Dude, the internet needs more of this. Thank you for mentioning the Slash.
I have a 2018 remedy. It is one of the best bikes I’ve ever owned if not the best. Some days I’ll choose that over my 200mm downhill bike at the bike park. These bikes are notoriously fun and i would highly recommend! :)
i remember watching this and being so excited about this bike. i still have it and excited to ride it this weekend!
I got me a 2018 remedy,
I flooping love it
Interesting video. Mike, your video presentation is superb - you’re clear and very knowledgeable, which helps immensely.
I’m a really big fan of 29” wheels, but the only caveat that I have noticed with the Slash, is that the super slack seattube actually seems to cause problems with the dropper seatpost; from my somewhat limited experience with it, I had to almost make sure I was placing pressure on the tip of the saddle to make it drop smoothly.
I am however, blown away by how smooth the suspension is on the descents and how well it pedals up.
My dream bike💚💚💚
Own a pushed 2014 Remedy 9 with Nobl wheels and 150mm fork Went XL vs L to get more reach and stability and it has been a phenomenal platform for PNW riding and excels at most things. Superb technical climber, great descender and quite playful and reactive. I wouldn't hesitate to go 2019 Remedy 9.8 at $7100 CAD. The spec is very competitive, equal or better than most other brands and they include a carbon wheelset which is a big up sell IMHO if you like a more reactive bike and spend a lot of time climbing.
Shandro picks Slash. Yup but I wouldn't read too much into that because he rides much faster up and down than 99% of riders and can actually get what your supposed to out of that bike on the shore. See him regularly on our local trails he's a beast. I still think most would be happier and having more fun on the Remedy as its quicker, more responsive and still plenty fast on the down. That and the Remedy has a longer warranty..

My most awaited favourite mtbike just released I'm really excited about this 2019 remedy gotta loved this bike always😍😃😃👍
WOW, i want one
thanks for not saying E*****.
Also knock block is insane. every other manufacturer has figured out how to make these bikes without that.
They actually gave the bike a great spec this year. I would have a Slash over one of these though.
The Remedy used to be 27.5/29. Then came the slash and they made the 29er remedy the slash.
Gotta match that Kash!!!
Looks like a... pretty good looking bike
i like full black with cashima coat
this looks like it might just be able to handle the roads here in Toronto, which are not paved yet. i hear that some cities pave their roads. is that true?
I want a 29er in between the fuel and slash! Maybe 150mm on front and 140mm on rear...
I had an intense carbine that had 140mm rear and just got a slash 9.8. That extra 10mm isn't hurting anything. The slash is more efficient in almost every way.
@@KlintonSilvey nice man! I ride a 2018 fuel now have my eye on the slash 9.8 when the spring riding season comes around I'll probably get one, that British racing green looks amazing! I just hope it does climb as well as everyone says it does...
Wow an all matte black murdered out mountain bike. Like there aren't enough already. When is this gonna end?? haha
The 9.8 though comes in a super fun on wheels "Miami Green"! Trek plays safe on paint, but they're getting better. I just ordered the 9.8, going to put 2.8s on it, I'll try to do a review when it comes in!
Ive had the '14 650b remedy and the 16 29er remedy. Not sure if I want to go back to 27.5, but I dont know if the new remedy or slash can climb well enough on east coast trails, and I'm not sure i want to drop travel and go to fuel ex. Any insight?
Every video I see on new remedy or slash shows bombing down or hitting jumps or drops. Never tells how they climb up, if at all...and I'm used to remedy climbing like a goat.
Remedy 27.5er for life!!!
The little piggy back on the shock, only on the high end remedy’s, what are the benefits of that ?
Levy, just go all the way and get the face tat already!!!!
..... neck tat 1st as he needs to warm up to it.
I am a Trek fan and Remedy owner. I feel like there is a big hole in the lineup now. Where is the 27.5 bike between Fuel and Remedy?
Trek is sold on the 29ers unfortunately. Its a miracle they even sell the remedy lol
Could probably go for the plus version of the fuel and run 2.6/2.5 inch tires
I wonder if the rims could run 2.4 for the back? I would like 2.6 front and 2.4 rear.
