Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 review

The Powerfly FS range is Trek’s answer to the daily use all-rounder. It’s designed to be a capable bike, which is comfortable on the urban routes, while also a fun ride on the trails. Getting that mix right is a real balancing act for a manufacturer because something has to give if it’s to be adept in both areas.

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 is the second-highest-spec bike in Trek’s range, so how does it cope in the mountains? And are there any limitations? We’ve put hours into the pedals on this Trek Powerfly FS 9, to get all the answers for you.

Our Verdict

A reliable bike to take on the daily commutes, but vastly overpriced compared with the competition.

The battery and motor pairing are areas to celebrate, offering great range and a strong amount of power to cart the bike’s heavy bulk around.

However, the manoeuvrability is poor and the bike isn’t suited to challenging, off-road terrain.

It’s too cumbersome; it doesn’t offer great handling, and the tyres just don’t have enough bite.

But it’s the price we can’t get over. It’s far more expensive than some strong competitors in the market.

  • Range reliability
  • Powerful motor
  • Manoeuvrability
  • Poor on technical terrain

Weight/frame.

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 has a heavy aluminium frame, which brings the sturdiness you need on a daily commute. It moves quickly when it picks up momentum, which is ideal when you’re on concrete cycle lanes, but it does come at a big cost.

It weighs in at a very heavy 27.05kg , which means it isn’t well-suited on twisty sections or for more challenging trail riding. It’s adept on forest paths and wide single-tracks, but the minute you throw in some more challenging terrain, it starts to feel like you’re trying to manoeuvre a tank.

Just how fast does the Trek Powerfly go with that weight, though? It can get up to 26km/h comfortably with the assist on, but faster with momentum.

It comes in five frame sizes, from XS up to XL, and has a few extra commuter friendly features, such as decent mudguard so you can keep your commuting clothes clean if you have an off-road section to tackle.

Plus it comes with a kick-stand, which is handy if you need to leave it outside a shop, especially considering its weight.

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 comes with a sizable 625Wh Bosch PowerTube battery . The PowerTube is a strong selection by the folk at Trek, and gives you a decent range.

We found that we could push out around 90km on one charge, with around 1,000m of climbing, and still had a little bit left in the tank to go on the following day.

These are good numbers for a bike designed for daily use – the last thing you want is constant range anxiety with a bike you need to use on a daily basis.

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 battery

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 comes paired with the excellent Bosch Performance Line CX motor . We’re big fans of the Performance Line CX, which can push out up to 85Nm of torque.

It’s one of the best motors out on the market right now, offering intelligent power delivery, reliability and a very powerful kick.

It works smartly with the Bosch PowerTube battery to release the power conservatively and it helps add to that reliability with the range estimation.

Considering the heavy overall weight of the bike, you need a solid motor accompaniment to drag you up challenging climbs and the Performance Line CX is certainly armed for the task at hand.

You could be mistaken for thinking the bike is much lighter by the way it makes easy work of big inclines, particularly on the concrete or hard-packed terrain; it feels heavier-footed on bobbly ground, though.

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 motor

Motor Display

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2’s display is another fantastic Bosch product. Not only does the motor itself bring reliability, but the display adds to that, offering many different customisable view options, depending on the demands of the day’s ride.

You can switch between four modes of assistance easily using the handlebar-mounted smart controller: Eco , Tour , e-MTB and Turbo . This offers you more than enough options to take on the type of terrain and routes that you’re likely to want to do on the bike.

You can also link all your data to your smartphone, with handy tools such as mapping data, RPM output, along with all the battery information you need to make sure you don’t run out on a ride.

The Bosch Performance Line CX motor and its display are spot-on products.

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 motor display

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 comes with 120mm travel at the front and 100mm at the rear . It’s set up with SR Suntour Zeron 35, air-sprung forks and RockShox SID Lux Select+ rear shocks .

We mentioned limitations earlier and this is certainly one to note. That suspension setup isn’t made for wild trail riding or even moderate trail riding, to be honest, and it soon comes unstuck on anything more complex than a wide single-track or forest road.

It doesn’t take lumps and bumps well and although it offers a small slice of cushioning, it really isn’t designed for the mountains.

