We caught up with Jamie Edmondson to get the details on his new Trek Slash.

The Slash 8 strikes the perfect balance between a fun and lively feel, and ultimate chaos-calming composure
Easy to ride, very natural feeling geometry
Great kit for the cash
Easy to throw about yet still calm and stable when it needs to be
Seriously impressive suspension
Tyres aren’t the best in damp mud

The Trek Slash has been 29-inch-only since 2016, and the 2021 version is evidence of its head start in the big-wheel enduro category.
Superb high-speed stability
Great traction in variable terrain
Supple and generous-feeling suspension
Less maneuverable at slow speeds
A lot of bike to get back up the hill

We took the Trek Slash 9.9 X01 to our toughest local trails to see how its new shape and unique shock translate to the real world
Phenomenal rear suspension
Easy setup
Awesome aggro geometry
Precision accuracy
High control cockpit
Internal storage
Efficient pedaling
Threaded BB
Optional steering lock
More confident with switched tires
ZEB fork requires some patience
Deserves better wheels
Short dropper on small sizes
Seriously grounded rather than playful