@@chriswood9223 yeah a 2.4 would probably be fine on a 40mm rim. It may just inflate rather "square" shaped, and could end up having similiar rolling resistance to a 2.6. Would also have to be wary of the pretty low bb height.
Thanks. I had not even considered the bottom bracket height change.
The frame looks 95% like my Rocky Mountain Slayer. Same designer?
Niiice
Honestly, this isn't any more crazily priced than Specialized and Trek did something actually really impressive in terms of tech. Specialized Stumpjumper still looks and sounds like marketing bullshit.
SJ is also more of a longer travel weird trail bike thing though, I see what you mean. It's like a bastard child of enduro and trail bikes lol it doesn't really fit in anywhere.
Mr. Popo in the shop this bike is for people who want a big bike but don’t want 29ers
I demoed the 2019 SJ. I tried both the high and low chip setting. The low setting was definitely better, but the bike had a weird "bounding" feel to it like being on a slow speed trampoline. I tried an Expert Carbon too, so it wasn't one of the cheapy builds. I feel like if a rider wanted to play with the settings for a couple seasons they could dial it in, but all in all I didn't like the bike. Though if climbing is your most important consideration, it climbed extremely efficiently.
I can't have bike like this i can't dream for this i have an Walmart bike man and I will never have one of these monsters because my family are not rich so yea I loved it
Guess im lucky. Got trek zektor 3 for around 200$. And three days later back wheel detached and I broke my hand.
Very noyce!
What is the size of the bike in this video?
How much does slippers??
Did you say the reach is slightly shorter than last year?
Cam Wells good point. slacker HTA and steeper STA = shorter reach I presume.
Jean Boilard which is interesting, if I had one negative on the remedy , bit tight in the cockpit .
Reach is longer 461 : 459 on the large.
Matt Dudester that makes sense , thanks for that , cheers
nice house
Even with the geometry updates, the sizing is still just wrong. I can't stand how I hit the handlebars with my knees while taking a tight turn on a frame with a seat tube just barely short enough for me to ride it.
The guy is so off-put by having to step out from behind the marketing curtain and say what size wheels he likes.
Shandro seemed terrified to say which one he liked more.
they are both great bikes you know... you can throw them literally on any terrain and they'll handle it no probs
not saying they aren't, I've ridden both and they're great but everyone has their opinion on which one they like more. I like the slash a lot more than the remedy.
why its so quiet
Review the Fuel EX 9.8! Not finding anything on it, and Trek's shitty site has just one pic of all the bikes now, with poor resolution. At one point, they were using illustrations as placeholders on a few models.
enduromtb website...they just release their long term review
medium1025 medium 1025 Which would be the 2018 model, not 2019. All I could find on that site was the 2019 Fuel EX 8, which is quite a bit different than the 9.8, but thanks.
Those 2.6's actually look big enough to be 2.6", so i think that's a nice touch for 2019. I wasn't impressed with the RS rear shock on the 2018, so I am disappointing to see its still there in 2019. The 2018 had too much low speed compression, even in the fully unlocked setting. They also need to move away from using trek specific mounting hardware and stroke lengths. this seems like a very small improvement over the 2018, and the 2018 was only a small improvement over the 2017. I feel It's a great bike at a great price, but not that exciting.
Van Cuz yep agree. Will never buy a bike with stupid proprietary shock length/mounts and brand specific gimmicks like Reaktiv, Thru shaft etc. No thanks. Had a Scratch Air years ago but won’t look at Trek because of this stuff.
pretty sure its a metric sized shock meaning you can fit any shock on there you want. thru shaft and reactive only relate to the shock technology and don't affect mounting specifics
230x57.5 trunion mount shock size so it's a stupid proprietary sizing by Trek... standard metric trunion mount would be 205x60, 205x62.5 or 205x65... assuming with custom hardware you could fit a 230x60 non-trunion metric shock but it will change geo a bit.
hobmarg oh I see. I didn’t realize. I figured fox made like a dpx2 or something that would match right up
What wins? 2019 Trek Remedy 7 vs 2019 Scott genius 950
I'll just buy a wreckoning
This bike is very similar to the Canyon Torque. The diference is the shock absorber but the frame is almost equal
D M B not even close..
