Trek E-Caliber 9.8 GX AXS Electric Mountain Bike 2021
With its lightweight carbon construction and pinpoint handling, the Trek E-Caliber 9.8 GX AXS Electric Mountain Bike looks and feels like an elite level cross country bike. It uses much of the game-changing technology seen on the Supercaliber, including the IsoStrut integrated rear shock frame design, yet couples it with a Fazua motor system for a boost of power.
Neatly integrated into the frame is the exceptional Fazua Evation Drive Pack. With a 250Wh battery and up to 55Nm of torque, this punchy motor is the perfect addition to this frame. The profile is slim to retain the aesthetic of a traditional bike, and the Drive Pack can be removed, for lightweight, non-electric riding. The sleek Fazua Remote BX controller offers easy mode switching, ensuring an assistance level for all terrains and gradients.
Furthering on this high-tech design is the parts specification, which sees this bike equipped with the fully wireless SRAM GX AXS drivetrain for state of the art shifting. E*thirteen carbon cranks offer race-ready performance, and the tubeless-ready Bontrager Kovee Pro 30 Carbon wheelset is lightweight for rapid acceleration. The Rapid Drive 108 rear hub offers near-instantaneous acceleration, while the RockShox SID Select+ and FOX IsoStrut shock work in tandem to offer bump-soaking traction and a wide degree of adjustment.
Highlights
- Fully-wireless SRAM GX 12-speed drivetrain for state of the art shifting performance
- You get a helping hand from the motor on climbs and long rides, but it is a more natural-feeling assist that gives you an overall experience that is closer to riding an analogue bike than a typical e-MTB
- The Fazua drive system, including the motor, is easily removable. Just take it out, pop on the included cover, and you will have a standard mountain bike that weighs 2.9 kg less than before
- IsoStrut gives you just enough rear suspension for cross-country traction and comfort with less weight and more efficiency
- The pivotless seat stays save on weight and actively bend to help soak up trail chatter
- BLACK PEPPER firmware update enhances the performance of the bike
- OCLV mainframe, with IsoStrut suspension, Control Freak internal routing and Knock Block
- Lightweight Bontrager Kovee carbon wheelset improves climbing and handling
- Fast-rolling 29” wheels for ultimate cross country performance
