Stepping away from the traditional frame design of its predecessor, the latest Trek Slash mimics their longer travel Session downhill bike, moving the needle forward to maximize descending performance and adjustability. This bike launched the day we got to Snow Summit and was certainly a head-turner in the lift line and a highly anticipated bike for our testers.

We stayed right at the base of the mountain, courtesy of Visit Big Bear, and couldn't have asked for a more convenient way to spend the week testing bikes. With our condo less than a minute from the Snow Summit village, we could easily head back to our unit between laps and had plenty of space to work on our bikes.
