TREK E-Caliber 9.8 GX AXS Gen 1 2022
The E-Caliber 9.8 GX AXS is an ultralight carbon electric mountain bike that rides and looks like a conventional cross-country bike. It features the same race-ready technology as the Supercaliber, such as our unique integrated shock, the IsoStrut, and the sleek Fazua drive system, which provides a boost just when you need it. You can make lightning-quick gear changes thanks to the GX Eagle AXS wireless electrical drivetrain.
The answer is yes if…
You’re a serious cross-country rider who dreams of finding the perfect electric mountain bike (e-MTB) to love you and push you to the edge. It’s also a terrific option for individuals who want to spend more time on their bikes or ride with friends who are faster.
That cool new gadget you got
A RockShox SID Select+ 120mm fork and a Trek IsoStrut rear shock round out the package of this lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame. The motor and 250-watt-hour battery pack of the Fazua Evation can provide assistance at speeds up to 20 mph and provide no wind resistance when turned off. Wider Kovee Pro 30 carbon wheels with a 108-tooth Rapid Drive rear hub, an SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic drivetrain, and a Bontrager Line Elite dropper post.
A closing statement
Taking its cues from the cross-country mountain bike Supercaliber, the singletrack-focused E-Caliber can reach incredible speeds. An optimal amount of assistance is provided by the Fazua drive system, and the latest wireless electronic drivetrain from SRAM guarantees lightning-fast, precise gear changes.
This is why you’ll love it
In comparison to standard electric mountain bikes, the assistance you receive from the motor on climbs and lengthy rides feels more natural, making the experience feel more like riding a conventional bike.
The motor and drive system can be detached quickly and easily. Simply remove it, cover it with the provided sleeve, and you’ll have a conventional mountain bike with a weight savings of 2.9 kg.
The SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain is high-tech, silent, and wireless.
With IsoStrut, you can get the rear suspension you need for cross-country riding while reducing weight and increasing efficiency.
Reduced in weight without sacrificing flexibility, the pivotless seat stays actively flexed to dampen trail noise.
