Hi Jeff. Since you also spent some time on the Trek Slash 29, this might be the question for you. I am currently riding 2019 Trek Slash 8 alu 29 in XL size. I like to ride steep technical stuff her in Europe (think the blacks in Finale Ligure) , high alpine riding as well as fast flowier riding during the winter.
