Rail 5 components
Fork
The RockShox 35 Gold RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 160mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock
As for the rear shock, this e-bike has the RockShox Deluxe Select+ model, with a travel of 150mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Rail 5 e-bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the e-bike itself.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Rail 5 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
Trek Rail 5 comes with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
