Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type Gen 6
Details
Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type 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 170mm high-pivot suspension for gobbling up boulders and keeping traction on-point for wall rides and punchy climbs. A 29" front and 27.5-inch rear wheel keep handling playful, and an upgraded RockShox suspension package holds up to anything you can throw at it. Plus, it comes equipped with a wireless SRAM GX AXS transmission that keeps shifts on-point, even under load.
- Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedaling astonishingly efficient
- The long, 170mm/170mm front and rear travel is more than enough for stomping big jumps and cleaning rock gardens
- OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and wheels keep your ride light, stiff in all the right places, and smooth and quiet through the chunder
- It comes ready to roll with a mixed wheel setup that gives you a fast-rolling 29-inch front -hoop and a stiff, yet nimble 27.5-inch rear wheel, and it can be set up as a 29er for more speed
- You can tweak Slash for how and where you ride with Mino Link, adjustable leverage rate, and add an adjustable-angle headset (not included)
