Trek launched the 'Powerfly FS 9 Equipped,' a high-performance electric mountain bike that boasts top-quality components in nearly every area. This is a full-suspension e-bike with 120mm maximum fork travel and 29" tubeless Rapid Drive tires. The bike is more than capable of traversing intense off-road conditions while ensuring the rider is comfortable regardless.
The bike is powered by a 'Bosch Performance Line CX' motor that outputs 85Nm of torque. This results in 20mph max pedal-assisted speed. The motor is powered by the 'Bosch PowerTube 625' battery that delivers a long range per charge. One of the most notable features of the Powerfly FS 9 Equipped, though, is its accessories. The bike features a kickstand, a custom fender, a rear cargo rack, front and back-facing LED lights, and a smart display that is controllable from a smartphone.
The Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped is available now at an MSRP of $5,885.99 USD.
