Welcome to our exhilarating first ride review of the all-new Trek Slash Gen 6 mountain bike! This is the 6th generation model and may be the fastest Slash that Trek has ever released. It features an all-new high-pivot suspension system with oversized idler pulleys and a whole lot more.
Join us as we hit the trails of Utah and put this beast through its paces, and uncover what makes it the ultimate trail dominator. From its cutting-edge features to its jaw-dropping performance, we leave no stone unturned in this comprehensive review.

They might wanna Slash the prices in this economy.

Really impressed how well it went uphill. A downhill bike is usually only good at one thing and that's going downhill (some engineering trickery going on here). Trek is really finding a secret sauce with its 6 gen bikes setting them apart from other bikes in their class.

I was gonna get one... until i saw how easily the chain comes off during even small hits. Would rather just run a coil on a fuel ex

Any chain drops in this trek?

Have they eliminated knock block?

@timkat8643 10 ай бұрын

Yes it got bad reviews. Knock block can be installed if you like but it isn’t included in the stock bike.

Is this frame coil compatible?

Talk more about the flex. I guess it must be sideway flex you talk about? How did you come to the conclusion it is flex? more details.

We're not sure yet, but it's something we're diving into as we test more. We'll be covering all of this in our full-scale review in our magazine and on our website.

Is the flex on the rear linked to that high pivot? Because the bike length will grow under compression with that suspension design.

@TeamCykelhold 10 ай бұрын

I don't see why would there be more flex than any other trek bike. I have a hard time thinking the slash is more flexy than fuel ex, and fuel ex is absolutely not a flexy frame.

@cheddy_chedderson_cheddouard 10 ай бұрын

the wheelbase grow under compression on a high pivot and that could be the reason someone who never rode a high pivot fell its flexing.@@TeamCykelhold

@@cheddy_chedderson_cheddouard yeah maybe that's it. I just can't believe someone who review bikes would not know this.

We're not sure quite yet but as we continue testing and putting miles down we're going to be figuring that out. This will all be covered in our future full-scale review both in our magazine and on our website. We may also make another review video that will go into more detail about our ride experience. Thanks for asking.

Cmon,where's the new remedy

That high pivot and other pivot behind is just dealbreaker for me. Looks ugly as hell. I just prefer the old normal pivot. I looked to new slash, but ill stick to my 2022 carbon frame looks like