ℹ️ If you’re wanting an off-road-focused bike, this really isn’t the one for you. This offers aspects which can cope in the countryside, but it’s also designed for paved streets. That compromise means that it loses out in certain areas. Suspension is one.

If you’re just looking for some forest tracks or country paths, then this offers an adequate amount of travel to cope with those demands and you switch from road to off-road terrain feeling pretty comfortable. Comfort is what the bike is designed for, but within the parameters we mentioned above.

Wheels/Tyres

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 rims

The wheel size on the Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 depends on the frame size you go for. The XS and S frame sizes come with 27.5in wheels , whilst the larger models come with 29in wheels – both a Bontrager alloy setup, with Bontrager LT4 Expert tyres .

The alloy wheels add to that stability you feel while riding the bike – they’re robust and give you a strong planted feel out on a ride. However, they are heavy and they contribute to the overall heavy bike weight.

The tyres offer you enough bite to cope with a slice of countryside, but also enough shedding ability so they can move quickly on the concrete, too – it’s another balancing act from Trek to be able to straddle both the off-road and on-road worlds, however, it comes at a cost.

ℹ️ The tyres don’t offer enough bite to be flying into technical corners or anything too steep, off-road. With the heavy weight of the bike, you could find yourself on the deck if you tried to push the bike in those settings.

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 brake

The Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 comes with Shimano XT M8120 4-piston brakes . They’re a powerful setup, and do offer a strong bite to contend with that weight and the chunky motor.

We felt like they adequately coped with the job in hand and never gave you any cause for concern – a relief considering the tyre issues

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2 drivetrain

This Powerfly FS Equipped is fitted with a Shimano XT M8100 12-speed drivetrain . A very reliable partnering, a bit like the motor and battery – offering smooth shifting and an ease of use.

The price is upsetting considering the bike’s limitations in quite a few areas. However, a decent chunk of that price is going towards the Bosch motor and battery, which are both extremely reliable and very good products to have at your disposal.

That eases the pain to a degree, but we still think it’s vastly overpriced for what you’re getting.

How Does it Compare?

There aren’t a huge number of manufacturers targeting this area because of the compromises you have to make to try and make the bikes work well in both commuting and trail environments.

However, Canyon has tried to step-up to the mark with its Pathlite: ON 5 SUV , so how does it stack up to our Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2.

Canyon Pathlite:ON 5 SUV

It comes with exactly the same battery and motor pairing, the 625Wh Bosch PowerTube battery and the Performance Line CX motor.

It also comes in slightly under the weight of our Trek, but only marginally at 26.86kg, due to its aluminium frame.

It has 100mm of travel at either end with a similar Suntour forks set-up and comes with 27.5 inch wheels, with Maxxis Crossmark II tyres, which offer a decent bite.

It’s a very similar bike to our Trek, which has the same sort of limitations – good on hard-packed and simple trails, but comes unstuck on anything more technical.

That said, Canyon has managed to keep the price down at $3,605 – nearly $5,000 cheaper than our Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped.

It really makes you wonder how Trek are trying to justify that huge difference, considering that the bikes really are very similar.

Final Thoughts

It’s a very overpriced bike, but it does the job it intends to – helping to bridge the gap between the daily commute, with a bit of trail riding.

It certainly has limitations, though.

It isn’t meant for any real degree of serious trail riding and it would come seriously unstuck on anything technical or particularly challenging.

However, it offers a comfortable ride experience for the daily commutes, on simple single-tracks and on forest roads.

It has a top battery and motor pairing, which bring great reliability, a chunky amount of range and a powerful kick to heave its heavy weight around.

We’re pained by the price, though. We just can’t understand the justification for the high price, particularly when you compare it to some competitors operating in this same sphere of the e-MTB world.

There are definitely pros and cons with this one, but it does the job the bike is designed for – reliability being a key theme. If that’s what you’re looking for, then get out there and give it a whirl.

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped in review – A new generation of E-trekking bike

vtt trek powerfly fs

With the Powerfly FS 9 Equipped, Trek have developed a unique concept that looks beyond conventional bike concepts and combines the best features of different worlds instead. Was the Powerfly FS 9 Equipped able to assert itself against the competition in our E-trekking bike group test?

vtt trek powerfly fs

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped in review – Is this what the next generation of trekking bikes feels like?

