trek fuel lx compared to gen 5 slash
hey, so contex is i had a gen 5 slash9.8 that i was in love with i have always owned trek from my first bike to my most recent one and the one time i got something that wasnt a trek i sold it go back to trek, i even started working at a shop that sells trek. Good things come to an end as it did snap behind the rear shock so trek did end up sending me a gen 6 as warranty but i really dont like it. there is a long list of things i dont like about it but it feels nothing like the gen 5. i know they cant pull a gen 5 out of thin air but i was really dissapointed with the replacment and i am looking to sell it and get a complete fuel lx. my main question was does it feel like a capable enduro bike maybe even close to the gen5 slash? i dont know anyone who has one so any imput is much appriciated thank you in advanced
