Trek E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS Review

At steep sections, the somewhat weak FAZUA motor requires a lot of initiative from the biker. The FAZUA Evation Ride 50 Trail gives off a well-rounded riding feeling. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS , because of its low range.

The suspension travel at the fork qualifies the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS for only touring on paved paths and gentle trails. In this area of use, the Rock Shox chassis works quite well. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS. With their four pistons and 2 disc brakes the SRAM brake brakes good. The components and the gears are less in the spotlight with an EMTB than with bikes without motor. Nevertheless, when we take a look we find out that here, good components are always used. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Due to the short chainstays and the shallow seat angle , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting. With its slim weight, the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS is one of the lightest EMTBs. An e-mountain bike is most fun when it can be ridden on a single track like a bike without a motor. The combination of good weight and pleasant geometry give the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS the same natural and nimble handling as you know from non-motorised mountain bikes. Really only a few manufacturers manage to get this right.
