Slash 9.8 is a carbon enduro mountain bike built to handle big hits, rail corners and rip down the mountain faster than you ever thought possible.
Ultra stiff and ultra tough carbon frame, advanced suspension tech and lightning-fast SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless electronic shifting make this long-travel 29er a worthy contender for any dedicated rider and enduro podium.
The RockShox ZEB fork's bigger 38 mm stanchions help you stay on your line through the chunky stuff, while the updated damper lets you dial in the feel
The SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain is smart, smooth and completely wireless.
We added a second down tube guard to better protect your frame from shuttle-related damage.
Wider seat tube, wider dropper – the 34.9 mm diameter post is stronger, more durable, and moves up and down faster.
A large internal storage compartment in the down tube lets you stow tools and gear.
