For the mountain biker who wants a carbon Rail+ with no electronics to manage, and a simple, tough spec. It will suit anyone who mainly rides trail and all-mountain and wants an agile bike rather than a tank.
An OCLV Mountain carbon front triangle for a more agile Rail+. This Rail+ 9.7 gets the 5th-generation carbon main frame, with the 800 Wh Bosch battery housed in the down tube and removable from below. OCLV Mountain fibre brings high stiffness for a moderate weight: 23.88 kg in M, more than a kilo under the aluminium Rail+ 8. The adjustable geometry (head angle, Mino Link, leverage) is set in the workshop.
| Carbon Rail+ (9.7 / 9.8) | Aluminium Rail+ (5 / 8) | Carbon Slash+ (TQ) | |

| Weight (M) | 23.73 to 24.18 kg | 24.78 to 25.08 kg | 21.58 to 21.83 kg |
| What it means | Lighter chassis, same motor | Gentler budget, robust frame | Gentler assist, livelier bike |
Put simply: this 9.7 pairs the RockShox Lyrik fork, slimmer than a ZEB, with the SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type drivetrain mounted directly on the UDH hanger: the most trail-oriented carbon Rail+ in the range.
The Lyrik Delta RC is a fork for aggressive trail riding, slimmer than a ZEB: the front end feels lighter in the tight turns of the garrigue trails. Its DebonAir+ spring stays supple at the start of the stroke, which filters out small stones nicely. We adjust the pressure and rebound to your kitted-up weight.
The Eagle 70 T-Type drivetrain mounts directly on the UDH hanger; its 10-52 cassette offers a very low gear for technical climbs. The Bosch CX motor assists up to 25 km/h, as European regulations require for 250 W rated, and its updates are done in the eBike Flow app or in the workshop.
| Model | Motor / battery | Rear / front travel | Drivetrain | Weight (M) |
| Rail+ 8 | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 160 / 160 mm | Shimano XT / Deore 12-speed | 25.08 kg |
| Rail+ 9.7 XT | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 160 / 160 mm | Shimano XT / SLX 12-speed | 23.73 kg |
| Rail+ 9.7 Eagle 70 | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 160 / 160 mm | SRAM Eagle 70 12-speed | 23.88 kg |
| Rail+ 9.8 XT Di2 | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 160 / 160 mm | Wireless Shimano XT Di2 | 23.98 kg |
Our take: at 23.88 kg in M, this Rail+ 9.7 Eagle 70 sits between the Rail+ 9.7 XT (23.73 kg, ZEB fork) and the Rail+ 9.8 XT Di2 (23.98 kg, Fox Factory). The aluminium Rail+ 8 weighs 1.2 kg more.

LVR sizing advice Size S rolls on 27.5 inch wheels at both ends with a 150 mm dropper; M moves up to 170 mm, L and XL to 200 mm. If you are between sizes, the shorter one favours tight hairpins, the longer one composure in rock gardens.

| Lyrik or ZEB, which should I choose? | The Lyrik is lighter and livelier, the ZEB stiffer for hard-hitting enduro. |
| Is the T-Type drivetrain strong? | Yes, mounting it directly on the UDH hanger does away with a fragile derailleur hanger. |
| Are the brakes powerful? | Shimano MT620 brakes and 203 mm rotors; a regular bleed keeps them effective. |
| Is the marbling discreet? | Yes, it stays subtle on the Dark Star black and reveals itself up close. |
|
The LVR Cycles verdict A balanced, easy-going carbon Rail+, with a lively Lyrik fork and a tough mechanical drivetrain. The black marbled with light grey gives it a discreet elegance.

Why buy from LVR Cycles? As a Trek retailer in Béziers, we set up the Lyrik and shock on your Rail+ for your weight, update the Bosch motor and bleed the brakes before each season.
