DESCRIPTION
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.
You want a carbon enduro bike that's beastly on descents and nimble on climbs. You want the traction and stability of a high-pivot suspension, and long travel for soaking up deep roots and big drops. Upgrades matter to you, and you want the benefit of Shimano's new wireless XT Di2 drivetrain that shifts clean even during punchy climbs.
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with high pivot suspension, plus internal storage. 170 mm of front and rear travel with a RockShox ZEB Select+ fork with DebonAir spring and Charger 3 RC2 damper, and RockShox Vivid Select+ shock. Plenty of gears for the push back to the top with Shimano's all-new XT Di2 wireless drivetrain, a Bontrager Line Dropper and a MX wheel set up with 29˝ front and 27.5˝ rear Bontrager Line Comp 30 Tubeless Ready wheels with Rapid Drive 108 hub.
For riders looking for carbon performance and a cherry-picked blend of component upgrades, Slash 9.8 XT is ready to rip. It's built with 170 mm travel in the front and rear, plus an upgraded suspension package and all-new Shimano XT Di2 wireless drivetrain for ripping hard.
You get upgrades that really matter, like Shimano's new XT Di2 wireless drivetrain that's insanely robust and precise, and a RockShox suspension package
Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedalling astonishingly efficient
The long, 170 mm/170 mm front and rear travel is more than enough for stomping big jumps and cleaning rock gardens
The OCLV Mountain Carbon frame keeps 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 set-up that gives you a fast-rolling 29˝ front hoop and stiff, yet nimble 27.5˝ rear wheel, and can be set up as a 29er for more speed
