Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT

The Slash+ 9.7 SLX/XT is a light-assist enduro e-MTB that quietly blends in on the trail. It pairs a high-pivot rear end with a long-travel 170 mm/170 mm Fox suspension package and the quiet assist of TQ's HPR50 motor to give you just enough support to make climbs a breeze, so you can hammer out more laps. It comes equipped with everything you need to rip, like tubeless ready wheels, a dropper post and a blend of Shimano SLX and XT components.

Why you'll love it

1. You don't have to compromise climbing for descending – the Slash+ delivers it all with the chunder-crushing benefits of a high-pivot suspension design and a quiet motor that all but disappears on the trail
2. The TQ HPR50 motor is compact, light and nearly silent, so you blend right in with traditional bikes and get just the support you need for long, gruelling climbs
3. Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedalling astonishingly efficient
4. You can pair the Slash+ with the Trek Central app to customise your motor's support, map out rides, log miles and more
5. The internal battery stays shielded from roots, rocks and knocks, but can easily be pulled out with just your multi tool – plus you can add a range extender for days when you really want to push it
