Trek Slash+ e-MTB // Just arrived for testing!

[@benperd]

Everything you guys review is the best thing ever. Almost like you’re being paid for the content.

[@JensEser]

What’s your height, what frame size did you test ride?

[@LouisCollison-rj5ks]

Looks sick!

[@OOOnanana]

cant really compete in this bike market with 50NM... meanwhile DJI same weight putting out full power. Ill wait

[@Raumance]

You gotta add 2kg or 4 pounds to the weights to get the actual riding weight. So DJI was 20kg I think so real weight 22kg.

Only thing wrong with this bike is the price. Value compared to decoy sn isn't there.

I had an EXe for a while, I found the TQ underwhelming and the range very poor. Bike looks sweet, but it just wouldn't have the power/capacity for me. It's the sort of bike where you to need to winch up and bomb down, but there wouldn't be enough winching up before a charge.

[@adampalma3765]

he said it has a 580wh battery, thats probably over 200wh more than your EXe

[@trollingthunder152]

SL category isnt for everyone. I prefer the lighter weight and i only want a slight push up the hill. I dont need to be pulled up by a tractor gripping on for dear life.

Subject to fitness. I love my Fuel Exe, range is superb as is its lightweight. Motor only required to take the edge off the steepest hills. Still want to own what I do and not be simply along as passenger 👌😊

@@shaneycarter8803 "Own what I do" "not be a passenger". What a load of elitist garbage, what does that even mean? You're a legend because you ride up hills slowly instead of quickly? Lets add some sarcastic emoticons too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1) Subject to terrain, more than fitness. 2) The assistance level of the motor does not govern how much leg power the rider puts in, it doesn't not control how hard the rider rides. The riders' attitude does. When the whole ride is really fast like going downhill the whole time, that's exciting and the rider pushes harder. At least that's how it works for some of us who aren't too busy "owning what we do" 🙄 I rarely have a heart rate under 160bpm pushing up hill on a 104nm bike. How much higher is yours? Just because someone wants bike that goes faster with the SAME effort, doesn't make them somehow less than you. Get over the guilt already.

@@shaneycarter8803 I love my analog bike for trail/fitness rides. That's subject to fitness though. My Trek Top Fuel has superb range as it's lightweight. I don't need a motor to get up steep hills. When I'm riding that, I'm owning what I do and being less of a passenger than you, whatever that means 👌😊 Then I use my Rocky Mountain 104nm bike to winch up super steep stuff really quickly and bomb down gnarly stuff, with 180/160 travel. Have you considered how sad it is for you to have a go at me for riding a full ebike while you're riding half one, the same way a non-ebiker elitist would have a go at all ebikers?
