For This Bike
Dec 2020 · Mike Wirth
The new Trek Slash 9.9 X01 sees many updates making it an even more capable all-mountain, enduro mountain bike. See how it performed.

Light and stiff frame – encourages you to go fast
Great shock tune
In-frame storage
Wide range of available frame size options
Seat tube angle could still be a bit steeper
Shorter cranks and an even longer dropper post would have been nice to see

After making an unofficial appearance last weekend at the Enduro World Series event in Zermatt, Switzerland, the latest incarnation of the Trek Slash was officially unveiled Wednesday. On paper, the new 29er rock smasher looks to be more capable than its predecessor, boasting a bump in rear suspension travel from 150 mm rear/160 mm front to 160 mm/170 mm.

Excellent rear suspension
Tires and brakes at the limit
Knock Block is more of a bug than a feature
Chainstay protector is too short

Like it or not punks, big wheeling is what’s hot right now! We have been lucky enough to have our hands on a number of new pushys, including a brand-new 2018 Trek Slash 9.7 for review. With a huge season within the world of downhill and Enduro both domestically and internationally, you cannot deny 29’ inch wheels are making their mark on disciplines of MTB that years ago we would’ve thought may have stayed committed to the traditional 26’ inch […]

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.
