Hello,
I recently purchased Trek Rail5 and I am really enjoying it. I have not been mountain biking in recent years because of age and issues that come with it. But Now.. Its awesome. I am able to get back into the woods in the Poconos where I live and it feels great. Today I was over in the Palmerton area near the nature center and rode up to where the old bridge was. Never did that before.. Was really great.
Bike rides amazing. I also have an Alant7 that I have been riding for a year or so and really enjoy that, but the Rail is crazy. I never knew what a drop post seat was
I can see my self adding electronic shifting at some point, I did that on the Alant and its really cool.
I still cant get over how I can uphill the bike like I have never been able too. The Downhill ride is stable even at speed. I dont launch off things anymore but still like to ride technical single track and now I think I can do into my 70's .. (mid 50s now)
I am getting about ~25 miles out of it depending on how much up there is today it was around 800 ft and I rode about 18 miles and have about 10 miles left. I vary the setting a lot like Emtb mostly up, and then off or Eco down, eco or tour in the flats.
Anyway thought I would share this image.
