TREK ALLANT+ ALL THE MODELS (7, 8, 9), ALL THE *Original* SPECS and my 9-15-19 RIde/Review

[GregGritton]

That is amazing in itself as no other top commuter ebike is anywhere closer to 44-45lbs, option for xtra batttery.

I don't know if it counts as a "top commuter bike" but it is interesting that the Trek Verve+ is just under 45lbs (20.2kg) and is only $2500. That includes rack and fenders. See https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/...es/verve/verve-2-mens/p/28299/?colorCode=grey.

I chatted with Trek's customer service yesterday and their rep. mentioned that their top of the line carbon model does not support any type of front suspension fork. The aluminum models do however. Additionally, none of the models support the redshift suspension stem. This would make the 9.9S one stiff ride on the front end in my opinion. On a side note, for Canadians they don't get the option for the S-pedelec versions unlike Stromer their S-pedelecs are sold in Canada where the law doesn't prevent the sale of S-pedelecs.

Interesting and good info you are passing along. Seems like the more info that comes out the less attractive the bike becomes. I'll have to get back with my dealer because that contradicts what they told me. In fact, the way my dealer phrased it was that, with the Allant+, Trek was addressing one of the main complaints of the Super Commuter which was its inability to take a suspension fork. Per my dealer, all models are suspension capable. I will report back after asking them about this.

My dealer confirmed this. No suspension fork possibilities on the carbon versions.

Interesting review from Electrek...

Trek rolls out new 28 mph e-bikes with Bosch's updated motors and batteries

As a heavyweight contender in the bicycle industry, Trek rarely seems to rest on its laurels when it comes to...

electrek.co

And to cover a number of different types of riding, Trek doesn’t just have one or two models in the Allant+ line, it has a whole slew of them:

• Allant+ 7
• Allant+ 7 Lowstep
• Allant+ 7S
• Allant+ 7S Stagger
• Allant+ 8
• Allant+ 8 Stagger
• Allant+ 8S
• Allant+ 8S Stagger
• Allant+ 9.9S — OCLV Carbon
• Allant+ 9.9S Stagger — OCLV Carbon

Don’t expect Trek’s new e-bikes to come cheap though.

The model line starts at $3,599 for the Allant+ 7 and increases up to $5,999 for the Flagship Allant+ 9.9S. Nice bikes? Yes, absolutely.

Expensive bikes? Also yes. For $6,000, I’m a bit amazed that I’m not looking at a Gates Carbon Belt Drive or at least an internally geared hub here. And yes, I get it that the higher end of the Allant+ line uses Trek’s high quality, patented carbon frames. But is that really necessary? At over 50 lb (23 kg), this has got to be one of the heaviest carbon bikes I’ve ever seen, even if its a bit light for a high-speed e-bike.

Stumbled on this and thought it a cool looking variant of the Allant 9.9s. I guess Trek owns Diamant in Germany. The Diamant Zouma Supreme speed pedelec. The pic shows the bike with Schwalbe tires but the specs at the site list the Bontrager tires. Lighting listed as Supernova and seat as Brooks Cambium. Otherwise, specs look about the same inclusive of the carbon OCLV frame. I kinda like the solid black more than the black/red combo. But surprisingly, price is a grand higher vs the USA price.

Has anyone seen any of the Allant + bikes at a dealer in the US yet? I preordered an Allant +7S from a brand new Trek store in NJ last month but haven't heard anything yet. It was kind of odd since they just opened but had almost no ebikes and didn't even seem to have an allocation. They said that the existing stores ordered all of the early production run. I have noticed that Cannondale announced the the Tesoro Neo X1an ebike that uses the same new Bosch 28 mph Performance speed motor and that is promised for the end of December. It is priced a little more than the *8s but has an air fork suspension. I will probably look at both and decide which I like better.

I've only seen the 9.9s in two shops (and I have mine). But I haven't been back to my shop in a week or so and don't know if perhaps any 7s or 8s have arrived.

I would be curious to see even the 9.9s in a store. I seem to remember did you get yours from Stirling,NJ? That is where we bought my wife's Verve +2. I preordered a +7S in Summit,NJ but would buy a +8s if it takes too long to get the +7s. I'll try stopping in at both next week.

No, got mine in Michigan.

 

[JeffG]

Thanks. I guess I'll check with the local Trek stores and see if they have anything yet.

Stirling has a 9.9 step thru. Summit has a medium 9.9. Both are sold and both are held up due to battery locking issues with an "L" bracket issue. Mine is on the UPS truck, delayed from a Thursday delivery, sitting in Bound Brook for delivery Monday. I'll hope they figure out the "L" bracket battery lock issue by then, looking forward to the new bike (9.9 'L'). Something to do with a security torx screw that is specialized as well as difficult to access.
