Trek Powerfly 5 Review

When it comes to hardtail electric mountain bikes there’s an awful lot of choice (if they’re in stock) from the big-name manufacturers. When one of my friends called me last week to say he’d brought a Trek, I was eager to try it out. In this Trek Powerfly 5 review, I will take a closer look at the specifications and share with you my opinions after spending a couple of hours with it on Bodmin Moor .

Introduction

Trek’s mountain bike heritage goes back to 1983 when they released the 850 – fast forward 28 years and they have a comprehensive range of high-end e-MTBs ranging in price from just over £2500 to up to an eye-watering £11500.

At £3750 the Trek Powerfly 5 sits at the upper end of their hardtail range and benefits from the latest Bosch Performance Line CX motor with a 625Wh battery. The Powerfly 5 also boasts Rockshox forks and SRAM Eagle SX 12-speed drivetrain.

My friend had been talking about upgrading his Cube Acid hardtail e-MTB for some time and we’d previously discussed the merits of the Trek. He recently took the plunge and purchased the bike reviewed here.

First impressions

The first thing that struck me about the Trek Powerfly 5 was how stunning the paintwork finish is – it’s a gorgeous bike in the ‘slate/volt’ colour scheme. Mind you, you’d expect nothing short of this on an e-bike costing more than a decent second-hand car!

Although the 17″ frame was a bit on the short side for me, with the seat post properly adjusted it felt quite comfortable. My friend paid an extra £200 to have the optional Bontrager dropper seat post fitted, which is a must if you’re going to be tackling the trails.

Riding some rock-strewn single track the Trek feels sure-footed. For an older rider like me, the Powerfly 5 inspires confidence (maybe a bit too much) and is great fun to ride. Where this e-bike comes into its own is when the trail turns upwards – it’s not the first Bosch CX I’ve experienced but this motor never fails to impress me with its 85Nm of torque. Riding up steep tracks is helped even further by the trail-busting SRAM Eagle 11-50 12-speed rear cassette, meaning you never run out of gears.

Although my ride was fairly brief I was thoroughly impressed with the off-road abilities of the Trek, it’s a great all-around package suitable for beginners, intermediate or the older more experienced cyclist who’s returning to mountain biking after a long break. Below I will go into more detail on the components.

Electric components

The high-end mountain bike world is dominated by either the Bosch CX or Shimano Steps E8000 / EP8 of Brose motors. It’s good that manufacturers recognised the demand for a greater battery range and the Trek Powerfly 5 comes with the Bosch 625Wh power tube battery which is neatly integrated into the frame.

Bosch Performance Line CX

The Bosch Performance Line CX motor benefits from several upgrades over the previous model, most notably the 85Nm torque output offering the rider up to 340% assistance.

There’s the new Extended Boost mode which makes negotiating rocks and exposed roots on the trail much easier, particularly uphill. This means the bike can be manoeuvred with greater agility on technical sections.

Revised e-MTB mode – This ensures the rider is well-prepared for whatever situation the trail has in store. New sensor and motor control functions give mountain bikers a much wider range of dynamic and natural support.

The Bosch motor is smooth and the whine from the motor is quiet and not intrusive. Performance is as good as you will find on a road-legal e-MTB and it adds a whole new dimension of fun when riding off-road.

625Wh Powertube battery

I first rode an e-bike with a 625Wh battery at the end of 2019 and having the extra capacity will ensure riders can spend more time enjoying the trails. The range will depend on lots of different variables but 50 miles should be achievable when riding off-road – check out the Bosch range calculator for a rough estimate of battery range from the 625Wh battery.

Bike components

Quality components are a must on electric mountain bikes at this price point and the Trek Powerfly 5 doesn’t disappoint. I have gone into more detail on the specification below.

