With an OCLV Mountain carbon frame whose head angle and suspension curve are adjustable, the Trek Slash+ 9.7 adapts to its rider's terrain. Its 60 Nm TQ HPR60 motor draws on a 580 Wh battery, and Trek quotes 21.58 kg in size M. Gloss Chameleon Green/Matte Dark Web contrasts a gloss green with shifting highlights against a matt dark grey.

For the curious mountain biker who wants to fine-tune their bike to their rides: a slacker head angle for steep slopes, steeper for twisty trails. It will also suit the rider progressing in enduro who wants a bike that can evolve with them over several seasons.
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 adjustable-angle headset changes the fork's inclination: slacker, it reassures on steep descents; steeper, it makes the bike sharper on technical climbs. The adjustable leverage curve, for its part, affects firmness at the end of the stroke. We carry out these adjustments in the workshop, along with a sag check.
With the 580 Wh battery and a motor that fades away above 25 km/h, the European limit for 250 W rated, the Slash+ lends itself to the big enduro loops of the Montagne Noire. The Eagle 70's 10-52 cassette offers a very low gear for dirt ramps, and the 27.5 inch rear wheel keeps the back end lively in hairpins.
| 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: this Slash+ 9.7 shares its frame, motor and battery with the Slash+ 9.9 (21.83 kg in M); the 9.9 adds RockShox Ultimate suspension, a wireless drivetrain and carbon wheels for 250 g more.

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.
