  • Join John Riley (Director of MTB Development) and Matt Yerke (Senior MTB Engineer) as they dive into all there is to know about the lastest generation of Slash.
    Slash is here and more ready than ever to crush lap after lap. This long-travel enduro is built for the backcountry, where handling the gnarliest descents is a must, and climbing back to the top matters. Its high-pivot rear suspension not only boosts momentum for ripping through rock gardens on the downs, but also punches up a class on climbs with next-level grip for billy-goating back to the top for more.

    Add 2 more idlers and perhaps the chain will stay on during rowdy descents 😎

      And you still get pedal kick back, when your pedals are at 6 and 12 when pedaling. So it feels like it gets hung up on square edges when climbing. Honestly I think the lower idler wheel does little if nothing for helping performance

    • @trekbikes
      @trekbikes  10 месяцев назад

      While it could fit a dual crown fork, but we'd suggest a 190mm single crown fork (which is also the max travel).
      You'll have a much better turning radius with a single crown and in 190mm, you're very close to a dual crown fork.

    Not a bike for me. mixed wheels, for my riding not needed. This goes with any brand. If not full 29er looking somewhere else. Like your video, of course for racing riders and pro riders mixed wheels ok. For most riders, the mixed wheels have no benefit even thought they typical yo rider says yes. Let’s just be honest.

      @trekbikes  10 месяцев назад +1

      Slash is 29/29" compatible - just need to ditch the rear fender and swap the lower shock mount out for the 29" option and you're ready to roll on a big wheel in the rear.

    From a Gen 5 slash user it's not worth it to upragde to gen 6 slash just like if you already have a garmim fenix 6x pro, fenix 7x isn't a worthy upgrade for real, fenix 8 might be a more better worth it upgrade, 2 generations ahead of update is the one to be look that's why I'll wait for 7th generation slash hopefully trek will be back on their roots innovating new designs and proprietary next level design and no high pivot, let's make things more simple yet advanced.
