    Summary

    Expirience with the Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS

    Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS Review Sometimes the fun is in the details: The Slash 9.8 GX AXS has an integrated storage compartment in the down tube. With 14,6 kg, the Enduro of Trek counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. The flat 64,1 degree head tube angle of the Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Slash 9.8 GX AXS. There are Enduro in the price under 8000 Euro that have more potential downhill. One thing shouldn't be underestimated: In the uphill, the Trek Enduro with its overall sporty orientation makes it really hard for on very demanding single trails competitors to catch up. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek puts a lot of trust in its products.
