Trek Slash 7 - first ride review

Unvarnished all-mountain warrior

Russell Burton

Guy Kesteven

Trek’s cheapest trail/enduro bike proves that if you get the basics right, you don’t need a ton of bling to build an enjoyable and impressively capable ride.

Frame and equipment: tried and trusted no-frills setup

The Slash follows Trek’s proven suspension template. The rear pivots rotate on the same axis as the 142x12mm axle and the shock is squeezed between a rocker linkage and extended chainstay tips. There are ISCG mounts, a down tube guard and a linkage chip that lets you drop the BB by 8mm and slacken the angles by 0.6 degrees.

It’s significant that the Slash uses a standard single-chamber shock – a RockShox Monarch Plus with the new DebonAir sleeve – rather than the proprietary twin-chamber Trek/Fox DRCV dampers of the 140mm Remedy and 120mm Fuel EX . It also uses a different shaped Evo Link rocker.

The RockShox shock is matched with the excellent Pike RC fork to give 160mm (6.3in) of travel at both ends. The mixed SRAM X9/X7 2x10 transmission is OK for the money, Bontrager’s tubeless-ready wheels and tyres strike a reasonable balance between speed and control, the cockpit is well shaped and Shimano’s Deore brakes always impress. The complete bike is fractionally lighter than the same priced, but shorter travel, Remedy 7.

Ride and handling: compromises don't limit trail beasting capabilities

Unlike the Remedy, the Slash rides lighter than it looks. There is some pedal bob under power because the shock lacks the three-position compression damping of the pricier Monarch Plus RC3, but it doesn’t mess with traction or pedalling rhythm even when out of the saddle. The XR4 Expert treads are more slippery in the wet than the pricier XR4 Teams, but tyre drift is just an excuse for the Slash to showcase the slide-sustaining balance and poise of its 65-degree head angle and long wheelbase.

Super-supple traction and excellent midstroke control from both dampers also amplifies control, whatever the terrain. Because the suspension is so sorted, with the Monarch Plus R proving way smoother and more predictable than the basic DRCV shocks on other Treks we’ve ridden, the lack of fancy adjustments is refreshing.

The Slash is gagging for a dropper post (there’s internal routing for one) and has a short top tube and long stem by the latest DH-derived standards, but out on the trail the dimensions and dampers add up to a fantastic ride.

Trek Slash 7

You want a bike that's born to plow through the roughest stuff at full tilt, is fully capable of racing enduro, and doesn't ring up at a bank-breaking price. An aluminum frame built for harsh riding with a threaded bottom bracket, dual downtube guards, Knock Block 2.0, and 160mm of travel with a RockShox Deluxe Select+ shock and 170mm Yari RC fork. Plus, a Shimano Deore/XT drivetrain, 4-piston brakes for confident descents, and Line Comp 30 wheels that are already completely tubeless ready, including sealant. It may be the most affordable Slash in the lineup, but don't underestimate how fast it'll carry you down the mountain. You get a frame built for day after day of hard riding with a no-nonsense parts package that leaves enough cash in your pocket for enduro entry fees or a lift ticket to party laps. Slash 7 is a high-value all-mountain ripper that's built for shredding singletrack at full speed. It's got a stout aluminum frame and capable suspension package that can smash through gnarly, choppy descents like nobody's business. - It's equally at home between the tape and in the rugged wild-Slash excels at racing enduro, but it's ridiculously fun on gnarly trail rides, too - A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear - We added a second down tube guard to better protect your frame from shuttle-related damage - New, removable Knock Block has a bigger steering angle to keep cables and hoses safe without sacrificing turning radius - Wider seat tube, wider dropper-the 34.9mm diameter post is stronger, more durable, and moves up and down faster

The Slash set the new benchmark for long-travel 29ers not long ago, and 2018's version attempts to meet the same standard. This one is stiff, light, and an excellent option for long adventures.

And especially available from the big manufacturers, it simply says that riders are pushing the boundaries of mountain biking and the technologies involved have made them a reality.

Trek Slash 29er carbon long term review on one of the best 29er on the mountain bike market. The 9.9 RSL edition is the top of the line Slash.

Apr 2017 · Alan Muldoon

The new Trek Slash 29 sounds rock and roll and looks stunning, but does it go like a bat out of hell? When it’s time to go fast it gets the job done.

Great sizing and geometry.

Class-leading Fox suspension.

Takes Plus-size wheels.

Looks drop-dead gorgeous.

Could easily accommodate a 150mm dropper.

Stem lengths need to be shorter.

Bontrager SE4 tyres are fast rolling with good puncture resistance, but the level of grip doesn’t match the aggressive attitude of the Slash.

Winner – Mountain Bike category

'The combination of high-end performance with individuality and user-friendliness in the thought-through package delighted the entire jury.'

‘Feels exactly right’

‘The Slash has a big-bike feel that makes it easier to charge into an unfamiliar trail, while retaining enough manoeuvrability to prevent it from feeling like overkill on mellower trails.’

Enduro Bike of the Year

Once the dust had settled, it was the Slash that managed to edge its way into the lead. Its ability to tackle the wildest terrain without flinching yet all the while retaining that reactive, lively feel really won us over.

‘A hell of a bike’

‘Slash is great on rough, bermed corners and it has been an absolute monster riding steeps. This is an easy bike to ride and everything felt very natural from the first drop in and I haven’t looked back since.’
