I have a 9.8 GX in the Battleship blue and love it . I'm more familiar with a trail geometry but This beast is awesome .
Congrats on the Trek Slash! 🇺🇸
I've been bikepacking for years but never owned a mountain bike. This one bike looks really good. Thank you for the review.
I am 188cm/6'2 and bikes always XL earlier. Nut now with 9.8 XT L size is just perfect! I have had difficulties to set Assegai DD to the line elite rim. Thick sidewalls and rim strip do not work together somehow and tire wobbles.
I’m 6’2” and went with the Large as well,feels good, will most likely change the 35mm stem for a 45mm
Very nice Chris. My brother and I go to Targhee every week. If you are interested, let me know.
Absolutely, Ill have to see when will be a good weekend for me to go up there. Ill let you know.
Why trek finishes their carbon bars in shiny black...in 2021....why trek why?
orange and blue... wtf
purple...
?
@@WildOutdoorLiving im not hater but i dont like that colors together. its propably from your old bike. u got orange bike blue sadle and purple grips. ask your girl if she like that colors together :)
Haha orange and blue is probably the most popular color combo for sports teams (behind red and white) but it’s not my style, just what I had. I now have the pedals I want (in purple) and I have that same saddle in black so now it’s all just orange and purple. Some people may hate it but that’s fine.
