[@markRUshredding]

Great video. Thanks. Sharing my TREK Slash 9.8 XT upgrades. 1. Ridewrap custom. 2. OneUp 180mm dropper. 3. PNW dropper remote. 4. PNW Loam grips. 5. OneUp 35mm rise handlebar. 6. OneUp 35Mm stem. 7. OneUp threadless carrier & EDC tool. 8. Wolf Tooth is41 headset. 9. Maxxis Assegai front tire. 10. Maxxis Dissector rear tire. 11. NSB 23mm brake adapter rear silver. 12. 203mm rotor rear. 13. MTX red ceramic brake pads. 14. OneUp alloy pedals silver. 15. Rockshox mudguard bolt on to fork

You got some awesome upgrades! How’s that 203 rotor rear? I’m thinking of going to that, or just saving up for some new brakes

[@markRUshredding]

@@JaredHoff the MTX ceramic pads and the 203 rotor is a must have to avoid fade at the bike park. No complaints with the Shimano 8120 XT brakes. One upgrade I am seriously considering is swapping the rear shock to a FOX DHX2 coil. However I want to get more time on the Rockshox super deluxe before I make that decision. The ZEB fork is a keeper.

@@markRUshredding thanks for the info man. It’s always good to get feedback from the guys like me who bought the bike and aren’t pro riders that are paid to ride it 👍🏻

[@Peanut-gu8wl]

These videos are super helpfull! I am busy buying a trek slash 8 and seeing some of the recommended upgrades really help

[@JaredHoff]

So glad to have helped. Thank you for letting me know 🙏🏻 that means a lot to me. So glad to help

[@Peanut-gu8wl]

@@JaredHoff picking my slash 8 up tomorrow super keen first bike in 6 years!!!

[@JaredHoff]

@@Peanut-gu8wl stoked for you!!! You’re going to love it

[@Peanut-gu8wl]

@@JaredHoff got the bike today and took it to our local bika and trial park! Im inlove!

[@JaredHoff]

@@Peanut-gu8wl that’s Awesome! Stoked for you 👍🏻

[@SuperShreddies]

Stoked that I found your vids/channel. Love the work that you put into your videos and your bike. 👊 My 9.7 shows up in 2 months and these vids have helped me out a lot with possible future upgrades and just the overall sense you’re getting from the ride, as I am close in size at roughly 195lbs/5’11” and similar riding style / level. So this is all hitting the mark for me. Can’t wait to see this beast in person 🤤 I had to try the 8 for size and then order the 9.7 in. She pops in the sun!! Haha Keep up the great work! Thank you. Cheers from Canada!

[@JaredHoff]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m stoked for you. You’re going to like that 9.7 Slash. I’ll keep posting my upgrade vids. I know I always like to see what other people have done to upgrade their MTBs.

I ordered a Trek slash 7, 2022. I went with that knowing I was going to upgrade the suspension. I'm going to go a bit further and getting the factory version of the 38, and the fox float X2. It's a beautiful bike. To bad I have to wait till September

[@JaredHoff]

That’s going to be an awesome build. I had the Factory 38 and X2 on my last bike and loved it. That’s why I got the 38 for this bike. Sucks you have to wait so long, but it will be worth it.

[@powlsn]

Hey great video! I also get my trek slash soon and wanted to thank you for your reviews on the bike because you have made my buying decision easier with your impressions. ❤ greeting from germany

[@JaredHoff]

So glad to have helped, and super stoked for you. You’ll love the Slash!

[@MilitaryVet]

Can’t wait to see that Fox 38 fork!

[@JaredHoff]

Video will be coming after the free stuff/giveaway video. I’ll do a full Fox 38 fork install video.

[@floriang.303]

Hey, i bought the same bike :) which variant of the MRP bashguard do you have mounted? So, which model and size? Thanks in advance and best regards from germany.

[@JaredHoff]

This is the MRP bashguard I got. amzn.to/3eRcASa

[@ryanbarnet1672]

Hey man, great reviews. Just curious if you are experiencing pedal strikes like crazy on this bike? Do you run high or low setting? Thanks

[@JaredHoff]

I run the stock low setting. I feel it give the bike a “mini-downhill” bike feel. I adjust my riding to compensate for the lower BB and possible pedal strikes. Let me know if you have more questions about that setup. I know it always helps me to hear for fellow riders

[@samharris3508]

Cool bike. Buy why are trying to sound irritated for spending money on expensive optional parts, as if someone forced you to get them?

[@JaredHoff]

You’re not wrong!
