At Trek World, Trek’s annual retailer show in Madison, Wisconsin, the company unveiled Powerfly, a new line of full suspension and hardtail pedal-assist mountain bikes. Powerfly’s North American release builds on what has quickly become one of Trek’s most popular bike lines in Europe. Powerfly will allow everyone to experience more of what makes mountain biking great, letting more riders go farther, ride more often, and tackle more challenging terrain.
Powerfly FS (full suspension) is modeled after the proven Fuel EX platform and equipped with 130mm of front and rear suspension. Powerfly builds on Trek’s legacy of MTB expertise with its proven ABP and EVO Link suspension design. The new full suspension Powerfly also features the latest in Trek’s mountain bike frame technology, including Boost hub spacing and the new Straight Shot down tube with Knock Block frame defense for true mountain bike performance.
The Powerfly hardtail features an Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame with an E2 tapered head tube for increased responsiveness and lower weight. The lineup of new hardtail Powerflys delivers pedal assistance in a range of models including a women’s specifc model.
All Powerfly models come equipped with a reliable Bosch Performance CX motor designed specifically for mountain bike use. The motor offers an impressive 75Nm of torque and four modes of assist. Trek’s exclusive Motor Armor offers additional protection to the weatherproof Bosch system for peace of mind in even the most brutal conditions.
As Trek brings these new pedal-assist mountain bikes to North American riders, they are also working with BPSA, People For Bikes, and IMBA to help evolve regulations around pedal-assist mountain bikes and educate riders on where pedal-assist mountain bikes can be ridden.
With new full suspension and hardtail options, there’s a Powerfly for any rider who wants to explore more terrain than ever before. All Powerfly models will be available in September at Trek retailers in North America.
