Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type Gen 6
SKU5303130
Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type 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 170mm high-pivot suspension for gobbling up boulders and keeping traction on-point for wall rides and punchy climbs. A 29˝ front and 27.5˝ rear wheel keep handling playful, and an upgraded RockShox suspension package holds up to anything you can throw at it. Plus, it comes equipped with a wireless SRAM GX AXS transmission that keeps shifts on-point, even under load.
OVERVIEW
It's right for you if...
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 love the benefit of a wireless transmission and carbon wheels.
The tech you get
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with high pivot suspension and idler pulley, plus internal storage. 170mm 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 punchy climbs with SRAM's wireless GX AXS transmission, a Bontrager Line Dropper, and a MX wheel setup with 29in front and 27.5in rear carbon Bontrager Line Elite 30 Tubeless Ready wheels with Rapid Drive hub.
The final word
For riders looking for carbon performance and a cherry-picked blend of component upgrades, Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type is ready to rip. It's built with 170mm travel in the front and rear, upgraded suspension and drivetrain, plus carbon hoops, so you can climb light and descend hard.