It’s all a matter of balance: with the Powerfly FS 9, Trek have made it their mission to blur the boundaries between bike categories and combine the best of the eMTB and E-trekking bike worlds. Instead of prioritising particular riding characteristics, Trek’s full-suspension ebike was developed to blend supposed opposites and create a balanced and harmonious riding experience, both on- and off-road. To find out whether the concept actually works, we tested the flagship Powerfly FS 9 Equipped, which weighs 27.10 kg and retails for € 6,999. The upright pedalling position allows you to concentrate on the trail ahead and is pleasantly balanced, distributing the weight evenly between the hands and saddle – the perfect prerequisites for a great tourer! At the same time, the balanced weight distribution ensures good control over the front wheel and generates lots of traction at the rear. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor delivers plenty of power in all situations and is easy to modulate thanks to the progressive eMTB mode. Moreover, the Trek has a second progressive mode called eMTB-Lite, which is optimised to provide increased range. The intuitive handling makes it easy to lean the bike into wide corners and take advantage of the wide handlebars to dodge potholes and obstacles with quick and controlled turns. Although it’s not as playful as a trail bike, the Powerfly is great fun and easy to control on easy trails, getting you to your destination quickly and safely even when the route includes unpaved trail sections on challenging terrain.

vtt trek powerfly fs

Well-equipped for everyday life and excursions

The wide, high-volume 2.4” Bontrager LT4 Expert tires generate plenty of traction and feel predictable both on tarmac and loose terrain, inspiring huge amounts of confidence in all situations and only sliding out in muddy conditions. Shimano XT four-piston brakes with 200 mm rotors provide powerful and reliable deceleration. Even on long descents with a full pannier on the rack, they deliver consistent braking power and good modulation. While at 108 kg the Trek has a relatively low maximum payload, even with a 10 kg pannier on the rack it’s good natured and easy to manoeuvre, feeling significantly more composed than other bikes with a higher maximum payload ratings – i.e., the Kalkhoff Entice 5 Advanced+. The pannier rack features a practical MIK rail, which makes it easy to attach compatible bags and is approved for a 25 kg load. The Supernova MINI 2 headlight and E3 tail light look great and are powerful enough for night riding. Unfortunately, other accessories don’t live up to the otherwise high-quality spec of the Powerfly. The plastic mudguards are too short and can’t prevent mud from flying onto the person riding behind you and the kickstand makes a loud rattling noise.Trek-Powerfly-FS9-Equipped-Trekking-E-Bike-Test-Review-2021-mag-0007.jpg

Tuning tip: Bosch Help Connect plan with fall detection for solo adventurers

Stiff – Riding comfort onboard the Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped

The suspension of the Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped consists of a SR Suntour Zeron 35 fork and semi-integrated RockShox SID Lux Select+ shock, controlling 120 and 100 mm travel respectively. Although the numbers suggest a high level of comfort, the suspension is tuned for maximum efficiency which translates into a stiff and sporty rear end. On smooth tarmac, this converts each pedal stroke into efficient propulsion, without the rear end bobbing. Small bumps and vibrations are mostly dealt with by the high-volume tires while the suspension takes care of bigger hits, working actively and efficiently. As a result, the Trek is less comfortable than the Riese & Müller Homage but, in return, doesn’t feel as sluggish. The low-slung top tube and 150 mm Bontrager Line dropper post make it easy to get on and off the bike.

Propulsion first! The sporty suspension is tuned uncompromisingly for efficiency and riding fun, not for comfort.”

A smartphone as an on-board computer – The connectivity of the Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped in detail

One of the most striking equipment features of the Trek is the versatile Bosch SmartphoneHub. For short rides, this can be used without a smartphone. The basic 1.5” display shows all key data such as battery charge and speed. If you want other functions like navigation or fitness tracking, you can connect your phone to the SmartphoneHub via the COBI.Bike app and Bluetooth. While riding, the smartphone is firmly attached to a spring clip on the SmartphoneHub, where it can be operated via remote and charged via the hub itself. The COBI.Bike app offers a wide range of functions including voice navigation. If you tend to ride a lot on your own, you should take a closer look at Bosch’s Help Connect function (€ 4.99/month or € 39.99/year) with fall detection mode. This can notify your local emergency services in the event of a crash and is currently available in 11 European countries.

