Overview

You want seriously fast acceleration and the best long-travel e-MTB you can find. Components matter to you, and you want the most adjustability, smoothest performance, longest range, and most high-tech assist you can get. You love customization and want all of the cool features of Bosch’s smart system.
The tech you get
An upgraded OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with longer reach and oversized head tube and seat tube for maximum strength. An extra-long-range 750Wh battery, ultra-adjustable RockShox ZEB Ultimate fork, RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate Thru Shaft shock, and ultra-responsive Shimano XTR 1×12 drivetrain. Bosch’s new limited-edition Performance Line CXR motor with faster acceleration and extended boost, a new Mini Remote, and Bluetooth® System Controller display that’s integrated into the top tube.
The final word
Rail 9.9 CXR is all about power. It combines top-shelf tech with Bosch’s ultra-fast accelerating, limited-edition, Performance Line CXR motor for cruising out of corners at top speed, and their biggest battery possible to power you, lap after lap.

“I like it so much that I bought one”
Watch Rob Rides EMTB put the new Rail with smart system through its paces both on and off the trail, and find out why he liked it so much that he had to have one!
“One of the best”
“Indeed the way it manages to balance big-hit compliance while still giving good pop is mighty impressive. Along with its stout chassis, long wheelbase and burly build kit, the Rail is capable of monster trucking its way down some pretty gnarly descents […] the Bosch Performance CX Line motor is another key component to the Trek Rail’s all-round performance. In our experience, this is the best full-powered motor out there.”
“Trek has really gone all out with this bike”
“My first thought about the Rail 9.9 is how it resembles a new school American muscle car, with a ton of carbon fiber and lots of digitally integrated sensors, and as always, more power than its predecessor […] If there was ever a bike that was ready for anything, the new generation of the Trek Rail 9.9 would be it.”
Best in Class winner!
It was a close competition, but not much could match the Rail on every type of terrain. The Bosch system will get you up any trail and the geometry is as close to perfect as we have found for all-around riding.
“Our e-bike of the Year”
“Rail dominates the descents and flattens the climbs…it’s every bit as potent as the Slash, but with its own built-in uplift.”
“Sets the bar”
“Whether flowing or technical, it literally glides by the competition like it’s on rails while also offering plenty of comfort for long days in the saddle.”
“E-MTB dominance”
“One of the best all-rounders in the test. This tuxedo-looking bike symbolizes class and intention with a big win on battery life.”
