However, since Trek bikes are sold through local bike shops, these components and the small rear brake rotor can be swapped out on site. You should also budget to replace the puncture-prone Bontrager tires. However, we found the 35 mm stem to be too short and the 820 mm handlebar to be far too wide. There’s nothing wrong with the RockShox ZEB Select+ either and the in-house Bontrager Line dropper post provides 170 mm of travel. This includes Shimano’s XT 12-speed drivetrain and reliable SLX brakes, whose performance is in no way inferior to the more expensive counterpart. This reasonably priced package gives you excellent components on a frame bursting with smart features. In times when bikes are becoming more and more expensive, it’s nice to see the € 5,848 Slash 9.8 XT bucking this trend. The components of the Trek Slash 9.8 XT – A great overall package with minor weaknesses Trek have also improved on many other details, giving the bike an extra-large downtube protector, a threaded BSA bottom bracket and integrating the Mino-Link flip chip more cleanly into the seat stay. The new Slash offers 170 mm travel up front in combination with 160 mm at the rear and, as you’d expect, rolls on 29″ wheels. Or the proprietary RockShox thru-shaft shock which allows the damping piston rod to pass through the shock, which is claimed to make the rear end respond more sensitively and deliver more traction. The bike is full of smart details and special solutions, be it the storage compartment in the frame, which is also available on the aluminium models, or the Knock Block in the head tube, which stops the handlebars from damaging the beautiful frame. ![]() We could go on forever about the brand new Trek Slash.