Quick off-road blast or long weekend ride? The Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped doesn’t say no to either!“

This is what the future of trekking looks like – The Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped in detail

Even whilst stationary, the Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped cuts a damn fine figure. Particularly striking are the sporty silhouette with its low-slung top tube and the elegant finish with its dark accents. Unfortunately, the chaotic cable management in the cockpit area spoils the otherwise tidy look. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor is neatly integrated into the frame and protected by a skid plate, while the 625 Wh battery is integrated into the down tube and can be easily removed to the side. The battery cover features Trek’s trademark carrying- handle while the battery cover and charge-port cover on the seat tube are both painted to match the colour of the frame. The charge port cover is easy to open and closes automatically – awesome! Not only the frame but also components like the handlebars, dropper post and BontragerLine Comp 30 wheelset, which Trek also use on their other performance-oriented eMTBs, make a great impression. In the smaller XS and S sizes, the Trek Powerfly comes with smaller 27.5″ wheels while all other sizes roll on big 29” wheels.

Trek Powerfly FS 9 Equipped conclusion

The Trek Powerfly FS 9 is exceptionally versatile and covers a wide range of applications, giving the concept of trekking a whole new meaning. The finely-tuned suspension and balanced pedalling position ensure sporty yet predictable handling and top riding fun while inspiring huge amounts of confidence on long off-road expeditions. The everyday equipment makes daily commutes and weekend trips more comfortable. The elegant look rounds off the successful concept of the Trek Powerfly FS 9, which comes out on top in our E-trekking bike group test, securing the coveted Best in Test.

In his previous life Rudolf was a dab hand at promoting innovation, putting his brain behind big-ticket patent assessments that easily ran into six-or-seven-plus figures. These days, the self-confessed data nerd’s role as editor at DOWNTOWN and E-MOUNTAINBIKE is no less exciting. Given his specialism in connectivity, Rudolf’s often placed on the front line of future mobility conversations, but he’s also big into testing new bikes–both on the daily as a committed commuter and intensively for our group tests. The business economist graduate is as versatile as a Swiss penknife, and that’s no hyperbole. Away from two wheels, his background in parkour means he’s a master of front, side and backflips, plus he speaks German, English, French, Russian and a touch of Esperanto.

Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped review

An assisted full-suspension, big-travel commuter?

Russell Burton / Immediate Media

Russell Burton

Comfort; range; stability

Expensive, especially if you’re considering leaving it outside the local shop

The FS9 is top of Trek’s four-model Powerfly Equipped range of electric bikes designed to combine practicality for commuting with the off-road fun of the best mountain bikes .

Its specification, which combines a long-range 625Wh battery, a Bosch Performance 250W motor and a full-suspension setup with powerful four-piston brakes, is sending a message that it won’t flinch when the going gets tough.

Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped specifications

The Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped eBike is equipped with a Bosch Performance CX motor

At first glance, all that off-road tech seems at odds with the bike’s more sedate features, which include integrated full-length mudguards, a kickstand and built-in lights.

Trek’s promo video shows the sort of shopping trip we all wish we had, with a route mixing road and scenic dirt track, and I approached my first ride on the Powerfly hoping this could be the commuter bike of my dreams .

The strong Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels, shod in chunky 29x2.4in tyres, the SR Suntour Zeron 35 120mm suspension fork and RockShox SID Luxe Select+ rear shock are pulled from the mountain biking world.

The Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped eBike is equipped with Bontrager LT4 Expert 29x2.4in tyres

It’s a combination that would normally be compromised by its weight for commuting, but in pairing it with an 85Nm motor so powerful as to be unbothered by extra heft, Trek has managed to optimise the Powerfly for the commute.

And who wouldn’t want comfortable, grippy tyres, powerful brakes and plush suspension?

That suspension was something that gave me pause for thought before testing – can a full-suspension machine with a mountain bike heritage be efficient on the road? Yes. Keep reading to find out how.

Trek powerfly fs9 equipped battery life.

Not that I have experienced problems with battery range, regularly riding 70-90km, including over 1,000m of climbing, and arriving home with plenty in the tank.

