Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT

Model 5321921

The 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 170 mm/170 mm 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.

Overview

It's right for you if...

You want all the benefits of a high-pivot enduro bike, plus an electric boost. You want a bike with natural handling and a quiet ride that's built to hammer through the rough, and a little push for getting in a few extra laps.

The tech you get

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with high pivot suspension and a quiet but mighty TQ HPR50 (50 Nm, 250 W) motor with a 580 Wh battery. 170 mm of front and rear travel from a Fox Rhythm 38 fork with Float EVOL air spring and GRIP damper and a Fox Performance Float X shock. Stiff Bontrager Line Comp 30 Tubeless Ready wheels (29" front, 27.5" rear) for handling the rough, a Bontrager Line dropper post and a Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain.

The final word

When you want a carbon enduro ride plus a little extra, reach for the Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT. This long-travel high-pivot enduro rig gives you the handling of a next-level trail beast with the added benefit of a quiet motor that doesn't look, feel or sound like an e-bike. You get nothing but a hard-hitting ride on the downs and an easy boost on the ups.

  3. Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedalling astonishingly efficient
  4. You can pair the Slash+ with the Trek Central app to customise 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

Pinkbike's 2024 eMTB of the Year

"The Slash+ might just be the best eMTB I've ridden to date, with a balanced feel that doesn't feel overly heavy or sluggish, all while providing all the high-speed truckin' capabilities that you want from a long-travel e-bike"

"an especially fun bike in the steep, chunky terrain"

"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."

Now that sounds good

Riding 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.
