Ready to shred tacky winter/spring trails may I present the 2021 Trek Rail 9.8 XT in Large (Carbon). This bike has been well ridden and well loved. It DOES have many cosmetic blemishes from many trail sessions. It DOES NOT have any issues or structural defects and rides clean. The core of the bike, the motor and battery, ride as new still (and this battery is not one of the noisy batteries found on some Trek Rails). All the components are in good working order, including the very plush suspension with the amazing Zeb fork. This bike has always received more maintenance than scheduled as I am an amateur mechanic and my friend owns Solstice Bike shop. She has recently received a full tune-up (including brake bleed and fork lowers service) and is running great. In the last 6 months the bike has received new wheels, new cranks, new chain, new rotors, new pads ,and a new xt derailleur as well. She rides basically like she did when I took her home from the shop. The Trek Rail is still a very "relevant" bike. This was one of the first bikes to receive the Bosch CX Gen 4 systems which holds its own against the newest versions of other motors/batteries. On the uphill the Rail has more torque than bikes equipped with other systems. And on the downhill the very plush suspension and geometry of this bike combined with 29" wheels make it extremely fast. It's a great example of a "point and shoot" emtb ready to gobble up the mountain. Please no low-balls, trades, fakes, scams, flakes, or other non-serious contact. I would prefer local pickup as emtb's are heavy and bulky and I have never shipped one before. If you would like to buy the bike and have it shipped, I will make that happen, but buyer pays shipping and handling. Per Trek: "Rail 9.8 is a long-travel carbon electric mountain bike that rips just as hard as our beefiest trail rigs and powers you right back up the mountain. It features awesome upgrades to the suspension, drivetrain, and brakes for exceptional performance on the gnarliest runs." There were lots of great reviews of this bike which won numerous "best of the year" award.
