For the mountain biker who wants a tough e-MTB that is easy to set up and live with, with a big battery for long rides. It will appeal to anyone who prefers a clean bar-mounted controller to a large display.
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.
The Recon Silver RL is adjusted via a single valve: air pressure tailors the fork to your weight, and the lockout firms it up on smooth sections. Motion Control damping controls the rebound to avoid a pogo effect over successive bumps. Regular seal servicing keeps it supple season after season.
The Bosch Purion 200 controller groups the buttons and essential display close to the grip, with no large screen to protect in a crash. For ride details, the eBike Flow app takes over on your phone. As European regulations require, the assist stops at 25 km/h, with a 250 W rated motor.
| 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 three colourways of this Powerfly+ 6 are technically identical. Compared with the Powerfly+ 4 800 Wh with an XCM fork (24.90 kg), it saves 800 g and gains a dropper post and 12 speeds; the Powerfly+ 8 Eagle 70 adds a Fox.

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.
