TREK SLASH GEN 6 – PRODUCT LAUNCH

Trek Slash Gen 6

 

Trek Slash Gen 6

The all-new TREK Slash features 170mm of front and rear travel facilitated by a sophisticated high-pivot suspension design.

 

TREK’s popular Slash enduro mountain bike is back and it’s had quite a dramatic makeover! The all-new sixth-generation Slash includes a number of significant changes to its predecessor, boasting a raft of new features designed to make your ride-experience faster, more frenetic and downright rowdy than ever before. With 170mm of front and rear travel on all models, a choice of an alloy or carbon chassis and a spread of component options across the range of seven bikes there’ll be a new TREK Slash to suit you and your budget. Oh, and the headliner? It’s got to be that high-pivot suspension configuration…

We’d already seen TREK adopt a high-pivot suspension platform on the Session, their longest-travel, gravity-focused downhill race bike, with incredibly successful results. The inclusion of a very similar design on the all-new Slash enduro bike was a no-brainer; sitting just below the Session in TREK’s long-travel food chain of full-suspension mountain bikes it was almost a formality that this 6th generation Slash would boast a high-pivot design.

We got to ride the all-new Trek Slash on launch day! Check it out…

 

Trek Slash Gen 6 2024

TREK have spec’d the all-new Slash with a ‘Mullet’ wheel configuration – 29″ front, 27.5″ rear, although you can run a 29″ on the rear if you prefer.

 

The Slash’s new high-pivot suspension layout facilitates a rearward axle path, providing incredibly smooth suspension while maintaining enhanced forward momentum. How so? Well, that rearward axle pathway means your rear wheel moves away from the force of impacts rather than against them, letting you blast over mid-trail obstacles with increased control and confidence.

In the past one of the potential drawbacks of a high-pivot suspension platform was chain growth and pedal kickback. As the rear axle travelled through its suspension the chain tightened and pulled back on the cranks. Bikes like the new TREK Slash have solved this issue with extra pulleys forming part of the drivetrain; in this case you can see them positioned above and behind the front chainring. Routing the chain around idler pulleys gives it room to grow without unwanted tension, meaning you won’t get a harsh pedal kickback.


How does it work? Trek Slash Gen 6 ‘s High-Pivot Suspension

 

TREK Slash Gen 6

The Slash’s rearward axle path provides incredibly smooth suspension while maintaining enhanced forward momentum.

 

TREK have clearly spent a long time developing this new high-pivot suspension configuration so that it hits a sweet spot, providing plush rear suspension AND tangible pedalling efficiency, preventing you from wasting valuable energy thanks to those oversized pulleys which help keep pedalling super-smooth.

While your time onboard this sort of enduro bike is always going to be predominantly gravity-focused it’s nice to know that when you point the Slash uphill in a quest to get back to the top of your favourite trail as quickly as possible it promises to be easier to pedal than other high-pivot bikes. According to TREK the all-new Slash is able to scramble straight up super-techy, rocky climbs, maintaining more upward momentum thanks to that rearward axle path which prevents the rear wheel from getting hung-up on roots and rocks.

So what else is new with TREK’s sixth-generation Slash enduro mountain bike? We’ve put together some key features and fast facts below, as well as full specifications of each model in the Slash range of bikes…

TREK Slash Gen 6

The Slash’s oversized pulleys eliminate any potential for pedal kickback while helping to keep pedalling super-smooth.

  • Slacker frame geometry than its predecessor
  • Adjustable-angle headset cups
  • Rear travel increased from 160mm to 170mm
  • Adjustable suspension leverage-rate chip
  • ‘Mullet’ mixed-wheel configuration, comes as standard (29” front, 27.5” rear)

TREK Slash Gen 6 Fast Facts

  • Size small frame features a curved top tube for enhanced clearance and rider agility.
  • Size small bike features a pair of 27.5” wheels rather than mullet configuration (27.5” rear/29” front wheel).
  • You can run two 29” wheels if you prefer, by swapping the bolt-on lower shock-mount (sold separately).
  • TREK’s iconic ‘Mino Link’ is gone. The Slash’s headtube angle is now changed via the angle-adjust headset, while the bolt-on lower shock mount allows you to adjust bottom bracket height when changing wheel sizes.
  • The headset cups allow you to get a full degree of head tube angle adjustment. All Slash’s come with neutral/zero-degree cups as standard. (Alternative angle-adjust headset cups sold separately).
  • Maximum tyre width for front and rear 27.5” and 29” wheels is 2.5”.
  • All Slash bikes come with the required parts, including sealant to set your wheels up tubeless.
  • The all-new Slash does not feature TREK’s Knock Block steering limiter.
  • The TREK Slash can run a bottle cage on the downtube; all models include a Bontrager right-side-load water bottle cage.

There’s increased room for longer dropper seatposts on all frame sizes. Dropper post insertions are:

  • SML – 290 mm
