Trek Inbound+: 45 Nm on Trek’s Page, 85 Nm in a Review

The Trek Inbound+ is a European city e-bike with a Bosch Hub Line motor, and it is not a US cart. Trek’s Ireland landing page prints 45 newton-metres “applied directly to the rear wheel,” a MIK HD rack suitable for weights up to 27 kg, lowstep and stepover frames, and a choice of a Gates belt or a chain with a derailleur. That page does not print watts, watt-hours, a price, a weight, or a speed. Electric Bike Report, 20 September 2026, prints 250 watts and 45 Nm, a removable pack in 360 or 600 watt-hours, a weight of 45 to 50 pounds, prices from £1,900 to £2,350, an 8-speed or 10-speed Shimano Essa or Cues, or a single-speed belt with an internally geared hub, and this sentence: the Inbound+ has not been announced for the US market. Notebookcheck, 12 September 2026, prints the same 250 watts and the same two packs, then prints up to 85 Nm. Forty-five and 85 are not a blend.

Forty-five is the page with Trek’s name on it

The Ireland sentence is the one to shop until Trek prints another. Notebookcheck’s 85 Nm is a real printed number, and it fights the official page. Trek’s own Rail FAQ, on a different bike, still says 85 Nm for a Bosch Performance Line CX. That is not proof the Inbound+ writer copied the Rail. It is a reason not to treat 85 as the Hub Line until Trek’s Inbound+ page says 85. Do not publish 65. The motor page is why a hub torque is already at the wheel. Forty-five newton-metres there is not forty-five through a mid-drive and a cassette.

The rack is the line that agrees. Trek Ireland says 27 kg. Electric Bike Report says 60 pounds. Twenty-seven times 2.2 is 59.4, so 60 pounds is the same claim in another unit, not a second rating. The packs do not get that courtesy. Three hundred sixty watt-hours and 600 watt-hours are both on the review pages and absent from the landing page this desk opened. Notebookcheck’s range claims are 50 km, which that story also prints as 31 miles, on the small pack, and 85 km, printed as 53 miles, on the large one. Three hundred sixty divided by 31 is about 11.6 watt-hours a mile. Six hundred divided by 53 is about 11.3. Those are brochure rates. They are not a camera loop, and they are not on Trek’s Ireland page.

The Domane+ SL is the other Trek in the same Electric Bike Report note, and that one is sold in the US. Do not buy it by this name.

What this page is waiting on

A US product page, or a sentence from Trek that the Ireland 45 Nm was wrong. Until then the US rider is reading a Europe bike. The Domane+ SL, in that 20 September Electric Bike Report piece, is a different machine: available in the US, a TQ HPR40 at 200 watts and 40 Nm, from 24.5 pounds, 35 mm tires with room for 40 mm, a 360 watt-hour pack and an optional 580 through Project One, range claims up to 70 and 115 miles, prices from $6,500 to $12,000, and a 28 mph top. That is not an Inbound+ with a hub. The Shockwave and the ePelmo are the other two waiting pages from this desk. This one changes when Trek prints a US price, or when the Ireland page grows a watt-hour.
