Trek did a very good job making the Slash a quiet bike, then seemingly lost the plot when they specced a hard rubber chainslap protector that does little to mitigate the drivetrain noise in bumpy terrain.
Excellent geometry and balanced ride
Composed, capable, and predictable suspension
Climbs well for such a downhill-focused bike
Excels in challenging terrain
Chassis may be too stiff for some
Chain drop issues due to improperly spaced lower idler (fixed)
Stock chainstay protector did very little to manage noise

If you’re looking for a bad ass downhill bike that will literally have you taking your fingers off the brakes longer as it floats over the chunder beneath you, the 2022 Trek Session 9 is worth a solid look.
Holy Moly Fast!
Smooth as butter
Fair value
Inspires confidence like few others
Looks good, paint splatter!
G5 Tires
180mm rear brake rotor
Rear end can be awkward, long feeling in tight, slow corners
Handlebar sweep/lack of rise
