Overview of components
Rear Shock
Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels size

Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Slash 7 27.5 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
Slash 7 27.5 comes in 5 sizes, that range from 154 cm – 196 cm (5.05 ft – 6.43 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
The Trek model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
