Trek Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT⚡️ - INFO

Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT is a light-assist enduro e-MTB that quietly blends in on the trail

It pairs a high-pivot rear end with a long-travel 170mm/170mm Fox suspension package and the quiet assist of TQ's HPR50 motor to give you just enough support to make climbs a breeze, so you can hammer out more laps. It comes equipped with everything you need to rip, like tubeless-ready wheels, a dropper post, and a blend of Shimano SLX and XT components.

2. The TQ HPR50 motor is compact, light, and nearly silent, so you blend right in with traditional bikes and get just the support you need for long, grueling climbs
3. Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedaling astonishingly efficient
4. You can pair Slash+ with the Trek Central app to customize your motor's support, map out rides, log miles, and more
5. The internal battery stays shielded from roots, rocks, and knocks, but can easily be pulled out with just your multi tool – plus you can add a range extender for days when you really want to push it
