The Slash+ 9.9 X0 AXS T-Type is a light-assist long-travel MTB that's built to hammer through the rough and give you just the boost you crave on climbs. It pairs a high-pivot design with an upgraded 170 mm/170 mm RockShox Ultimate 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 every upgrade you crave, like carbon wheels, SRAM X0 AXS wireless shifting, a RockShox dropper post and SRAM Maven 4-piston brakes.

It's right for you if...

You're ready for a next-level enduro bike that delivers on everything. You want the ride-boosting performance of an e-MTB without the heavy ride and noisy motor. You know that upgrades matter and want a top-tier high-pivot carbon frame paired with SRAM's light, yet rugged X0 AXS wireless transmission and an upgraded suspension package.

The tech you get

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with high pivot suspension and a quiet but mighty TQ HPR50 (50 Nm, 250 W) motor with a 580 Wh battery. 170 mm of front and rear travel from a RockShox ZEB Ultimate Deluxe fork with DebonAir spring and Charger 3.1 damper with a RockShox Vivid Ultimate shock. Bontrager Line Pro 30 OCLV Mountain Carbon wheels (29" front, 27.5" rear) for handling the rough, a RockShox Reverb dropper post, SRAM Maven Silver 4-piston brakes and a wireless electronic SRAM X0 AXS direct mount transmission.

The final word

If you're after the best enduro bike, plus a boost, reach for the Slash+ 9.9 X0 AXS T-Type. This high-pivot long-travel enduro e-MTB is made for ripping down the gnarliest terrain and pushing you back to the top, lap after lap. It gives you the natural handling and feel of a traditional bike while making climbs quicker and easier so you can ride further and faster.

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
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
Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedalling astonishingly efficient
You can pair the Slash+ with the Trek Central app to customise your motor's support, map out rides, log miles and more
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
