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.

The Slash received multiple updates for 2021, but it's still an enduro race machine at heart.
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

First ride review of 2021 Trek Slash 9.9. Trek’s 29in enduro trail blazer returns with more travel and a progressive makeover.
Fast and easy to ride. Revised geometry and sizing bring it bang up-to-date. Suspension set-up is straightforward and the drain port in the bottom of the down tube should stop the water pooling below the shock.
All of the cables need shortening to stop them rattling. Trek’s MinoLink is a non-feature as we never clipped a pedal even in the low setting.

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.

Trek is ready to unleash the new Slash, which gets more travel, a more practical frame design and a very special rear shock. We've been testing the 2021 Trek Slash 9.9 for the past month, and it turns out this ain't no one-trick pony. Read on for everything you need to know about the new Slash.
Wickedly supple and sensitive suspension
Super stable in steep and rough terrain
The playful, agile attitude
Generous frame protection
Stealthy quiet on the trail
Downtube storage could be more generous
We'd like to see a slightly steeper seat tube angle

The Slash 29 didn’t just turn heads, it blew minds, when it launched three years ago. And now it comes in an affordable, aluminum-frame option.
