"I realise that there is a lot to digest here. Would I enjoy a mid-power ebike, particularly on a long-travel platform? Is the high pivot as amazing as the hype? Solid yes to both of those questions."
Read more"... a balanced feel that doesn't feel overly heavy or sluggish, all while providing all the high-speed truckin' capabilities that you want out from a long-travel e-bike."
Read more"The Slash+ feels like something between a regular bike and full power eMTB – and it’s ultimately a more intuitive descender as a result."

Get it hereRiding an e-bike is about more than the power – it's about the way we blend in with nature, too. Most e-bike motors have gears make noise and pull you out of the element, but TQ's HPR50 has proven to be both quieter and less annoying.
Learn moreThe Slash's high main pivot allows the axle to move rearward as the suspension compresses, so the back wheel moves with the force from bumps and gets out of the way faster. On the trail, it feels ultra-smooth while maintaining more momentum with insane traction.
The Slash+'s oversized upper idler not only eliminates pedal kickback caused by high pivot suspension, but its size and position also give you just the right amount of anti-squat for efficient pedalling. The integrated lower chain guide takes chain tension off the derailleur, so you get smoother shifting and suspension performance.
You get a 29" front wheel for monster truckin' over stuff, with a smaller 27.5" wheel out back for getting rowdy.
Adjust the leverage rate with just a flip of a chip. Ride it in the Less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails with square-edge bumps. Flip it to More progressive when you're hitting big features and don’t want to bottom-out, or when you want to run a coil shock.
Install angle-adjust headset cups (sold separately) to tweak the head tube angle a degree steeper or slacker to your liking – all without impacting your bottom bracket height.
The TQ-HPR50 motor is super-efficient with an amazing power-to-weight ratio. Most motors use gears and belts that take up space and can make noise or break. The TQ-HPR50 uses a harmonic pin-ring drive transmission that’s small, ultra-quiet and unbelievably natural-feeling.
The Trek Central app seamlessly connects with your bike for custom motor tuning, activity tracking and more ways to analyse and personalise your ride. You even get navigation features and real-time range calculations.
Give yourself 40% more range with an optional 160 Wh external battery. It fits in a standard bottle cage and doesn’t require any complicated wiring or special mounts.
The 580 Wh battery gives you power for 3 to 7 hours of ripping, depending on mode, rider weight and terrain. It's tucked away neatly in the downtube for a sleek, quiet ride, but can easily be removed with a hex wrench for convenient charging or travel.
