Is that a Typo on their website or there are two different version of wheels on the 2021 Rail 9.8?

Hi, I’m located in Canada, and I was comparing the specs on the Rail 9.8.
In the US version, the 2021&2022 have Rapid Drive 108 on the rear wheel.However, in the Canadian version, the 2021&2022 have Rapid Drive 54 on the rear wheel.

Here is the link,
2021 US version,
Rail 9.8 | Trek Bikes

2021 Canadian version,
Rail 9.8 | Trek Bikes (CA)

2022 US version,
Rail 9.8 XT | Trek Bikes

2022 Canadian version,
Rail 9.8 XT | Trek Bikes (CA)

So is that a typo on Trek’s website or they actually made two wheel versions and sell it to different countries? How can we tell which hub we got from the exterior?

Thanks

Even if you do get the 54 hub, it's easy and inexpensive to covert it to the 108 - just 3 pawls and springs.

Is not only the hub. They seems redesigned the Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels on 2021 along with the updated hub, I just want to know if the Bike comes with the new wheels or the old one.

I bought 2 Rail 9.7 from the same model year, with the brake and tire spec different when each were delivered. It’s tough to say what you’re going to get until it arrives. I see a similar statement on many sites but I pulled this direct from Trek:
