Field Test: 2021 Trek Slash - Ready to Race

Dec 2020 · Mike Kazimer

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

Highs
  • Light and stiff frame – encourages you to go fast

  • Great shock tune

  • In-frame storage

  • Wide range of available frame size options

Lows
  • Seat tube angle could still be a bit steeper

  • Shorter cranks and an even longer dropper post would have been nice to see

Trek Slash 9.9 X01: first ride review - MBR

Sep 2020 · Alan Muldoon

First ride review of 2021 Trek Slash 9.9. Trek’s 29in enduro trail blazer returns with more travel and a progressive makeover.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • 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.

  • Chainstay protector is too short
