Within just a few minutes of riding, the Bosch CX-equipped 29-inch Trek Rail gives the immediate impression of e-MTB dominance. Extra effort on this bike is rewarded more than any other since the motor just keeps on pulling, giving that a little bit of consistent extra torque that makes it amazing in scenarios where you're pushing things to the max. The Rail also won the Energizer Bunny Award for the best battery longevity in our test.

Ultimately, the Trek Rail does everything pretty well, making it one of the best all-rounders in the test. With descending characteristics you'd expect from your favorite Trek mountain bike, the Rail is easy to ride and even easier to climb with its snappy torque and steady pull. If budget is of no concern, the 9.9 build is near the top of the pecking order in the E-MTB landscape. It's not as playful or charismatic as some of the others, but this tuxedo-looking bike symbolizes class and intention with a big win on battery life.
