Once bitten….

[EckyP243]

Is not a case of twice shy !

Had my first eMTB experience in Austria last week. Was in a MTN Kapoho 7971. What a blast - almost as good as ski g and boarding down the same slopes!

I’m now looking to get an eMTB was thinking Trek 7 Rail?

Any thoughts. I live in Deanston, Doune, Scotland so close to Glen Coe and some other good trails.

I’m no ‘jumper’ enduro guy but enjoy a bit of speed and agility!

I’m looking for the best value for money trail eMTB.

Any help appreciated. Don’t want to buy second hand because I don't know enough to jeep myself safe from snags.

Thanks
Alex

Hi
Welcome to the forum

Glen Coe
is that near Stirling Shire ?.


If you like the technical stuff, maybe something lighter than a full fat might suit better. A Trek Fuel, (360wh) which is likely going to be 10lbs lighter. OR an Orbea rise maybe

Welcome.

I have a Rail 5 because I had loads of bits to move onto it, but the Rail 7 is the sweet spot.

Rail is a good bike. Fits your brief. Buy one and ride it like you stole it!
