Product Overview
Slash 8 is an enduro mountain bike that's built for pressing the send button again and again. It's built on a high-pivot platform with 170mm of front and rear travel that boosts traction for punchy climb stages and keeps stability a priority when you point it straight down. A mixed setup with a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheel keeps handling playful, and it comes equipped with a Shimano XT drivetrain for clean shifts no matter where you ride.
- 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
- 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)
- Internal storage gives you a spot to stash tools and snacks, and it's available on all models
