Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type is a carbon enduro mountain bike that doesnt back down from hair-raising descents. Its 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.

• Its high-pivot suspension gives you insane control for hairy descents, while carefully tuned anti-squat and oversized pulleys make pedaling astonishingly efficient
• The long, 170mm/170mm front and rear travel is more than enough for stomping big jumps and cleaning rock gardens
• OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and wheels keep your ride light, stiff in all the right places, and smooth and quiet through the chunder
• It comes ready to roll with a mixed wheel setup that gives you a fast-rolling 29in front hoop and stiff, yet nimble 27.5in rear wheel, and can be set up as a 29er for more speed
• You can tweak Slash for how and where you ride with an adjustable leverage rate, bolt-on lower shock mount for swapping to full 29er, and adjustable-angle headset (sold separately)

High-pivot suspension

Slashs high main pivot allows the axle to move rearward as the suspension compresses, so the back wheel moves with the force from bumps and gets out of the way faster. On the trail, it feels ultra-smooth while maintaining more momentum with insane traction.

Curb the kickback

Slashs oversized upper idler not only eliminates the pedal kickback caused by high pivot, but its size and position also give you just the right amount of anti-squat for efficient pedaling. The lower idler takes chain tension off the derailleur so you get smoother shifting and suspension performance.

Mixed wheel size

You get a 29″ front wheel for monster truckin over stuff, with a smaller 27.5″ wheel out back for getting rowdy. Want full 29er speed? Just swap the lower shock mount (sold separately) to lower BB height for running a faster wheel out back.

Improved internal storage

Slashs storage door is bigger, easier to use, and the plastic parts are all made from recycled materials.

Adjust the suss for full send

Adjust leverage rate with just a flip of a chip. Ride it in the Less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails with square-edge bumps. Flip it to More progressive when youre hitting big features and dont want to bottom-out, or when you want to run a coil shock.

Slack or steep, the choice is yours

Install angle adjust headset cups (sold separately) to tweak the head tube angle a degree steeper or slacker to your liking all without impacting your bottom bracket height.
