Slash
Algupära
Slash on Trek'i enduro võistlusrelv, mis sündis 2011. aastal 160mm 26-tollise Remedy edasiarendusena ja on iga põlvkonnaga järk-järgult gravitatsiooni territooriumile tunginud. 6. põlvkond (tutvustati 2024. aastaks) oli kõige radikaalsem ümberkujundus: Trek loobus klassikalisest ABP paigutusest ja võttis kasutusele tühikäigurattaga kõrge pöördepunktiga vedrustuse, millel on 170 mm tagumine käik, 170 mm kahvel ja 63,3° peanurk, mis loodi koostöös Trek Factory Racing Enduro meeskonnaga. Kõrge pöördepunkt tekitab löögi korral tagumise telje liikumise, võimaldades rattal ruudukujulistest takistustest eemale liikuda – see on paigutus, mida Commencal ja Forbidden on kasutanud ning mida Trek kohandas oma patenteeritud ABP ja progressioonikõveraga. Raamid on valmistatud nii alumiiniumist kui ka OCLV süsinikust. Slash'i võrreldakse Specialized Enduro, Yeti SB160, Norco Range ja Privateer 161-ga ning see on mitmel hooajal jõudnud EWS/EDR poodiumile.

Verdikt
- Exceptional descending capability — multiple reviewers compare it to a DH bike
- High-pivot suspension delivers outstanding bump absorption and composure at speed
- Better pedaling than expected for a high-pivot enduro bike
- Frame adjustability — angle-adjust headset, leverage rate adjust, internal storage
- Stiff chassis without harshness
- Idler pulley and chain guide system adds mechanical complexity, noise, and potential reliability concerns
- MBR experienced bent idler — significant reliability concern
- Extra chain noise from dual-pulley system
- Heavy — 16.5-16.7 kg for complete bikes
- Bontrager house-brand wheels and tires not favored by reviewers
