Trek’s Newest E-Mountain Bike is Light, Fast, and Sporty

An adventurous pedal-assist bike, the E-Caliber has the heart of a cross-country racer.

The Takeaway: The Trek E-Caliber is a lightweight, XC-oriented electric mountain bike for riders who want a nimble and agile machine that excels on a wide range of trails.

• Trek claims the 34.8-pound E-caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS is the lightest full-suspension eMTB.
• 60mm carbon frame, 120mm fork, and aggressive geometry
• Fazua Evation pedal-assist motor can be removed for unassisted riding

Price: $11,999 Weight: 36 lb. (size Large)

A light and efficient 60mm carbon frame, cross country-oriented geometry, a 120mm fork, and...a Fazua Evation pedal assist motor?

Old Man Winter has been very uncooperative this month, leaving much of my trails buried deep beneath the snow . But as I write this, the sun is shining, snow is melting, and I’m optimistic that it won’t be long before I can hit the trails for some more substantial rides.

Short Travel

The lightweight, single-pivot design allows just 60mm of travel.

Carbon Wheels

Bontrager Kovee XXX hoops are light, stiff, and very durable.

Removable Motor

The battery and drive unit can be taken out of the downtube.

Minimalist Controls

The buttons for the Fazua motor blend nicely into the handlebar.

Lightweight rear suspension offers great pedaling efficiency.

The E-Caliber was borne from Trek’s full-suspension XC racer, the Supercaliber . The Fazua Evation motor neatly integrated in the downtube gives riders three levels of pedal assist. Besides being very light (7.4 pounds on my scale), the battery and drive system are removable and can be replaced with a dummy battery that doubles as a storage compartment, leaving me with a 28-pound (for size Large) bike that should pedal like a non-electric bike.

Class 1 Fazua Evation Motor

The Fazua Evation motor is powered by a 250-Wh battery with a claimed range of 18 to 50 miles. As with all e-bikes, that depends heavily on what mode you use, how much you weigh, and how hilly the terrain is. The more power you demand, the quicker the battery drains.

That motor itself represents a departure for Trek, as we’re more accustomed to seeing bikes from the Wisconsin-based brand with Bosch’s stellar Performance Line CX motor. Ott attributed that move to the new Black Pepper Tune, “which we felt took a good bike and made it a great bike for us,” he said, because it refines power delivery over a broader cadence range. Ott also told me the new tune improved responsiveness, making the pedal assist engage sooner.

The system has three power modes with very Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance names. Breeze is the economy mode and gives riders a constant 100 watts of help. River provides progressive assistance where the motor’s software attempts to match the amount of assist with what you’re putting into the pedals, but only up to 210 watts. The full gas mode is called Rocket, which gives riders an extra 250 watts regardless of how much effort they put into the pedals. But because this is a Class 1 e-bike , additional power cuts out when speed tops 20 miles per hour regardless of mode.

Fazua plans to release an app in April that will give riders complete freedom to customize the power curve in all levels of assist.

The E-Caliber retains the IsoStrut single-pivot suspension design from the Supercaliber, giving the bike just 60mm of rear wheel travel and exceptionally low weight due to the lack of pivots and linkage. But things change on the front end to handle the extra speed and hard riding the motor adds to the equation. Front suspension goes up to 120mm, giving the bike a more adventurous feel like the Cannondale Scalpel SE and Specialized Epic EVO . Head angle is kicked out to 67.5 degrees, the result of bumping travel up by 20mm. That’s still aggressive by trail standards but within the realm of modern XC geometry like we see on the Scalpel, Specialized Epic , and BMC Twostroke 01 . Reach got longer than the Supercaliber’s, in this case by 15mm (440mm for a Large).

Those three changes represent the main geometry differences between the E-Caliber and its analog sibling. As with other bikes that get the longer/lower/slacker treatment, the idea was to add stability at high speed and make the bike handle better on rougher terrain.

Where Does This Bike Fit In?