There are four modes – Eco, Tour (eMTB Lite), eMTB and Turbo – and even on longer routes, I didn’t have to drop to Eco to preserve battery life, riding mainly in Tour mode with short boosts of added power.

Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped ride impressions

Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped eBike has 12speed gears

I’d not used this fork before and it surprised me – in a good way. It's stiff enough to support the bike’s weight, it doesn’t bounce when you’re pedalling hard on the road, yet it sucks up the chatter of poor tarmac.

Transitioning to forest tracks, it smooths the ride so you barely lose speed over rocks and roots.

The rear shock is unusually positioned behind the seatpost, but is protected by the full mudguard. It absorbs the bumps but, as with the fork, doesn’t bounce. It plants the back wheel into the ground in a way that feels secure and maintains grip right through corners.

That security and control is underlined by the Shimano XT four-piston brakes, which are strong enough to slow the weight of the bike quickly and smoothly without locking.

The Powerfly FS9 Equipped seems to love going fast in a straight line the most, and the distances I’ve ridden on a mix of roads and tracks are testament to its comfort and ride appeal.

It does, however, have limits on more technical terrain.

I’ve ridden it over the same terrain I use for testing the best electric mountain bikes , and there is no comparison – it doesn’t have the handling finesse for tight, twisty stuff.

If you have the skills, yes, you’d do it, but probably not in quite the style you’d like.

Sweet-spot pedalling helped by smart modes

The Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped eBike

The 10-51t gearing range is huge, but still I found myself succumbing to the temptation to stick to a few of the lower gears and default to switching between power modes.

It’s a habit that doesn’t get the most out of you or the motor, so I played with the onboard app and discovered it gives a readout for optimum cadence, turning green when you get it right.

That’s all to the good, though the weight means it’s not a bike you want to be caught out on without power. Moving between modes is quick and smooth, the motor picking up exactly where it needs to.

My only gripe is that when it tops out at 26km/h, the cut-off feels abrupt and the bike slows rapidly before kicking back to life. It’s not a seamless experience.

Accessories for the win

The Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped eBike is equipped with Supernova front and rear lights

The mudguards have good clearance and keep off most of what gets thrown up, even from wet, muddy tracks.

In fact, I came to appreciate all the commuting-specific accessories more than I expected. A kickstand may not feel that exciting, but once I used this rather than propping the weighty ebike against a wall, I was converted.

The built-in lights are powered by the battery, so there’s no reason to get caught without working illumination. The sturdy rack will bear up to 25 kilos and is compatible with most panniers .

Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped bottom line

The Trek Powerfly FS9 Equipped is an electric bike that makes you want to ride more – it allows you to take the more interesting routes less travelled on your commute and have fun on forest tracks at the weekend.

It would also be ideal for touring on long-distance tracks such as King Alfred’s Way in the south west of England, given its range, comfort and load capacity.

Embrace its niche and you’ll get the best out of this bike, and it could well get the best out of you as a rider – if you can afford it.

Custom eMTB Lite mode

Trek eMTBs feature a custom eMTB Lite mode in place of Tour mode. It gives you more natural-feeling power delivery and longer battery life.

Removable Integrated Battery

RIB is a one-piece battery and cover with a built-in handle that can easily be removed and re-installed in the frame with no tools and no hassle. It’s the most convenient way to remove your battery for transport, security, or just easier charging.

What is the range?

To see how far you can ride your electric mountain bike on a single charge, check out Bosch’s range calculator. We’ve auto-filled the variables for this bike model and the average rider, but you can make adjustments to get your most accurate estimate.

Compliant with leading safety regulations

The e-systems on Trek and Electra e-bikes are third-party tested to meet the latest e-bike safety regulations, including the stringent UL 2849 certification — so all you have to worry about is where your e-bike will take you next.

Suspension Calculator

This suspension calculator will help you optimize your suspension settings for your riding weight. Simply follow the steps to find your best set up.

Bosch Purion Display

Bosch's Purion display features a fully-functional speedometer with a backlit display, service interval indicator, and battery range indicator. Its thoughtful design allows riders to scroll through functions or choose the right level of support while maintaining contact with handlebars.

Smart Wheel Size

The right wheel size paired with your frame size gives you the perfect combination of responsiveness and control.

