Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type Gen 6 MTB Bike

It is ideal for you if...

You want a carbon enduro bike that is beastly on the descents and agile on the climbs. You want the traction and stability of a high-pivot suspension, and long travel to soak up deep roots and big drop-offs. Upgrades are important to you, and you love the benefits of a wireless drivetrain and carbon wheels.

Features

Its high-pivot suspension gives you amazing control for hairy descents, while the carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedaling amazingly efficient.

The long front and rear travel of 170mm/170mm is more than enough to stomp on big jumps and overcome rock gardens.

The OCLV Mountain carbon frame and wheels maintain lightness, rigidity, smoothness and silence throughout the ride.

It comes ready to ride with a mixed wheel setup that gives you a fast-rolling 29" front rim and a stiff but agile 27.5" rear wheel, and can be configured as a 29er for more speed.

You can adapt the Slash depending on how you ride and the places you usually ride with adjustable suspension progression, the bolt-on lower suspension bracket that allows you to turn it into a true 29er, and with the adjustable steering angle (of sold separately).
