Expirience with the Trek Slash 9.9 XTR Gen 6

Ludwig Döhl Trek delivers what the scene wants with the Slash 9.9 XTR. A high pivot enduro with a mullet wheel setup. A mini downhiller that doesn't shy away from any trail in this world with 170 mm of fork travel. God bless America and its engineers. Thanks to a moderate 62,6 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Slash 9.9 XTR, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. The Trek Fully shows what its capable of in the downhill. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!
