Expirience with the Trek Slash 7

Ludwig Döhl Sometimes the fun is in the details: The Slash 7 has an integrated storage compartment in the down tube. The combination of a 64,1 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Trek Enduro, even if you ride fast. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Trek Fully. There are Enduro in the price under 4500 Euro that have more potential downhill. Anyway: In the uphill, the Enduro of Trek lets the competitors look outdated. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek is behind its products.
