Trek went deep for 2017 and launched all new models of their Fuel EX, Remedy, and Slash platforms. At their launch event last year in Squamish we were introduced to and rode the first two, but only got a sneak peek of the Slash as its announcement followed about a month later. Go here for a full run down on spec, geo, pricing, and my early ride impressions of the Fuel EX and Remedy, and you can read Perry's Slash review here.

Light, fast and incredibly capable. Buy if you are looking for an incredibly capable trail bike and are willing to make some tweaks
An efficient climber and incredible descender in one lightweight package
Stock wheels and tires hold back the bike’s potential
Needs a firmer shock tune for aggressive riding

As we see in every round of the EWS, 29ers work for racing. We’ve put the Remedy 29 to the test to find out if it also can convince at our post-work rides.
