Trek has updated the Slash long-travel bike its factory enduro race team competes on, giving it more rear-wheel travel, mixed wheel sizes as standard, and a new high-pivot and chain idler suspension design.<\/p>\n

The brand\u2019s aim was to arm the Slash with more capability for the wildest trails, so enduro racers, bike-park rippers and anyone wanting to push their limits can hit the trails hard and ride back to the top.<\/p>\n

There are seven new models being released: two aluminium bikes and five carbon-framed offerings. Plus, there are aluminium and carbon framesets available.<\/p>\n

Prices range from \u00a34,250\/$4,399.99\/\u20ac4,499\/AU$6,999.99 for the Slash 8 base model to \u00a311,750\/$11,499.99\/\u20ac12,499\/AU$19,499.99 for the top-spec carbon option.<\/p>\n
