The Rail+ 8 is an aluminium enduro e-bike with big power and tons of travel for wild, ride-anything adventures. It starts with an Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame paired with a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ RT shock and ZEB Select fork (160 mm front/rear) for making quick work of chunky backcountry rock gardens. You get the smooth-shifting performance of a Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain, stop-on-a-dime control from SRAM DB 8 4-piston disc brakes, a Bontrager Line dropper post and tubeless-ready Bontrager Line TLR 30 wheels.
You want a bike that maximises the fun and is up for gnarly rides that get you off the grid or just hammering in an extra lap or two. You need the capability of an enduro bike for pointing it down the rough and rowdy, and love the feeling of full assist taking the sweat out of the climb back to the top for more
An Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame with a Bosch Performance CX system (85 Nm, 250 W) and 800 Wh Removable Integrated Battery 2.0. A 160 mm RockShox ZEB Select fork with DebonAir spring, Motion Control damper and lockout and a RockShox Deluxe Select+ RT shock. All topped off with a Shimano XT and SLX blended 12-speed drivetrain, dropper post, Bontrager Line Comp 30 Tubeless Ready wheels and 4-piston Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
The Rail + 8 is an enduro e-MTB dialled for big adventures. It packs in capable, adjustable geometry, a massive battery and a powerful motor to get you wherever you want to go. An upgraded drivetrain balances price and performance for a ride that's ready for anything.
- The Rail+ delivers adventure with plenty of travel and power for getting after epic rides that take you peak to peak or chasing endless enduro laps
- The powerful Bosch Performance CX system goes full gas up steep climbs and keeps you cool for the descents
- You can tweak your geometry and suspension leverage rate for how you ride, and add in adjustable angle headset cups (sold separately) for even more adjustability
- Want even more boost? With the Bosch e-Bike Flow app, you can increase torque to 100 Nm and peak power up to 750W.
- The massive 800 Wh RIB 2.0 battery supports you for big miles and can be easily removed for travel or storage, and is compatible with PowerMore for even bigger rides
Bosch Performance Line CX motor: 100 Nm upgrade ready
Bosch Performance Line CX sets the standard for eMTB performance with 85 Nm of torque out of the box, but can be tuned all the way up to 100 Nm and 750 W of power using the Bosch eBike Flow app. The Bosch smart system also has intelligent eMTB mode with Extended Boost that automatically adjusts the amount of assist based on the terrain.
New RIB 2.0
Removable Integrated Battery (RIB 2.0) makes it easy to remove your battery for more convenient charging or travelling, and you don't have to worry about dropping it thanks to a secondary safety catch.
Extend your ride
Wanna take your ride even further? Pair a 250 Wh PowerMore range extender with your bike to chase your most epic adventures.
Bosch Mini Remote
The compact, ergonomic Mini Remote lets you easily change assist level, activate Walk mode, or turn on optional lights, all without moving your hand off the handlebar. Plus, it's wireless and connects with your System Controller via Bluetooth
Mixed wheel size
You get a 29" front wheel for monster truckin' over stuff, with a smaller 27.5" wheel out back for getting rowdy.
Adjust the suss for full send
Adjust the leverage rate with just a flip of a chip. Ride it in the Less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails with square-edge bumps. Flip it to More progressive when you're hitting big features and don't want to bottom-out, or when you want to run a coil shock.
