Powerfly eMTB is an electric mountain bike which Combines proven off-road capability with motorized convenience, the Trek Powerfuly 8 FS Plus Electric Mountain Bike pairs a Shimano drivetrain with a Bosch Performance.

Trek Powerfly 9 FS Plus has 2.8″ tires. It comes with 130 mm of RockShox travel from a PIKE RC fork and a Deluxe RT3 rear shock. The bike rolls with the popular Bosch Performance CX motor, and you can adjust the pedal-assist using its new Purion display. The mellow, low-profile Bontrager Chupacabra plus-size tires don’t scream traction on the stand, but in reality they generate sufficient footing on the ground.

Trek has also developed a KnockBlock in the headset which is designed to protect the frame from damage potentially caused by the bars or fork. It’s an admirable idea and doesn’t affect how it rides; however, it does make it trickier to pack the bike in the boot of the car. With a total length of 1,243 mm, the striking Trek Powerfly FS is the second longest bike on test. The riding position is so comfortable that it is almost sofa-esque, making you reluctant to get off the saddle.

The full suspension Powerfly makes mountain biking even more fun. The Bosch Performance CX pedal assist e-bike system makes for a supremely capable electric bike that allows you to go farther and have more fun.

The full suspension Powerfly eMTB models are designed as mountain bikes through and through. All the features, components, and capability of their counterparts with the added benefit of pedal assist.

Their patented ABP (Active Braking Pivot) keeps your suspension from stiffening up when you’re on the brakes, giving you confident, steady control and Knock Block is integrated, redundant frame defense. The headset, top tube chip, stem, and downtube bumper protect against spinning handlebars.

At the heart of the pedal-assist drive is the rugged, reliable, mountain-ready Bosch motor with additional, integrated motor protection. It supports speeds up to 20mp/h.

 

Combining proven off-road capability with motorized convenience, the Trek Powerfuly 8 FS Plus Electric Mountain Bike lets you explore farther, longer. It pairs a Shimano drivetrain with a Bosch Performance.
