For the mountain biker who rides in areas full of thorns and sharp stones and wants to be done with punctures. It will suit anyone who often rides alone and prefers a bike that won't leave them stranded halfway along a trail.
Alpha Platinum aluminium, shared frame, rethought build. This Powerfly+ 6 keeps the 5th-generation Alpha Platinum aluminium frame, with its RIB 2.0 system that holds the battery in place even when you unlock it. The changes concern the wheels, dropper post, stem and chainset.
| Alpha Platinum (Powerfly+) | Alpha Gold (Marlin+) | OCLV Mountain carbon (Rail+ 9.7 / 9.8) | |
| Level | Top-level Trek alloy | Alloy of the lightweight e-MTB | Trek off-road carbon |
| Construction | Battery secured by RIB 2.0 | Compact 400 Wh battery | OCLV Mountain |
| Reference bike | Powerfly+ 6, 24.10 kg (M) | Marlin+ 8, 21.89 kg (M) | Rail+ 9.7 / 9.8 |
| What it means | Secure battery, durable frame | Lighter, less energy | Lighter, full suspension |
Put simply: at 24.10 kg in M, this Powerfly+ 6 keeps the big battery and RockShox fork of the Line Dropper version, but adopts 23 mm Kovee rims, Gunnison Elite tyres and a TranzX dropper whose travel increases with the size.
Going tubeless gets rid of the inner tube: the sealant plugs, as you ride, the small holes from acacia thorns and brambles, which are common around Béziers. You can also lower the pressure to gain grip without risking pinch flats, which makes the hardtail more comfortable.
The four-piston Shimano brakes, with MT4100 levers and MT420 calipers, offer reassuring power on a bike of more than 24 kg, with 203 mm rotors at both wheels. The electric assist, compliant with European rules, stops at 25 km/h, for 250 W rated.
| Model | Motor / battery | Suspension (M) | Drivetrain | Weight (M) |
| Powerfly+ 4 800 Wh (XCM fork) | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 120 mm fork | Shimano CUES 10-speed | 24.90 kg |
| Powerfly+ 6 (TranzX post, Kovee rims) | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 120 mm fork (100 in S) | Shimano 12-speed | 24.10 kg |
| Powerfly+ 6 (Line Dropper post) | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 120 mm fork (100 in S) | Shimano XT / Deore 12-speed | 24.40 kg |
| Powerfly+ 8 (SRAM Eagle 70) | Bosch CX / PowerTube | Fox 120 mm (100 in S) | SRAM Eagle 70 12-speed | 23.08 kg |
Our take: the same bike as the blue Powerfly+ 6, this beige and white colourway stands out for its brightness. Compared with the Powerfly+ 4 800 Wh (24.90 kg), it gains a dropper post and 12 speeds; the Powerfly+ 8 Eagle 70 moves up to a Fox fork.

LVR sizing advice The TranzX post changes travel with each size: 100 mm in S, 150 mm in M, 170 mm in L and XL. If you are between sizes, the larger one gives more saddle drop and stability, the smaller one makes it easier to put a foot down.

| Does it come set up tubeless? | The rims and tyres are compatible; we carry out the conversion in the workshop. |
| What maintenance does tubeless need? | A check of the sealant every few months. |
| Are the brakes up to the job? | Yes, 4 pistons and 203 mm rotors, suited to the weight of an e-MTB. |
| Does the white get dirty? | It needs rinsing more often, but stays very bright. |
|
The LVR Cycles verdict A tubeless-ready Powerfly+ 6, ideal for forgetting about punctures on thorny trails. Its sandy beige and bright white make it distinctive and elegant.
