Trek Slash 8 XT Bike (2024)

Trek Slash 8 XT mountain bike from 2024, blue. Trek manufacturer reference: 5302817.

The Slash 8 is an enduro mountain bike designed to push the go button again and again. It's built on a high-pivot platform with 170mm of front and rear travel that increases traction on harder climbing stages and keeps stability top of mind when pointed straight down. A mixed setup with a 29” front wheel and a 27.5” rear wheel makes riding fun, and it comes equipped with a Shimano XT drivetrain for clean shifts no matter where you go.
