Trek Slash: A bright orange and black mountain bike leans against a brick wall. It features thick, knobby tires and distinctive handlebars with wooden grips. In the background, there is a wooden fence and a bike rack mounted on the wall, alongside a small container. The ground is paved with patterned concrete slabs, and the scene is illuminated by sunlight.

MSRP: $5,769
#5 out of 165 All-Mountain bikes
Brand: Trek
This bike is built to dominate: the mountain, gravity, your limits, the guy with #1 on his numberplate. Throw Slash down the most technical descent, fly back up. And win.

Smooth, controlled braking
Our patented ABP (Active Braking Pivot) keeps your suspension from stiffening up when you're on the brakes, giving you confident, steady control.

DRCV all-terrain control
Our two-chamber DRCV (Dual Rate Control Valve) shock gives you coil performance at air shock weight, for smooth, seamless, all-terrain control.

Fine tune your geometry
Our reversible Mino Link lets you relax the geometry when bombing descents, or tighten it when weaving through singletrack.

2013 Models: 650b & enduro optimized
Every detail is optimized and sized to maximize the advantages of 650b wheels, and the slightly racier geometry is tuned for the rigors of enduro.