Mid-travel e-bikes have proven to be great options for a wide range of uses, not the least of which are shuttling enduro runs, ripping flow trails, and making any hard, mountainous trail more accessible to riders who have less than professional-level fitness. However, those bikes can quickly lose their appeal for riders who enjoy taking a more active role in piloting because the heavy frames, big tires, and longer travel have a way of letting you steamroll over obstacles. The E-Caliber is still a 36-pound bike, which, while light for an electric mountain bike, is hefty. I don’t expect it to behave exactly like my XC bike that weighs 30 percent less, but I’ll be looking very carefully to see if it holds onto the spirit of that style of riding. I’m cautiously optimistic that the combination of short travel, light weight, and aggressive geometry will make for a bike that opens up the joys of long trail adventures and ripping fast singletrack to a segment of riders that may not otherwise get to experience that thrill.

E-Caliber Family

The E-Caliber is available in five models priced from $6,499 for the E-Caliber 9.6 all the way to $12,499 for the range-topping, jaw-dropping, 34.8 pound E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS. All models share the same full-carbon, 60mm frame with a 120mm fork. Interestingly, the top-tier 9.9 XTR and 9.9 XX1 AXS builds do not come with dropper posts. That’s disappointing, but it’s a move we often see on new XC bikes, where droppers are omitted for the sake of keeping the weight as low as possible. As ubiquitous as dropper posts are these days, it feels like an artificial way to claim a lower weight. If you’d like a dropper stock on your bike, look to any of the three lower priced options. You can also add a dropper to any of the higher priced models through Trek's Project One options.

The cheapest (still $6,499) E-Caliber, the 9.6, features a drivetrain that’s a mix of Shimano XT and Deore, with a 120mm RockShox Gold fork and Bontrager Kovee Comp wheels. For $7,999 the E-Caliber 9.8 gives you Bontrager Kovee Pro carbon wheels, a 120mm RockShox SID Select+ fork and the choice of either a SRAM GX or Shimano XT drivetrain. The next jump is a steep one: an extra $3,500 nets you the E-Caliber 9.9 XTR with a 120mm Fox Factory 34 SC fork and Bontrager Kovee XXX Carbon wheels. The top spot is reserved for riders willing to plunk down 12,499 bones for a dreamy bike, the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS, resplendent with SRAM’s wireless shifting and a 120mm RockShox Sid Ultimate fork.

All New Trek E-Caliber

A Lighter, More Natural Feeling Electric Mountain Bike

Overview Who It's For Video Features Geometry Models FAQs

What is the Trek E-Caliber?

The Trek E-Caliber is an electrified version of their widely popular Supercaliber XC race bike. It’s one of the lightest electric mountain bikes on the market and aims to create a more natural and nimble experience on big rides where the climbs are just as important as the descents.

You'll love the E-Caliber if

The Trek E-Caliber is for riders who want the ability to ride longer and farther, but don’t need a heavy, long-travel e-bike that’s geared more towards downhill.

It’s for mountain bikers who love the challenge of taking on epic climbs as much as owning fast descents.

And it’s for riders who want the option to be able to turn their electric bike into a non motorized trail shredder in a flash.

E-Caliber Features

The lightest electric mountain bike yet

The E-Caliber is Trek’s lightest electric mountain bike. The top tier AXS model weighs in at only 35 lbs with the battery and drive system in, and under 29lbs without. This bike is made to sprint and climb with the best of them.

Infinite tailwinds with the Fazua drive system

The Fazua drive system is perfect for the lighter characteristics of the E-Caliber. Fazua’s all-new “Black Pepper” mtb tune offers more subtle assistance that seems less like a powerful boost you’d find on other e-bikes and more like riding with a constant tailwind. You’ll still get in a great workout and the bike will feel much more natural.

Removable drive system for unassisted challenges

All Trek’s electric bikes ride perfectly well without the help of the battery and motor, but the E-Caliber goes a step further and allows you to completely replace the Fazua drive unit with a lightweight frame cover so you can drop 6 lbs and ride au naturale. There’s zero resistance from the motor when riding unassisted, and the frame cover doubles as additional storage space for ride essentials.

