Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Upon receiving your Trek Slash+ 9.7, it's recommended to have it assembled and inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Key setup steps include proper torquing of all bolts, setting tire pressures, adjusting suspension sag, and ensuring the battery is fully charged. The bike is compatible with standard tubeless tire setups, and riders may wish to install their preferred pedals.
Compatibility: The bike uses standard mountain bike component standards for most parts, including wheel sizes and brake mounts. The TQ HPR50 system has its own specific charging port and interface. Consult the owner's manual for specific electronic component compatibility details.
Care: Regularly clean the bike after rides, especially the drivetrain and suspension components, using mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bearings or the motor housing. Ensure the battery is stored in a cool, dry place and charged periodically if not in regular use. Periodically check tire pressure and inspect brake pads for wear. Refer to the TQ system manual for specific care instructions related to the motor and battery.
