Slash 9.8 XT Di2 Gen 6
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.
Technology
High-pivot suspension - The Slash's high main pivot allows the axle to move rearward as the suspension compresses, so the back wheel moves with the force from bumps and gets out of the way faster. On the trail, it feels ultra-smooth while maintaining more momentum with insane traction.
