The Rail+ 9.8 is a carbon enduro e-MTB made for chasing after distant peaks and hammering out laps. It starts out with a hard-hitting OCLV Mountain Carbon frame that partners with 160 mm of front and rear travel from a Fox Performance Elite suspension package to eat up deep roots and chunky rock lines. A 12-speed wireless SRAM GX Eagle transmission keeps shifting smooth, even under serious load, while SRAM CODE Bronze 4-piston brakes provide the stopping power you need. It's finished off with a Bontrager Line dropper post and Bontrager Line Comp 30 tubeless-ready wheels for charging into anything.
It's right for you if...
You chase big rides with even bigger terrain and need an e-bike that can keep up. You want plenty of suspension for gobbling up roots and rocks and a full-assist motor that doesn't wallow on punchy climbs. You care about upgrades where they matter most, like a carbon frame, upgraded suspension package and fully wireless SRAM transmission.
The tech you get
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with Bosch Performance CX system (85 Nm, 250 W) and a massive 800 Wh RIB 2.0 removable integrated battery. A 160 mm RockShox ZEB Select+ fork with DebonAir spring and Charger 3 RC2 damper, and RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock. Tubeless Ready Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels, a wireless SRAM GX AXS transmission, 4-piston SRAM CODE Bronze hydraulic disc brakes and an internally-routed dropper post.
The final word
The Rail+ 9.8 is ready for epic rides that take you far beyond the beyond. With plenty of travel for rowdy terrain, a powerful motor for crushing big climbs, and a massive battery that keeps you going mile after mile, this beast of a bike is built for it all.
