Trek Slash 9.8 XT Bicycle (2023)

The Slash 9.8 is a carbon enduro bike capable of soaking up big hits, turning tight corners with precision, and coming down the mountain much faster than you imagined. An extremely stiff and robust carbon frame, carbon wheels and RockShox's most advanced suspension technology make this long-travel 29er ideal for any rider who wants to climb to the top of the podium in enduro competition.
