Trek Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 29

The Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6

The Slash 9.8 is a carbon enduro bike that doesn't shy away from hair-raising downhills. Its frame made of OCLV Mountain Carbon and the chassis with a high pivot point and 170 mm travel take even big chunks unfazed and shine on steep ramps and difficult climbs with brilliant traction. The mullet setup with a 29er front wheel and 27.5er rear wheel promises playful handling, while the powerful chassis package from RockShox masters every trail situation with ease. And to top it all off, thanks to the Shimano XT gears, you can enjoy crisp, clean gear changes - no matter where you are.

It is the right bike for you if …

... you want a carbon enduro bike that shows its teeth on downhills and impresses with its agility on uphills. You also want the traction and stability of a high-pivot chassis and plenty of suspension travel to handle thick roots and big jumps. High-quality components are important to you and you want to benefit from the many advantages of a wireless gear system that shifts cleanly through the gears even on tough climbs.

highlights

• Its high-pivot chassis offers absolute control on challenging descents, while finely tuned anti-squat values and the oversized pulleys ensure amazingly efficient propulsion.
• The long-stroke suspension travel (170 mm front and rear) is more than sufficient for big jumps and rough rock fields.
• The lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame makes the bike light and stiff in all the right places so you can plow through the toughest terrain smoothly and confidently.
• The bike is equipped with a mullet wheel configuration from the factory. This means a fast-rolling 29er front wheel is combined with a stiff, agile 27.5 inch rear wheel. Alternatively, a 29 inch rear wheel can be mounted for more speed.
• Thanks to the adjustable lever ratio, screwed lower shock mount for switching to a complete 29er setup and separately available angle-adjustable headset, the Slash can be adapted to your terrain and riding style.
