Trek Slash 9.8 - 2017, Medium
The 2017 Trek Slash 9.8 is a legendary enduro machine that helped define the category, built for high-speed stability and aggressive trail charging. This size Medium rig features a lightweight, ultra-stiff OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and is equipped with a high-performance suspension duo: a 160mm Fox 36 Performance fork and an upgraded Fox Factory Float X rear shock. For maximum control on technical descents, it has been outfitted with powerful Magura Trail hydraulic brakes and a wide-range SRAM 1x12 drivetrain. Weighing in at an impressive 28.8 lbs, this Slash balances a lightweight build with the "send-it" attitude Trek is famous for, arriving professionally inspected and 100% ready to hit the park or your local technical trails.
Why We Love It
Ā * Enduro Heritage: The Slash 9.8 was designed to win EWS races; its geometry is legendary for keeping the bike stable at speeds that would make other bikes feel twitchy.
Ā * Suspension Synergy: Pairing the stiff Fox 36 chassis with the premium Fox Factory Float X rear shock provides a "bottomless" feel on big hits while maintaining excellent mid-stroke support for cornering.
Ā * Upgraded Braking Power: The Magura Trail brakes offer exceptional modulation and four-piston stopping power, giving you the confidence to brake later and go faster.
Ā * Exceptional Weight for the Category: At under 29 lbs, this is an incredibly light enduro bike, making the climbs back to the top of the trailhead much less of a chore than on modern, heavier alternatives.