The gearing is comprised of an SRAM Eagle single-click 12-speed shifter with an NX Eagle rear derailleur and 11-50 cassette – as the Bosch uses an ISIS-type crank interface, an SRAM X1 crankset is fitted. The drivetrain is finished off with a high-quality SRAM SX Eagle chain.

Braking is provided by the excellent Shimano MT-420 4-pot calipers with 203mm brake rotors – as expected these brakes work well and will provide more than enough stopping power for most riders. I found them to be excellent, and you only need to use one finger for braking.

If found the 120mm Rockshox Recon RL suspension forks worked very well indeed. Although they are at the lower end of Rockshox forks they feature trickle-down technology from more expensive forks and feature Motion Control™ damping which features low-speed compression adjustment to lockout.

Wheels and tyres

The wheelset is a disc-specific Bontrager Kovee Comp 23 with Boost 110, 15 mm thru axle at the front and a Boost 148, 12 mm thru axle at the rear. Tyres are Bontrager XR3 Comp, wire bead, 30 tpi, 29×2.30″ which seemed to handle the damp moorland trails very well. If you wish to upgrade to a tubeless set-up these wheels are tubeless-ready. The hub is a standard 9/10 speed Shimano freehub.

Frame and finishing kit

For the frame Trek use their Alpha Platinum Aluminium which is their premium lightweight aluminium designed for maximum strength and minimum weight. As I’ve mentioned above the finish is exquisite and looks incredibly hard to wear.  The frame also benefits from internal routing for lights (should you choose to fit them) and a direct kickstand mount.

All of the finishing kits are all by Trek’s in-house brand Bontrager which is of excellent quality. This bike also had the optional Bontrager Line Dropper seat post fitted which costs an additional £199.99.

If I was in the market for a capable hardtail electric mountain bike I’d be very tempted by the Trek Powerfly 5. It’s great fun to ride and feels very capable on a rough single track – the handling inspires confidence and that Bosch motor is the icing on the cake!

There are cheaper options available and if you’re new to electric mountain biking you may not want to spend quite so much on your first purchase.

Having said that, if I had the money to spend on a nice hardtail e-MTB the Trek would certainly be on my shortlist. Other plus points are the excellent brakes, SRAM 1 x 12 gearing and the 625Wh battery.

My friend has brought this e-bike with the intention of keeping it for a good few years and I’ll post any relevant updates here.

Thanks for the review, even though I discovered this after buying my Powerfly 5, I still found it useful and relatable. I picked mine up in November and have given it a good testing over the winter months – what a brilliant bike! Even though I could have spent less for a Cube reaction, which I almost did. I’m glad I spent more on this. The only issues I have encountered are tyre pressures since going tubeless, but I think that’s more the tape inside rather than the rims thenself.

2019 Trek Powerfly FS 5 Review – Turbo or Nothing!

• Bike Reviews
• November 20, 2018
• No Comments

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.   

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 2019 Review – now with a carbon frame and fully-integrated battery

The Trek Powerfly has become a true eMTB classic and has undergone several updates over the years. To keep up with the competition for the new season Trek equipped the latest version of their popular bike with an integrated battery and also introduced two fine carbon versions of the Powerfly LT. Here you’ll find all the details!

A few years back Trek did a great job and gave the Powerfly a well thought-out and very well balanced geometry — which once again fully convinced us in our latest test . Sure there are more nimble bikes on the market but the new Powerfly strikes a great balance between uphill and downhill performance. For the new season Trek sticks to the proven geometry and rear-end of the previous version but ads a fully integrated, removable battery. On top of this the new model is available in two carbon versions and the spec has been optimised too. All Plus models are now rolling on sturdy, grippy Bontrager XR4 tires and all Powerfly LT models feature powerful four-piston brakes.