Best of hardtail efficiency and full suspension control

The 60mm of lightweight IsoStrut rear travel gives the E-Caliber more control, comfort, and traction than a regular hardtail without slowing it down. It’s the perfect amount of travel to keep you rolling quicker through the rough sections while maintaining efficiency on the uphills and sprints.

120mm of XC ready travel

With 10mm of additional travel over the Supercaliber, the E-Caliber’s 120mm fork gives you plenty of downhill control without taking away from the bike’s purpose as a lightning fast XC weapon. You’ll be able to dominate the descents with confidence without sacrificing your speed everywhere else.

User-friendly remote with screen-free handlebar controls

There are no distracting screens on this e-bike, just a compact handlebar-mounted remote that’s sleek and easy to use. Engage the motor with a simple button and toggle through the 3 levels of assist for an intuitive, unintrusive riding experience.

E-Caliber Geometry and Fit

The E-Caliber has a few geometry changes from the Supercaliber that helps it handle better at higher speeds so you can really push your limits.

The head tube angle has been slackened to 69° from the Supercaliber’s 67.5° and the reach has also been lengthened by 10-15mm depending on the size.

E-Caliber FAQs

Why is Fazua’s “Black Pepper” mtb tune better for mountain biking?

Black Pepper gives you assistance at higher cadences, and it also has more differentiation between the three modes. You’ll enjoy a more responsive start, and it gives you the ability to customize the support modes to suit your riding style.

What’s the range on the Fazua drive system?

The battery range depends on factors like how much assist you’re using, terrain, and rider weight, so it can vary anywhere from 20 - 50 miles. 

What are the watt-hour and torque specs of the drive system?

The battery is 250 watt-hours and the motor puts out 55Nm of torque.

What is the max tire clearance?

Can I run 27.5” wheels?

The E-Caliber is only compatible with 29” wheels and tires

What are the biggest brake rotors that will fit?

What are my chainring options?

As a maximum you can run a 32T chainring with a 52mm chainline OR a 36T with 55mm chainline. 30T is the minimum.

Can I add an aftermarket shock?

No, but you can use the supplied spacers to adjust the spring curve

What is the rear hub spacing?

How much dropper post insertion is there?

It depends on the size. S: 205mm / M: 270mm / L: 270mm / XL: 270mm

This top of the line mountain bike brings exciting innovations in power and performance to the market.

It has been designed with specific frame geometries, electronic components and a smart motor system allowing riders to get the most out of every ride.

With its latest version, Trek has taken things up a notch! It features an improved battery system and XC frame geometry to still provide comfort even on technical terrain.

In this review of the Trek E-Caliber 9.6 Gen 2 model, we’ll be taking a deep dive into what makes this electric mountain bike such a great option for those looking for reliability, speed, and control on their rides!

We’ll detail all of the features that make this one of the best e-bikes on the market today.

This is a great electric mountain bike that is perfect for adventurous riders looking for some key features: long-distance range, powerful torque, and a multitude of advanced components like Shimano Deore XT drivetrain & hydraulic disc brakes.

This review provides an in-depth look at the E-Caliber 9.6 Gen 2 so that prospective buyers can make an informed decision when purchasing this innovative eMTB.

Trek’s 2023 E-Caliber 9.6 Gen 2 is a top-tier electric mountain bike with an OCLV Mountain Carbon main frame & stays, advanced Fazua Ride Trail 50 motor, and 1×12 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain.

This bike features cutting edge components and Trek’s upgraded innovative tech to give you an exceptionally lightweight and responsive ride.

Whether you’re taking on steep climbs or descending technical descents, the E-Caliber 9.6 Gen 2 will make any adventure fun and exciting.

– OCLV Mountain Carbon main frame & stays: lightweight construction made for efficient pedalling and precise handling

– Fazua Ride Trail 50 motor: reliable performance with up to 250W power output

– 250Wh Fazua Evation battery: allows long rides while maintaining high energy efficiency

Motor & Battery

The Trek E-Caliber 9.6 Gen 2 is equipped with a mid-motor performance Fazua Ride Trail 50 motor paired with a 250Wh battery.

