Trek Slash 8 XT 2024 Mountain Bike

About the Slash 8 Gen 6

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

• Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedalling astonishingly efficient


• The long, 170 mm/170 mm 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 set-up that gives you a fast-rolling 29 in front hoop and stiff, yet nimble 27.5 in rear wheel, and can be set up as a 29er for more speed


• Internal storage gives you a spot to stash tools and snacks, and it's available on all models
