    Summary

    Expirience with the Trek Slash 9.8 XT

    Trek Slash 9.8 XT Review Sometimes the fun is in the details: The Slash 9.8 XT has an integrated storage compartment in the down tube. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Trek, at 14,6 kg. Thus, the Enduro of Trek is one of the lighter Enduro that you get for 7199 Euro . 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 seating position is sporty. Anyway: In the uphill, the Trek Enduro lets the competitors look outdated. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
