Thank you to my sponsoring shop (The Wheel house NH) for providing the Demo. If your interested in grabbing one of these Gen 6 slashes or a Gen 5 on clearance hit them up! They also carry Transition and Revel bikes and as you saw in some previous videos they will custom build anything you want!
After 3 years on my Gen 5 slash that I absolutely loved, I couldn't wait to throw a leg over the new version! But did trek hit it out of the park with the new high pivot Gen 6 slash like they did with the Gen 5 slash, or did they strike out? Did they try to do too much, or was it the perfect recipe? Well, you'll just have to watch to find out.
I've been able to spend quite a bit of time on arguably one of the best high pivot enduro bikes on the market the Deviate Claymore which is an absolutely incredible bike. We deep dive in this video on the differences between these 2 bikes and also compare to the old slash. If you didn't see it covered in the video hit the comments below and I'll try and answer every question.
