TREK SLASH+
With its 580WH battery and TQ HPR50 motor, the 2025 Trek Slash+ is up for more downs
Slash+ brings the quiet, natural-feeling assist of the TQ HPR50 system to the Slash’s long-travel, high-pivot platform with a new bigger battery for longer days on the roughest trails.
Built for riders who love the feel of a non-motorised bike, Trek has minimised range anxiety by combining the whisper-quiet TQ HPR50 motor with a new, bigger 580WH battery. A 160WH, bottle-cage mounted ranger extender is available for even bigger days out. The main battery is removable and compatible with the smaller 360WH battery if more weight savings are needed.
We’re excited to review the Trek Slash+, so look out for our thoughts and insights soon.
