The Trek Slash is a new mountain bike model that features a high pivot 4-bar layout and is designed for pedal-access descent-focused riding. With adjustable features and a versatile geometry, the Slash climbs comfortably and consistently while offering excellent support and grip on descents. The bike's suspension provides a predictable and balanced ride, making it capable in challenging terrain. However, some riders may find the chassis to be too stiff, and there were initial issues with chain drop due to improper installation of the lower idler. Overall, the Trek Slash is a capable and well-designed mountain bike.

Forbidden has launched the Druid V2, a new version of its 130mm-travel, high-pivot trail bike. The new bike has undergone a fair few changes, with a new frame, tweaked geometry, and suspension kinematics. The Trifecta suspension and One Ride sizing have been carried over from the previous model. The Druid V2 is available in four sizes (S1-S4), all of which feature Forbidden’s One Ride size-specific geometry. The aim of all this is to produce a “trail bike that punches way above bikes with more [travel]”.