This gives the rider assistance up to 20 mph when it’s on, and gives zero drag when it’s off over terrain such as sand, gravel, snow, and hills without any difficulty.

Not to mention that this bike offers plenty of power to get you up those steep hills with ease due to its advanced torque technology and no pedal resistance.

Frame & Suspension

The OCLV Mountain Carbon main frame & stays on the E-Caliber 9.6 have been designed specifically for mountain biking – standing out from most eMTBs in terms of being lightweight yet extremely rigid for more confident handling on rocky terrain (total bike weight is around 41lbs).

It also uses an adjustable RockShox 35 Gold RL, DebonAir spring fork which allows you to tweak your tuning options depending on what tracks you’re riding through or how much comfort or control you’re after while all other contact points between rider and bike have been tuned effectively towards this purpose too.

Drivetrain & Brakes

Moving onto the drivetrain; the Trek E-Caliber has opted for a Shimano Deore XT 1×12 speed setup consisting of a 10-51t cassette and 32t front chainring combined with Shimano Deore 12 Speed shifters installed into the Bontrager Rhythm Comp, alloy handlebars which give very precise gear changes.

As for brakes; 180mm Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide extra stopping power both front and rear for an impressive package.

All things considered; there’s really not much else left to say about this eMTB other than that if you’ve made it through reading all about its specs then chances are high that it fits perfectly into your needs/requirements. 

You’ll be getting along with confidence in knowing that top quality engineering went into producing one simply spectacular machine!

Test report: trek’s new e-caliber full suspension emtb impresses on all trails.

May 27, 2021 - The opportunity to test out Trek’s new E-Caliber 9.6 mountain bike was a high point this spring. Touted as their lightest full suspension e-MTB ever, this new electric mountain bike was evidently created with efficiency in mind, featuring the same rear IsoStrut suspension design as Trek’s World Cup proven Supercaliber cross-country race bike.

Featuring an impressive amount of pedal efficiency for the way up, and a surprising amount of capability on the way down, the E-Caliber leans more towards an all-mountain ready rig rather than a racey XC bike like its non-electric twin.

With all six models in the lineup only being available with Trek’s OCLV mountain carbon frame options, the E-Caliber is one of the lighter eMTB options on the market at 40.6 lbs. (size medium) for the 9.6 model we tested (the 9.9 XX1 AXS model is 34lbs.). Rolling on 29x 2.4” Bontrager XR3 Team Issue tubeless ready tires, and featuring a remote lockout to easily switch the suspension on and off, riding on flat or uphill terrain felt nothing short of amazing and is certainly where the bike shines.

When Trek paired the E-Caliber’s superior pedalling efficiency with a lightweight, completely removable, 250-watt, Fazua Evation drivepack, featuring 55Nm of torque, and 250wh battery with 70km range, they delivered one heck of a fun bike.

The E-Caliber is equipped with Fazua’s intelligent Black Pepper software, which allows the motor to respond immediately as you start to pedal, delivers more power over a wider cadence range, and lets you customize the user settings.

With three easily adjustable power modes thanks to the sleek Fazua touchpad remote, and up to 32km/h of pedal-assist power, I found myself eager to tackle climbs, trying new and unique lines, and really pushing it to see what was possible to overcome.

The whole ride experience was way more interesting and engaging with that much confidence, and it was my legs that were first to relish a break, not the battery, which offers 2-4 hours of life.

I was also impressed at how well the bike could also handle technical and fast sections on the way down. When ploughing through chundery, steep, and rocky sections of trail, the bike rarely felt like it was getting bucked or out of control, which essentially sealed the deal on this awesome eMTB.

With a 67.5 degree head angle and 64.8 cm top tube, the bike seems noticeably long and slack for a cross-country bike, and really equated to a sense of stability and confidence on the way down.

With only 60mm of travel on the Trek IsoStrut Fox Performance rear shock and 120mm in the RockShox 35 Gold RL front fork, the lack of suspension bottom out was also impressive. Considering the minimal amount of suspension that the bike is built with, is something of note, for those looking for a bike that they can get a bit rowdy with while tackling some descents.

