The Engineering

A Mid-Drive That Actually Hits Dirt

Brose Mid-Drive

Brose Mid-Drive

TF Sprinter · 90 Nm · torque

Low, Central Power

A Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive keeps the weight low and centred — exactly what you want when the trail points up or gets loose.

Torque-Sensed Traction

A Brose torque sensor feeds power in proportion to your pedal stroke, which keeps the rear tyre hooked up on climbs.

Removable Battery

A removable, lockable 36V 504Wh Phylion/Samsung pack drives it to 28mph over 30–50 miles.

Real MTB Kit

Real MTB Kit

RockShox · Shimano Deore

RockShox Judy Fork

A 120mm RockShox Judy Silver TK air fork — a name-brand trail fork, not a budget coil unit.

Shimano Deore 10-Speed

A Shimano Deore 10-speed with an 11–36T range gives proper climbing gears.

Quad-Piston Brakes

Tektro Orion HD-M745 four-piston hydraulic discs give the stopping power a fast eMTB needs.

Grip & Roll

Maxxis Minion · 29er

Maxxis Minions

Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR 29×2.6in tyres — the benchmark trail tread — tubeless-ready for lower pressures and more grip.

Big 29in Wheels

29in wheels roll over roots and rocks and carry speed on rough ground.

Light For An eMTB

At 57–58 lbs it's genuinely manageable on singletrack.

The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

The TrailRush is the one Ride1Up that's built to leave the pavement and mean it. A Brose mid-drive with 90Nm, a 120mm RockShox Judy air fork, a Shimano Deore 10-speed and Maxxis Minion 29ers is a legitimate trail hardtail spec — the kind of parts list you'd expect on a bike costing considerably more than $1,995. The torque-sensed mid-drive keeps traction on climbs, the quad-piston brakes handle the descents, and at 57–58 lbs it's light enough to actually enjoy on singletrack. The 504Wh battery is the limiter for big backcountry days, but for a first proper eMTB at this price it's hard to argue with. Full ride review to come.

👍 What stands out

  • Real trail kit — RockShox fork, Deore, Maxxis Minions
  • Torque-sensed Brose mid-drive with 90Nm
  • Quad-piston hydraulic brakes
  • Light for an eMTB at 57–58 lbs
  • Strong value for a mid-drive hardtail

👎 What to know

  • Not yet reviewed on camera — score to come
  • 504Wh battery limits big backcountry range
  • Hardtail only — no rear suspension
  • Only Medium and Large frames