Here are the highlights of the 2018 Powerfly line up at a glance:

– New fully integrated, removable battery – Two Powerfly LT carbon models – eMTB-specific fork on all Powerfly LT models – Four-piston brakes on all LT models – Bontrager XR4 tires on all Plus models – More colour options – SRAM Eagle groupset on some models – Robust RockShox Revelation on the Powerfly FS7 model – Updated Bontrager Line dropper – Powerfly Sport-Hardtail with lights and mudguards

 Trek RIB: probably the best fully-integrated and removable battery on the market

There is a vast choice of eMTBs with integrated battery on the market but only a few systems are thoroughly thought-out and refined down to the last detail. Some bikes come with super long batteries, on others the battery can’t be locked and can only be removed with the help of tools. And then there are systems made up of several parts (battery and cover). A battery can weigh up to 4 kg so when you remove it you have to be really careful not to drop it on the floor and break it.

You can tell that the engineers at Trek gave the development of the RIB system (removable integrated battery) a lot of thought. The battery and the cover are one solid unit and the 500 Wh Bosch Powertube battery can be removed to the right hand-side. The system makes sense as most of us tend to lay their bike on its left side to avoid damage to the rear derailleur. Once you released the battery with the key it will pop out by a few centimetres; after depressing the big button you can remove the battery completely. An integrated handle makes the whole procedure easier – what an ingenious system! In addition the new integration allows you to place a bottle cage and a large drinking bottle in the main frame triangle.

The new carbon frame allows for less weight and sleeker integration

The new carbon frame proves just how much Trek believed in the geometry of the previous Powerfly LT model. The Americans could have revised the geometry for the latest update of the Powerfly but decided to stick to the familiar and very popular concept instead. Therefore the main advantages of the new carbon frame are a weight reduction of around 650 g and the significantly sleeker integration and appearance of the bike. Trek has equipped the top tube with a mounting option for a Wolftooth B-RAD system. The system allows you to quickly attach either an inner-tube or a tool to the bike and forget about carrying uncomfortable backpacks on short rides. In typical Trek style all Powerfly models come with a RE:aktiv rear-shock and ABP-link which keeps the suspension fully active even under braking. The geometry can be adjusted between two positions via a flip chip.

Revised spec for the Trek Powerfly LT Alu

Even if you won’t buy one of the carbon versions with the Powerfly LT you’ll get quite a few performance upgrades in the coming season. In addition to the battery integration Trek has adapted the spec of the bikes. All Powerfly LT models feature an eBike-specific fork and powerful four-piston brakes. Trek also redesigned the Bontrager Line dropper seat post and used the new SRAM Eagle groupset. Compared to the cheaper Schwalbe Nobby Nic Performance tires the new Bontrager XR4 offer noticeably more grip and puncture protection.

The Trek Powerfly LT 2018 on the Trail

We had the opportunity to test the Powerfly LT 9 at Trek’s launch-event on the gorgeous and varied trails in the Swiss Heidi-Land. Compared to the previous model the handling of the new version has changed very little. The better grip of the new tires might be the most noticeable change on the new version of the Powerfly. Like its predecessor the new Powerfly is a confident climber. The steep seat angle and rather long chainstays will get you at the top of steep climbs without a problem.

On the downhill the Powerfly feels safe and balanced. It’s not the nimblest bike out there but it’s still very easy to ride. You won’t have to shift your body weight too much to get good grip on both wheels and the bike will always feel pleasantly predictable. But if you’re looking for a very lively super nimble bike the Powerfly might not be able to fully satisfy you. Quick direction changes and narrow sections require a very proactive riding style and quite a lot of strength.

Our take on the new Trek Powerfly LT

Good stuff made better! Trek didn’t reinvent the wheel but the new Powerfly is a better version of the popular bike with many added improvements. The handling is very similar to the previous version. However you can clearly feel the performance upgrade of the tires. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to ride the new carbon version yet but even just the look of it has already convinced us. We’re not sure whether the carbon upgrade is worth the extra money but since our purchasing decisions are often driven by aesthetics and emotions we think that the new Powerfly Carbon will have certainly find many fans.