While the E-Caliber is certainly a cross-country bike, it’s spec’d with Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes and a TransX dropper post with 100mm of travel, meaning it’s not only designed to go up.

Featuring a 34-tooth front chainring and 1×12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, I rarely felt undergunned for the climbs or spinning out on the descents, which further drives home the feeling that the E-Caliber is a well-balanced eMTB ready for just about anything and everything.

Not solely for those looking for a fast and efficient option to get them up the trail, the E-Caliber’s descending capabilities far exceeded my initial expectations after throwing a leg over it. Its lightweight design made for an intensely fun and snappy ride on both climbs and descents.

A cross-country bike at heart, don’t be fooled by the E-Caliber’s minimal suspension and sleek design. This nimble, lightweight and capable eMTB is ready to take on big days and fun descents alike, with a ride quality that’s sure to impress and well worth a good look.

The SRP for the Trek E-Caliber 9.6 is $8,699.99 and for more information pls visit here .

E-Caliber wins Outside Magazine’s 2021 Best eMTB award

As expected, the E-Caliber made us feel like the World Cup racers we wish we were, but the real benefit was that we were more willing to ride, rather than drive, to our favorite trails. Logging more miles in the same amount of time is a win in our book.” – Outside Editors

E-Caliber is a winner in Bicycling Magazine's 2021 E-Bike Awards!

Trek's E-Caliber makes for a unique riding experience that should appeal to folks looking to get in more trail miles instead of shuttle runs" - Bicycling Magazine Editors

Trek’s lightest full suspension e-MTB ever

Weight 34 lbs / 15.5 kg (*E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS model)

Assist Up to 32 km/h

Torque 55 Nm

Range 3-5 hours

The perfect XC assist E-Caliber is built with an ultra-smooth internal Fazua Evation drive system that weighs just 4.6kg and delivers up to 70km of continuous assist. When you ride faster than the max assist speed, you won't feel any drag or resistance—just the smooth speed of an ultra-fast XC race bike.

Smart software for the trail The software in your e-bike system has an enormous impact on your trail experience. It’s what determines your power delivery—and this is especially important for e-MTBs. E-Caliber’s main software control center is the FAZUA App. Use it to change or customize your support mode settings, download new ride profiles and more, whenever you want!

Fast rides, right at your fingertips

Fazua’s all-new bX remote is a touch-sensitive, low-profile system designed for quick and intuitive changes between the three modes. In rainy weather, you can disable the touch control and opt for the remote’s mechanical button.

Three assist modes. Infinite possibility.

Breeze mode.

The lightest assist mode gives you a constant 100 watts and the greatest range. It’s a gentle, efficient mode that lets you ride up to 70km with a boost.

The middle assist gives a maximum output of 210 watts, which is sufficient for most riding situations. You’ll feel the assist, but it won’t overwhelm your ride.

Rocket mode

The most aggressive setting helps you tackle the steepest sections at a maximum output of 250 watts.

Every E-Caliber is equipped with Trek’s exclusive IsoStrut shock—a structural suspension design that pairs 60mm of damped, tunable travel with unique pivotless seatstays that move with the trail to keep you smooth and fast.

e-XC geometry

E-Caliber is built with a geometry that's right for an electric XC bike. It's slightly slacker than Supercaliber, with a longer travel 120mm fork and a longer reach for extra stability at sustained high speeds.

One bike, two ways to love it

Turn your E-Caliber into an awesome analog XC bike by removing the Fazua motor and replacing the battery with the included hollow down tube insert. You'll save up to 6 lbs. and create a drag-free ride that feels just like a Supercaliber.

The E-Caliber Family

E-Caliber Gen 1

E-Caliber Gen 1 is the original lightweight electric mountain bike. It’s built with the perfect amount of suspension for fast XC miles, and a Fazua Evation motor that gives you the extra push for covering steep climbs and longer rides.

E-Caliber Gen 2

More power, less weight. E-Caliber Gen 2 gives you the same balanced suspension as Gen 1, but with a Fazua Ride 50 Trail motor that offers 10% more power while saving 6% on weight.