Dropper post

Use the remote lever to lower your saddle so it's out of your way when you're descending and cornering.

Integrated speed sensor

You've got one less detail to sweat with the integrated speed sensor. The chainstay-mounted sensor stays protected while the custom hub-mounted magnet stays secure—no more error codes from mis-aligned sensors.

Lighting ready

The bike is already internally wired to accept additional lights. Go to your dealer and simply have them attached to the bike and plug them in.

How tall are you?

To measure your height, stand straight up, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.

What is your inseam?

How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inseam measurement. Your inseam is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.

2019 Trek Powerfly FS 5 Review – Turbo or Nothing!

  • Bike Reviews
  • November 20, 2018
  • No Comments

vtt trek powerfly fs

E-Bikes are tonnes of fun. So an E-Bike from Trek must be tonnes more fun, right?! Trek’s 2019 Powerfly absolutely flattens climbs, and tumbles downhill with zero hesitation. With 250 watts of pedal power at your disposal, riding uphill is as dangerous as going downhill!

The Trek Powerfly FS 5 is second highest model in the range, in terms of spec. Right behind the FS 7, which comes out with some better suspension upfront, and an 11spd drivetrain. There is also good news, for the lady mountain bikers out there; Trek offer a FS 5 women specific model. All with the same components as the men’s FS 5, apart from the women specific saddle.   

vtt trek powerfly fs

Trek’s Powerfly FS 5 full-suspension, frame bridges the gap between smart integration, and sturdy performance. It offers Motor Armour, and a Knock Block head tube. The Alpha Platinum Aluminium, which Trek swear by, has been manipulated around the motor of the bike. While offering 130mm of rear shock travel. The battery also slots in conveniently from the right-side of the downtube, and can be easily removed for charging. The brand has accomplished this, without compromising on good mountain bike characteristics.

The E-bike Aspect:

The Bosch CX Performance motor spits out 250 watts of assistance. It comes with Bosch’s gear-shift detection technology. Which holds back strain on the chain of the gear-set while it hops from one gear to another. The motor itself is governed to cut out at 25km/h, yet still amplifies your pedalling force by 300% in turbo mode. What’s also cool and different about the CX Performance motor, is that it has an intelligent E-MTB motor mode. Which automatically decides how much assistance you need based on the terrain.

vtt trek powerfly fs

As far as battery life is concerned, the Powerfly FS 5 has a surplus of it. The 500wh battery, will give you a max range of 120km – in eco-mode. Usually, the battery is the bulkiest part of an e-bike. However, with Trek’s nifty side insertion on the downtube, you hardly notice it. You can also charge the battery without removing it from the bike. There’s a charging port near the motor, where you can plug the battery in to an electrical circuit.

Sneaky Suspension:

For a heavy E-Mountain Bike, the Powerfly’s suspension coped with the extra force brilliantly. Truth be told, the RockShox Recon RL fork was E-bike specific, and engineered more stiff than conventional forks. Its 130mm of travel, correspondingly had a distinguishable, smooth, compression. While the rear RockShox Deluxe RL shock, doesn’t include Trek’s RE:aktiv technology, it does come paired with a carbon rocker and Mino-Link. Does that make up for the missing RE:aktiv technology? We wouldn’t say so entirely, as the shock did feel a little sticky sometimes.

vtt trek powerfly fs

Geometry:  

The geometry that Trek have managed to pull-off with the Powerfly, impressed us greatly. The E-bike had a 67.4-degree head-tube angle, with a BB height of 33.3 cm. So the bike could clear the terrain below, with ease. A chain-stay length of 47.4 cm allowed the bike to handle like a traditional trail bike, by giving responsive traction on the back wheel.

