For the mountain biker who mainly loves descending and wants to rack up laps on their favourite spots by riding back up themselves. It also suits the rider who spends part of the year at the bike park and wants a bike that can climb forest tracks the rest of the time.
OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. On this new version of the Slash+, Trek keeps the high-pivot OCLV Mountain carbon frame and pairs it with the TQ HPR60 motor, which has more torque than the HPR50 of the first series. The carbon absorbs the increase in power without excessive weight gain: 21.58 kg in M, more than 2 kg below the lightest full-power Rail+.
| Fuel EXe (TQ HPR50) | Slash+ (TQ HPR60) | Rail+ (Bosch CX) | |
| Motor torque | 50 Nm | 50 Nm (HPR50) or 60 Nm (HPR60) | 85 Nm, up to 100 Nm via the app |
| Battery | TQ 360 Wh | TQ 580 Wh | Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh |
| Weight (M) | 18.68 to 19.33 kg | 20.38 to 21.83 kg | 23.73 to 25.08 kg |
| What it means | Feels close to a non-assisted mountain bike | Light enduro, more range | Full power, more weight |
Put simply: the Slash+ 9.7 is Trek's "mid-power" electric enduro bike, with 60 Nm and 580 Wh. Its Fox Performance and SRAM Eagle 70 spec puts toughness ahead of counting grams.
The 60 Nm of the HPR60 change everything on steep, technical climbs: you can keep a steady cadence over steps without standing on the pedals. The assist cuts out at 25 km/h, in line with the European rule for a 250 W rated motor; beyond that, the high pivot and 170 mm take over on the descents.
The SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type drivetrain and its 10-52 cassette mount on the UDH hanger, with no derailleur hanger to bend against a rock. The four-piston DB 8 brakes and their 200 mm rotors offer enough power for the descents of the Hauts Cantons; an annual bleed keeps them consistent.
| Model | Motor / battery | Rear / front travel | Drivetrain | Weight (M) |
| Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT | TQ HPR50 / 580 Wh | 170 / 170 mm | Shimano SLX / XT 12-speed | 20.38 kg |
| Slash+ 9.7 | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 170 mm fork | SRAM Eagle 70 12-speed | 21.58 kg |
| Slash+ 9.9 | TQ HPR60 / 580 Wh | 170 mm fork | Wireless SRAM X0 AXS | 21.83 kg |
| Rail+ 9.7 Eagle 70 | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 160 / 160 mm | SRAM Eagle 70 12-speed | 23.88 kg |
Our take: at 21.58 kg in M, this Slash+ 9.7 weighs 1.2 kg more than the HPR50-powered Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT (20.38 kg), for 10 Nm more torque. The full-power Rail+ 9.7 Eagle 70 goes up to 23.88 kg.

LVR sizing advice If you are between sizes, the smaller one makes the bike more playful in hairpins, the larger one more stable at high speed. The dropper goes from 100 mm in S to 200 mm in L and XL, and size S rolls on 27.5 inch wheels front and rear.
