It's right for you if...
You're a big-mountain rider with your eyes on the Enduro World Series, so you're looking for every performance advantage you can get in a frameset. You ride sketchy descents at scary speed, and you want a bike that can keep up with your all-mountain aspirations.
The tech you get
A trail-tough OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, 150mm of travel with a RockShox Deluxe RT3 shock with plush DebonAir spring and Trek's exclusive RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft damper, a 35mm Bontrager Line stem, and an integrated Knock Block headset that stops spinning bars and the fork crown from hitting your frame. Built for 29er wheels and a 150mm or 160mm fork.
The final word
This is the same frameset raced by the pros of Trek Factory Racing Enduro. It's tough, fast, responsive, and fully capable of taking on the wildest enduro courses in the world.
The Walkthrough
favorite_borderWhy you'll love it
- RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better and keeps you in control
- It's equally at home between the tape and in the rugged wild—Yes, Slash is a race bike, but it's ridiculously fun on gnarly trail rides, too
- Mino Link lets you adjust the geometry, so you get both an enduro race bike and an ultra-capable trail bike in one
- Control Freak Cable Management allows you to run any combination of cables exactly the way you want, while still giving you sleek looks and protecting your cables against unnecessary wear
"This bike rips"
"This bike ripped–like charged-over-everything-as-fast-as-you-want-without-picking-a-line kind of ripped. Yes, it's a lot of bike, but it's hard to find flaws in a bike that can do so much, so well. "

"The new standard"
"Slash is great everywhere and descends with almost the same confidence as a downhill rig. It's nearly perfect and might just be the new standard by which all others are measured. "

"An unflinching machine"
"Slash's blistering speed and downhill wizardry propelled it to the front of the pack. Slash epitomizes just how capable long-travel 29ers have become."

"Jaw dropping. A truly stunning all-rounder."
"Phenomenally stiff, impeccably controlled, hyper-fast enduro racer that'll Slash your previous times."

Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most.
Trek's Straight Shot frame design optimizes the stiffness-to-weight ratio for a more responsive ride. You'll be able to push harder and stay more planted on your line when the going gets rough.
RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft gives you unmatched grip and control with a shock that reacts to the terrain faster than anything else out there.

Control Freak Cable Management
The lightest, quietest, most versatile cable management system allows any combination of shift, brake, lockout, and dropper post lines to be routed through the frame for clean looks and the ultimate custom setup.
Boost148/110
Wider dropouts (110mm front, 148mm rear) give you the stiffness of a 27.5" wheel with all the benefits of a 29" wheel, and Boost148 in the rear lets you run wider tires and a larger chainring without affecting q-factor and pedaling efficiency.

Sizing & fit
The charts below show our recommended sizes based on height, but there are some other factors, like arm and leg length, that determine a great fit. That’s why you’ll see some overlap in our recommendations. Not every rider who’s 5´8˝, for example, will fit on the same size bike. The best way to find your perfect fit is to consult the experts at your local Trek retailer.