Trek Powerfly FS 5

• AUS $ NZD $ USD $ CAD $ GBP £ EUR €

Weight / M - 23.81 kg / 52.5 lbs (with tubes)

At a glance

Powerfly FS 5 is a versatile, confidence-inspiring, full suspension electric mountain bike. This 130mm full suspension trail bike has the extra boost of a powerful Bosch motor, a trail-tough Shimano drivetrain, and a durable Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame with Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) for better balance on the trail, great looks, and exceptional ease of use.

Where To Buy

"Trek electric bikes are some of my favorites"

"It's nice to have a dropper post, fully-adjustable suspension, and a frame that is well-balanced. The drive system is positioned well and performs incredibly. Trek really dialed in their rear suspension and ABP reduces skipping so the rear wheel track the ground. The removable battery pack with a handle makes this an easy bike to lift, transport, service on the trail, and park securely."

"An absolute riot"

"On terrain that an elite-level XC racer would struggle to conquer, the Powerfly winched up huge mountains with seamless power delivery, especially in eMTB mode that automatically matches your effort. Planted and sure-footed on the descents, it gives you the confidence to release your grip on the powerful brakes and push the tires to the limit."

"Easily one of our top choices"

"The eMTB mode is a fantastic alternative to the manually adjusted power settings found on most other e-bikes. The beauty is that eMTB mode works so well, you can forget about it entirely and focus on the ride instead. Having e-bike specific forks and four piston brakes for example is something that seems obvious, but surprisingly few companies actually make happen."

Powerfly battery range?

• Thread starter Hooston76
• Start date Nov 5, 2019
• Tags battery range
• Nov 5, 2019

Recently bought a Powerfly fs5 and have done approximately 6 rides and every time after I have done a full charge I get a range of 56km in Eco setting and even less in the rest of the settings, is this correct or about accurate? Disappointed in that I can only get 25km with about 700m of climbing, admittedly I am 125 kg and use Eco and Tour setting when climbing. Bike shop says the battery should have a longer range. They doing a diagnostic check on the bike now. Will appreciate all feedback.  

🛠️Wrecker🛠️

Range depends on so many factors it's practically impossible to give you an answer. It's affected by weight, speed, terrain, surface, pedaling efficiency, cadence, mode, etc. eBike range calculator for Bosch drive systems That range sounds like it's in the right ballpark. I'm a bit lighter than you but have flattened a battery in under 16KM with 1100m of climbing using Turbo. I've also had rides of 45KM with 762m and still had 12KM range left using mostly Eco with a bit of Tour at the end once my knees have given up. A normal ride for me is c.30KM and 1000m and I usually make it back to the car before the battery gives up.

It's affected by weight, speed, terrain, surface, pedaling efficiency, cadence, mode, etc. eBike range calculator for Bosch drive systems That range sounds like it's in the right ballpark. I'm a bit lighter than you but have flattened a battery in under 16KM with 1100m of climbing using Turbo. I've also had rides of 45KM with 762m and still had 12KM range left using mostly Eco with a bit of Tour at the end once my knees have given up. A normal ride for me is c.30KM and 1000m and I usually make it back to the car before the battery gives up. Click to expand...

Hooston76 said: Recently bought a Powerfly fs5 and have done approximately 6 rides and every time after I have done a full charge I get a range of 56km in Eco setting and even less in the rest of the settings, is this correct or about accurate? Disappointed in that I can only get 25km with about 700m of climbing, admittedly I am 125 kg and use Eco and Tour setting when climbing. Bike shop says the battery should have a longer range. They doing a diagnostic check on the bike now. Will appreciate all feedback. Click to expand...

Upgraded suspension fork, hydraulic brakes vs mechanical, better saddle, derailleur, cassette range, battery, and display from the regular Moscow version

The kickstand works decently well but can block the left crank arm when down, 2amp charing is slow for the high capacity battery, some wires stand out vs. being completely internal, not much room to add things on the handlebar
