The Slash 9.8 is a carbon enduro mountain bike that doesn't back down from hair-raising descents. It's built with an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and 170 mm high-pivot suspension for gobbling up boulders and keeping traction on point on wall rides and punchy climbs. A 29˝ front and 27.5˝ rear wheel keep handling playful, while an upgraded RockShox suspension package holds up to anything you can throw at it. To top it all off, you get ultra-smooth and fast shifts from a 12-speed Shimano XT Di2 wireless drivetrain.
