"2017 Mountain Bike of the Year"

Trek bikes have been getting good recognition for 2017 and for good reason. Everyone has their opinion about the different bike brands out there. As for Trek, I believe you can't bash it until you have actually ridden it. Out of all the bikes I have ridden, these bikes are by far the best handling. Don't just take my word for it, look at what others are saying:

Trek Slash 2017 Bike of the Year

Pinkbike's Take

The Slash's blistering speed and downhill wizardry helped propel it to the front of the pack in the battle for Mountain Bike of the Year, along with the fact that it's a sign of the future in both the enduro and the DH race worlds. There's no doubt that 29ers have left their awkward adolescent stage far behind, and in 2017 it was the Slash that epitomized just how capable they've become.

The Bike of the Year 2017 is… Trek Fuel Ex 7

Highs: Fun, fast and flash
Lows: None come to mind

Verdict: The sheer pace of the Fuel EX 7 29 throws petrol on the heated wheel size debate and then fans the flames. But the Fuel EX 29 isn’t simply a fire starter. There’s a subtlety to the ride quality of the new Fuel EX 29 that lets you dance up or down every trail at a scorching pace. The fact that it looks red hot only boosts it appeal further. Sure, we’ve criticized the Plus version of the Fuel EX for being too expensive compared to the competition, the Fuel EX 7 29 however is right on the money, both in terms of value and performance.
