  • Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT

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 (50Nm, 250W) motor with a 580Wh battery. 170mm 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 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.

Pinkbike's 2024 eMTB of the Year

"especially fun bike in the steep, chunky terrain"

"I realize 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 awesome 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.
