Expirience with the Trek Slash 8

Ludwig Döhl Sometimes the fun is in the details: The Slash 8 has an integrated storage compartment in the down tube. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Trek, the 64,1 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Enduro von Trek. Trek is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek puts a lot of trust in its products.
