Trek presents new E-Enduro
Trek has relied on Bosch motors for its e-mountainbikes right from the start. It is therefore logical that the 2020 E-Enduro Rail also rolls onto the trails with the latest version of the Performance CX motor.

Trek has relied on Bosch motors for its e-mountainbikes right from the start. So it's no surprise that the brand's 2020 range rolls onto the trails with the latest version of the Performance CX motor. There is also the 625 Powertube battery. The highlight of the new e-MTBs is the new Trek Rail model. An E-Enduro based on the successful non-motorised Enduro Slash. The key data is therefore available: 29 inches, 160 millimetres of suspension travel at the front, 150 at the rear, plus an elegant full carbon frame.

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
