Expirience with the Trek Slash 9.9 XTR

Ludwig Döhl Sometimes the fun is in the details: The Slash 9.9 XTR has an integrated storage compartment in the down tube. On the scale, the Trek Slash 9.9 XTR with 13,9 kg looks good. Most Enduro in the price range until above 8000 Euro are heavier. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Trek Enduro. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
