The 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 170 mm or front and rear travel that boosts traction for punchy climb stages and keeps stability a priority when you point it straight down. A mixed set-up with a 29˝ front and 27.5˝ rear wheel keep handling playful, and it comes equipped with a Shimano XT drivetrain for clean shifts no matter where you ride.

Key Features

• Internal Frame Storage: Keep your riding essentials handy at all times with no riding pack.
• Long 170 mm/170 mm Front and Rear Travel: More than enough for stomping big jumps and cleaning rock gardens
• 12-Speed XT Drivetrain: Winch the steepest climbs and shred the next descent.
