Trek Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 Bike 2025 Carbon Red Smoke
Trek Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 combines an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with a 170mm high-pivot suspension to deliver confident control on demanding enduro terrain. The mixed wheel setup—29" front and 27.5" rear—balances rollover speed with agile handling, while the RockShox ZEB Select+ fork and Vivid Select+ shock offer refined damping for aggressive riding. Shimano XT 12-speed components ensure precise shifting under load, backed by powerful 4-piston brakes and an enduro-tuned cockpit.
