Other JUST DROPPED: All-new Slash+ e-MTB

Ok and the battery in that whole scenario?

Friendly reminder, Trek slash+ 9.7 is already 8k ... and I agree that the specs are not excellent. There is no in between unfortunately as the next 9.9 is 12k wth.

Would like a grip2 on that one, that and there is absolutely no stock out there, my trek LBS has zero slash/slash-plus for this year and year+ unfortunately.

Went down from 100% to 40%. Eventually did another climb and finished with 1550m of climbs going 90% on turbo and 6% battery left

btw the overheat you mentioned is also similar to the rocky mountain but my guess was that the Rocket is way more powerful or am I wrong?

I normally ride Kenevo SL 1.1 which continuously delivers 290W of power on Turbo. Was thinking to switch to Trek for the bigger built-in battery but now have a lot of doubts.

I would not sleep if I didn't do this comparison immediately. Same conditions, same ascents. On Kenevo SL 1.1 + extender (480wh) I did today 1450m of climbs with 11% battery left. 100% on Turbo i.e. ~290w. I probably would do the same ascents as on Slash but it got dark and Spec was not cutting down the power to 200w like Trek did duet to overheating.

Old Kenevo SL would do the same meters up with 480wh vs. 580wh on Trek.
It doesn't overheat even at 500m climbs whereas Trek cut down the power from 200m up.
