Lead times - Trek Rail 5

[Hugh74]

Hi All,

Anyone know typical lead times for a Trek Rail 5 in the UK? just noticed they’ve just hiked the prices up. Base model Rail 5 with the 500w battery now £4,300.

I’ve been debating between a Turbo Levo vs. Trek Rail 5. Will be mainly used for trail riding (Glentress etc) and some local trails near me so happy to go base model. The reliability of the Bosch gen 4 is leaning me towards the Rail 5. Only had a shot on the Levo which I rode at Glentress and loved it but the issues with the Brose put me off.

Blazing Saddles web site is showing large and medium in stock at £4145 for the 625 model. It's a shame that LBSs don't seen to be able to get hold of bikes - and a double shame if we end up paying more.

Tell me about it. But hopefully the weather will be good to ride it

I emailed Blazing Saddles who replied this morning saying they are out of stock but due some new stock in Feb.

My friend asked Leisure Lakes for lead time on new order of a Rail 9, reply 11 months ?

Jeez I expected a wait but not that long! I've emailed my local bike shop to ask on lead times on the levo and whyte e150. Those are the other 2 I'm looking at and they dont sell Treks.

In normal times it would make sense to buy local, but when there is a 6 month delay for buying local I am not so sure.

They aren’t in stock if you check shipping time.

Evans have them, I got my 9 from them as nowhere else had stock & were quoting crazy lead times. When I spoke to them the guy said they only list them on the website if they have stock - Trek Rail 5 SX 625 2021 Electric Mountain Bike | Evans Cycles
