"Slash ticks all the boxes for long-travel performance with super-aggressive geometry, loads of adjustability and mind-blowing high-pivot suspension that makes you feel like a hero. Don't take our word for it, check out why Pinkbike crowned Slash Bike of the Year."
Read more'The Slash and the new Vivid shock are a true power couple and required almost zero tuning to get me to a happy spot [...] props to Trek on nailing a great tune for most riders [...] Trek Slash ranks very high on my list of bikes ridden in the last two years. If climbing takes a back seat to downhill capabilities – fun, charging hard and going big – you may not want to wait until we’ve logged enough miles for our long-term review to pull the trigger.'
Read more'This is without doubt the most efficient high-pivot idler bike I’ve pedalled. While the travel is plush, there’s good support so you can pop and pump down the trail, with a lively and light ride character, while still remaining stable and composed when the trails get rough. Trek has shown what's possible here and it's impressive'
Read more'Slash 2024 is the next evolutionary stage of high pivot bikes, bringing all the advantages of a high pivot suspension design while at the same time eliminating most of its drawbacks.'
Read more'So there are a lot of little things on this Slash that combine really well to produce extra sparkle on the trail. First off, let me just say the suspension performance is simply sensational. The shock requires very little force to move and it changes direction quickly – it feels as buttery as a coil shock. I’d even say the small bump performance is better than any air shock I’ve ridden. Diving into the deeper end of the travel it feels like there is more than 160 mm available.'

Read moreThe Slash's high main pivot allows the axle to move rearward as the suspension compresses, so the back wheel moves with the force from bumps and gets out of the way faster. On the trail, it feels ultra-smooth while maintaining more momentum with insane traction.
Learn moreThe Slash's oversized upper idler not only eliminates the pedal kickback caused by high pivot, but its size and position also give you just the right amount of anti-squat for efficient pedalling. The lower idler takes chain tension off the derailleur so you get smoother shifting and suspension performance.
This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you'll have a better ride if you choose your own. Explore the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style. Reach for flat pedals for simple versatility or go for clipless MTB pedals if you want control and efficiency.

Learn moreCleverly integrated into the steerer tube, the included BITS multi-tool has everything you need for trail-side adjustments and repairs.
The Slash has plenty of room for long droppers, big coil shocks, meaty tyres and up to 190 mm of front suspension. Plus, there's a place for accessory mounts under the top tube for when your storage door is already full of snacks.
Tubeless Ready rims and tyres make it easy to ditch the tubes so you get better traction, fewer flats and less weight. You're ready to roll straight out of the box with the included TLR rim strips, valves and sealant.
Learn moreBigger is better. The oversized seat tube diameter gives more support and strength for longer travel droppers, and allows for more robust, durable internals that work faster.
Slash is built for the hardest riding in the harshest conditions with a threaded bottom bracket that's more robust than press fit.
