Trek Slash AL Gen 6 Frameset

The Slash AL frameset is an aggressive aluminium enduro frameset and the perfect foundation for your dream bike. The high-pivot configuration helps maintain speed over rough terrain and keeps you planted on steep descents.

• Alpha Platinum Aluminium frame, 170mm
• Claimed weight M - 5.30kg

Highlights

• High-pivot suspension: Slash's main pivot encourages the rear axle to move backwards as the suspension compresses, allowing the rear wheel to move with the force of impacts and get over them faster. Slash is super smooth on the trail, carries more momentum and delivers incredible traction.
• Keep pedal kickback in check: Slash's oversized upper idler pulley eliminates pedal kickback caused by the high pivot, while its size and position also provide the right amount of anti-squat to improve pedalling efficiency. The lower pulley relieves chain tension on the rear derailleur for smoother shifting and improved suspension performance.
• Mixed wheels: The 29" front wheel ploughs over obstacles like a bulldozer, while the 27.5" rear wheel is ready to let loose. Want the speed of a 29er?
• Improved storage compartment: Its plastic parts are made from recycled materials.
