Trek Slash+ 9.7
Made for the steep and rowdy.
Slash+ 9.7 is a rowdy mid-assist e-MTB built to take on big lines, long days, and everything in between. A TQ HPR 60 motor with a 580Wh battery delivers smooth, natural-feeling support on the ups without compromising ride feel on the downs. It’s built around a rugged OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and spec’d with a SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type 12-speed drivetrain, SRAM DB 8 brakes, and a Fox Rhythm 38 fork paired with a Fox Performance Float X shock for confident control when the trail gets spicy.

What makes it special
Thoughtful details. Big possibilities.
01High-pivot suspension
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.
02Curb the kickback
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 pedaling. The integrated lower chain guide takes chain tension off the derailleur, so you get smoother shifting and suspension performance.
03Mixed wheel size
You get a 29" front wheel for monster truckin' over stuff, with a smaller 27.5" wheel out back for getting rowdy.

Good to know6
- You almost forgot your pedals This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you'll have a better ride if you choose your own. Explore the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style. Reach for flat pedals for simple versatility or go for clipless MTB pedals if you want control & efficiency.
- Suspension Calculator This suspension calculator will help you optimize your suspension settings for your riding weight. Simply follow the steps to find your best set up.
- Slash+ accessories Dial your Slash+ for slaying the trail with pedals, bottles, range extenders, and so much more — all compatible with Slash+.
- Complete Tubeless System Tubeless Ready rims and tires make it easy to ditch the tubes so you get better traction, fewer flats, and less weight. You're ready to roll right out of the box with the included TLR rim strips, valves, and sealant.
- Rapid Drive 108 rear hub With 108 points of engagement, Rapid Drive gives you nearly instant acceleration instead of a clunky lag when you step on the pedals. You get smooth, immediate power to blast out of corners and hammer through the rough stuff. And that extra pedal ratchet adds control that can make all the difference when tackling a tricky climb.
- Oversized 34.9mm dropper post Bigger is better. The oversized seat tube diameter gives more support and strength for longer travel droppers, and allows for more robust, durable internals that work faster.

“Pinkbike's 2024 eMTB of the Year”
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 you want out of a long-travel e-bike

“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.

“Slash+ is a standout descender”
Slash+ feels like something between a regular bike and full power eMTB — and it’s ultimately a more intuitive descender as a result.