Looks like a Ses...oh wait. Hooray for Trunion, boo for not Kash-matching. Kash Transfer or Perf Elite fork. Match, dammit! No excuse for looking like ass at this price point.
Agtree 100%...I mean, not only that, but cross contaminating companies...shlda been a lyric up front for Fs sake! I agree, you pay this much for a bike and not have the kit match, looks like lazy hodge podged put together kit. Shame, tho aside from the balloon tires(serusly??), bike looks rad and fun as F!
“Decal” someone is an AvE fan
Isnt trek and giant the same kits?
I love this bike, too much money tho
trek
Bonjour, je mesure 1m70, quelle taille est faite pour moi ?
J ai eu le 17,5 et le 18,5 et j étais mieux dans le technique avec le plus petit mais très limité à haute vitesse
@@jean-pierrekenil5350 Et si vous devez acheter un nouveau? 17.5 ou 18.5? Je mesure 1m80 et hésite entre le ML(18.5) ou L(19.5). J'ai eu un Cube 20 inch mais le trouvais vraiment trop grand. On m'a dit que les Trek étaient plus petit que d'autres marques.
17 for sure
@@jean-pierrekenil5350 Merci! Que voulez vous dire par très limité à haute vitesse?
@@Excedorfine l amortisseur arrière étant tres charge pour mes 60 kg le vélo était tras instable passé une certaine vitesse....
👊👀👃👀👂✌
Giveaways😊
Slash is for over 50 years old dude
Remedy is for the under 40 year old who still want to rips
R.I.P full floater😪
150mm rear? Hahaha.. Hahaha
Acoi's Mountain Bike Network AMBN ?
kashima fork with a cheap-looking dropper? lol
I tried finding fault with the Bontrager dropper when I demoed a bunch of bikes this year, I am definitely a dropper diva, but I had a hard time finding fault. It actuates in a firm and stable manner that I really like and it isn't a scrotum launcher like the Command Post. If you see a Trek demo, give it a try.
Free advertising.
Damn nice bike but this shit cost 4 honda civic’s lol
lol just buy a mach 6 folks
Seems like he was saying this is a woman's bike.
Is slash 😖
This guy's tatoos do not suit him at all...
Ha ha was thinking the same
All people covered in tattoos look stupid to me. Especially women!
I live in Korea. There's been an explosion in tats here in the last year or so, especially among women (I'd say it's 3:1 in favour of women, who are probably the most narcissistic in the world). Many of them are fancy script slogans (in English) that are stupid, and practically illegible. But hey.....it's mandatory cool for millennials and post-millennials. Nobody will take you seriously if you don't have some ink. The number of tats goes up as IQ goes down.
Looks ugly
James McKay an astute observation lol
I refuse to pronounce your last name correctly.
it actually looks like the canyon torque but not to bad
it looks nothiung like the torque
Why the hell do they keep redesigning the rear suspension on mountain bikes? After 25 years you'd think they'd have figured it out.
still same as fuck.
27.5 no thanks
1qaz2wsxedc3 its much better when you ride ine bikepark
Dats cool, but it trek...
What?
Bro trek is the best
Trek consistently raises the bar.
EvanTTX your such a child.. a bikes a bike.
@@tomblack968 dude I live in fuckin america, i cant say what ever I fuck I want🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂
6th
Didn’t even need the guest all he did was say exactly the same thing as the host.
Don't put this guy on camera.
Yawn... not to mention that seat tube looks ridiculous
Nice always overpriced TREK bike...
Audio quality sucks. Wear a mic. Amateurs. Also don’t shoot in a cramped place...like next to a hot tub. Get professional.
Awful background 'music' too.
Trek is a really bad brand
You dont even have a trek
Why u holdin paper? Guy thinks hes special. Nice tats....not
mjs1231 chill wth
