DESCRIPTION
The Trek Slash+ 9.7 is a light-assist enduro e-MTB that quietly blends in on the trail. It pairs a high-pivot OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a long-travel 170 mm front and rear Fox suspension package and the discreet, near-silent assist of TQ's HPR50 motor, so climbs become easier and you can fit in more laps. It comes equipped to rip, with tubeless-ready wheels in a 29 front / 27.5 rear mixed setup, a Bontrager Line dropper post, 4-piston Shimano brakes and a blend of Shimano SLX and XT components.

Who Is the Slash+ 9.7 For?
The Slash+ 9.7 is for enduro riders who want all the descending capability of a high-pivot bike plus a quiet electric boost that does not look, feel or sound like an e-bike, just enough support for extra laps.
For New Zealand riders, it is a hard-hitting choice for our steep, technical trails and bike parks, giving you a natural ride feel with a little help on the long climbs back up.
