For the rider who heads out for the day, explores the hinterland or links loops between vineyards and villages around Béziers. It suits people who want to cover distance at their own pace, without worrying about the battery halfway round.
Nine speeds and 540 Wh to get out of town. This District+ combines the range's mid-sized battery with the Shimano CUES derailleur drivetrain. The 50 mm Bontrager Girona Comp tyres, with a puncture-protection layer under the tread, roll well on tarmac and handle hard-packed tracks. The Active Line Plus motor provides progressive, jolt-free assistance, appreciated when riding in a group.

| Fitted to | District+ N5 B, N7, N7 B | District+ R9, R10 | Depending on the drivetrain chosen |
| Size | 700x50 | 700x50 | Same air volume, same comfort |
| Protection | Hard-Case Lite casing | Puncture-protection layer under the tread | Fewer stops for broken glass |
| Visibility | Reflective sidewalls | Reflective strip | Visible from the side at night |
In short: the R9 540 is aimed at riders who alternate commuting with rides lasting several hours. It keeps the 11-46 gear range of the R9 360 and adds 180 Wh of reserve.
On a long ride, the combination of 540 Wh and 9 speeds lets you manage your effort precisely: a suitable gear and a low mode on the flat, a low gear and a higher mode on the climbs of the Minervois. The Active Line Plus motor stays discreet and natural, with no feeling of being towed.
The suspension seatpost and the wide, padded Bontrager Boulevard saddle are made for long hours in the saddle. The bar with 25 mm of rise and the adjustable stem keep you upright, easing your neck and wrists as the hours go by.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (L) |
| District+ 3 R9 360 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 360 Wh | CUES 9-speed derailleur | 26.40 kg |
| District+ 3 R9 540 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | CUES 9-speed derailleur | 24.30 kg |
| District+ 3 N7 540 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | Nexus 7-speed hub, chain | 27.70 kg |
| District+ 4 R10 LS | Bosch Performance Line | 600 Wh | CUES 10-speed derailleur | 26.30 kg |
Our take: this R9 540 keeps the 11-46 gear range of the R9 360 and adds 180 Wh. Trek quotes 24.30 kg in L, the lowest weight in the series; the R10 moves up to the Performance Line motor for 26.30 kg.

LVR sizing advice Thanks to the low step-over, the top tube height hardly matters: go by your height. S for 147 to 155 cm, M for 155 to 173 cm, L for 170 to 185 cm, XL for 185 to 203 cm. If you're on the M / L borderline, try both in the shop: the 110 mm stem on the L stretches the position noticeably.