There’s“power” in the Powerfly’s name. Needless to say, on climbs the bike waspowerful, and lethal. The pedal assist pretty much sprinted the bike uphill,with hardly much effort on our side. However, the only that held us back alittle, was the 10 speed gear-set. Yes, 10 gears are enough when riding an E-bike. But for the terrain we were on, mainly steep and technical, the drivetrain seemed a bit limiting.

vtt trek powerfly fs

Whilst flying during your climbing interval is certainly not far-fetched on the Powerfly, it is equally as fast on the downhills. The motor helps carry good momentum, but relents its power when the speedometer hits 25km/h. We can understand why. Since you don’t really need much assistance going downhill.   The suspension also proved to be superbly forgiving, despite the added weight of the bike’s battery and motor. One thing that we might change, however, is the tyre size. A wider tyre will add loads more control on descends.

vtt trek powerfly fs

The same can be said about how the bike corners through single-track. Wider tyres will add more control and stability, as the E-bike did tend to over-shoot corners a little. We know E-bikes can’t all be perfect. But the Trek Powerfly FS5 needs more potent brakes. Perhaps a higher model brake-set in the Shimano hydraulic disc range will do. Apart from adding stronger brakes and fatter tyres, the Powerfly is loaded with rad-ness. And the ride quality of the bike along the narrow trail, is quite golden.

vtt trek powerfly fs

The Trek team have integrated the motor and battery into the Powerfly’s frame, in a smart manner. As a result, a full-on focused E-bike bike was born. There is an atmosphere that implies that Trek have skimped on higher spec’d, mountain bike, components. But let’s face it, you’re not going to buy the Powerfly FS 5 to be the next Nino Schurter. You’re going to buy the E-bike, to have an awesome time on the trail, and on that level, the Powerfly more than delivers!

Trek Powerfly FS 4

The tech you get A durable aluminum frame that fully encases a long-range 500Wh battery, a powerful Bosch Performance CX (250Wh, 85 Nm) motor that helps you sustain speeds of up to 20 mph or 32 km/h, and an ergonomic Purion controller.

The powerful Bosch electric drive system makes it possible to tackle any climb you encounter and adventure farther than ever. Why you'll love it - For e-MTB, full suspension is a game-changer: it soaks up rugged terrain so you can ride the Bosch pedal-assist system to its full potential - Trek's Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system looks great and is super user-friendly: it fully hides the battery in the frame for protection, makes it easy to remove the battery without tools, and lets you mount a water bottle cage—even on full suspension e-MTBs - The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents - The Purion controller has Walk Assist and an intelligent eMTB mode that automatically delivers the right amount of power based on your terrain - Powerfly FS frames feature a curved top tube that makes standing over the bike easier.

One bike for all occasions – with the Trek Powerfly FS 7, the American brand promises to have created a true all-rounder. The smart concept should please everyone from trekking and leisure riders to moderate trail adventurers.

Electric Bike Review

Price: $5999.00 | Model Year: 2021 | A premium

A premium "do anything" full suspension electric bike that's equipped to handle pavement, trails, light mountain terrain, rain, shine, day, or night conditions. Available in five frame sizes for optimal fit, the XS and S come with 27.5" wheels and the M, L, and XL come with 29" wheels. Sold through one of North America's largest network of dealers. Trek and Bosch provide excellent support and warranty.

Custom made extra-wide plastic fenders are durable and quiet, very capable in off-road conditions. A sleek and sturdy rear rack provides 25kg (55lbs) of cargo capacity with pannier hangers on both sides and a removable top platform for trunk bags. Puncture resistant tires also feature unique black reflective stripes that combine safety with aesthetics.

Downtube-integrated battery pack and mid-drive motor keep weight low and center. Trek designed a "RIB" battery casing includes a handle for safe removal and transport. The battery doesn't rattle, and it can be charged on or off the bike with the fast 4 amp charger. Peformance Line CX motor is the most powerful from Bosch, but lightweight with a magnesium casing.

Highly adjustable air suspension front and rear with 120mm and 100mm travel respectively. Boost hub spacing and thru-axles increase wheel strength. Extra large 203mm hydraulic disc brakes with heat sinks and alloy cores deliver incredible stopping power. The biggest trade-offs here include the high price, smartphone display (that some may not like), louder motor operation, and increased weight (due to the high capacity battery and accessories).

Bikerumor

The 2021 Trek Powerfly full suspension e-MTBs blend European sensibility with modern trail capability for a unique e-mountain bike option.

Dropper post

Use the remote lever to lower your saddle so it's out of your way when you're descending and cornering.

How tall are you?

To measure your height, stand straight up, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.

What is your inseam?

How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inseam measurement. Your inseam is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
