicked bike!

[@rodneygraves6419]

That one is out of my price range LOL. I'm 52 and I'll have to stick with my Trek Top Fuel 7. I might get to upgrade once this youngin finishes her college. Great videos. Keep them coming.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

they have the lower price untis still same same

[@joefishtale]

Just came across your channel. Great review of the bike. I am considering the same model, but the alloy version because I have been on a couple carbon frames that broke without notice. It's going to be aluminum for me from now on as the last break resulted in a 100k overnight stay in hospital. Your take on the t-type transmission makes me want that version, as I have snapped so many chains under load while changing gears.I rented the trek rail this last summer for a mountain bike trip in alaska and it out performed my more powerful bikes that have Bafang M600 and M620 motors.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

Damn ran my trek rail 9 for 2 years cf and no issues at all that sucks. but weight wise id go alloy too

[@shadmcdaniel4184]

Shifting under load is a game changer for ebikes. I love that jailbreak tuner. The governor has always been the reason I wouldn’t consider these types of bikes. Thanks

[@thomassanio8745]

Nice job with the video Richie. As a current Pivot Firebird owner I can attest to how strong carbon fiber bars are. Plenty on 4 foot drops to flat when downhilling, ZERO issues. We live in a world of materials science. I am curious what your bike weighs? Thanks. Tom

[@rickfortine7454]

Thats so cool Brother ... and your calf muscles definitely show youre a Mountain Biker !!!

[@jailbreakoverlander]

LOl I try man, a straight up mtb is just too hard so its no fun, this helps and it keeps me on it every damn day. so its worth it.

[@enriquee.k3329]

A great video brother, Thank you for the informations, I bought Trek rail 9 two months ago and I love it so far except that rattling sound on rough trails, I still don’t know is it from the battery or the motor ? Couple of videos I did research about it some say battery some say motor ! 😢 It’s annoying, otherwise I love the bike Again thank you 🙏

[@utilisemedia]

Totally agree with brakes. What exact models would you recommend? Would you do front only or front and back? Thanks

[@clintpetrie1757]

Nice bike!

[@mamabear2277]

My son is looking for a bike and I’m sending this video to him. He was looking at some site called Hey Bike. Pretty cool bike. I like it as well. Have fun and enjoy today!

[@jeffreebailey4464]

I think these bikes are just too damn expensive. I really wanted one a while ago but I'm still riding my 1980s Schwinn Mesa Runner mountain bike lol... I just knew I was going to win the one that Richie was give it away, but that didn't happen lol

[@jailbreakoverlander]

tell him to check out pinkbike its a website.

[@mamabear2277]

@@jailbreakoverlanderI will. Thank you brother 👍😎

[@hevdread]

the AirWiz is for riders who may experience extreme altitude and temp fluctuations from top to bottom and or travel from region to region as air pressure and altitude can dramatically affect your shock and tire pressures. For tubeless set ups on hook-less rims pressure shifts can have severe consequences. if you ride in mostly the same climate altitude you wont get a lot of use other then showing it off to people who dont have it.

[@scdhl4]

To Rich for my blood, that bike costs more than my vehicle. But thanks for sharing.

[@luisloredo7837]

Hello Richie, excellent bike and very good Review, but I have a question about the transmission, what is the name of the accessory that is connected directly to the battery to make the changes, I know that the transmission model is sram xo axs but I have not seen the accessory that connects to the battery for sale, with what reference would it be ordered. In case that part gets damaged?

[@98xj64]

Looks nice, I've never rode an Ebike yet so I don't know what I'm missing 😅

Hi, I'm writing to you from Italy, I watched the whole trek rail test with interest, I also have one, I would like to ask you if you don't have any annoying noise problems coming from the battery area, in particular from the key lock inside the frame, mine is a disaster! hello, thanks for the videos you make!

[@jailbreakoverlander]

THIS IS MY 2ND TREK RAIL AND I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH BATTERY FIT OR RATTLE. ONLY THE TERRIBLE SRAM BRAKES

[@neitapope4447]

Good tough review!

[@lifeonfilm65]

Yes I own several

[@lifeonfilm65]

Wrong message, I own no trex, wish I did

[@Riker-ER]

👍

[@WheelsOTG]

You should check our the TRP DHR Evo brakes as a replacement for the Srams. Way more power, easier to bleed, and they’re super quiet

[@WheelsOTG]

Also, the reason they spec XO instead of XX is because XO is aimed at the more aggressive/physically demanding side of riding, while XX is more for lightweight riding. The biggest difference between XX and XO is that XX has Carbon cranks and a lighter weight rear derailleur while the XO has aluminum cranks and a heavier derailleur

[@jailbreakoverlander]

if I swap out srams brakes Ill go back to shimao XTR srams are STILL loud as heck after 8oo miles

[@yesode4201]

Is it worth the extreme amount of money?

[@FUfon-gf5ph]

[@GadgetMan88]

What size did you go with. Medium or Large? I’m 5’10” with 32” inseam. I went with a medium. Mine should be in in about 10 days.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

medium 5'9" 30 inseam its perfect a lil tall actually lol

[@nautika1]

Beautiful E bike by Trek very nice this guys speaking Polish not Russian

[@forzer456]

Hey is there a reason you changed motors 3 times? Did they break or have issues and on average how many miles did each last? Also what’s the cost of each motor replacement?

[@jailbreakoverlander]

4500 miles easier to swap out motor than have trek take it for weeks to replace bearings.

[@forzer456]

@@jailbreakoverlander 4500 miles is pretty good, you must ride a lot, I was worried about longevity but I guess I don’t have too. So instead of overhauling the motors you just choose to replace with a new one, do you know much it cost roughly? Bosch has updated the gen 4 with the smart system so there is hope once I’m done with the first motor I can get the new one with the connection to your phone features.

[@gregwolfe4950]

I like the way you explain all the individual components. The gay little bell. Haha! Ding Ding 🇺🇸

[@endofthelongestline1]

XO is a bit more robust and that's a "trail bike". XX is really for race day bikes. Sram for drivetrains, Shimano for brakes.
