Slash 8 is an enduro mountain bike thats built for pressing the send button again and again. Its built on a high-pivot platform with 170mm 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 setup 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.

• 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
• 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)
• Internal storage gives you a spot to stash tools and snacks, and its available on all models

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

Slash+s oversized upper idler not only eliminates pedal kickback caused by high pivot suspension, but its size and position also give you just the right amount of anti-squat for efficient pedaling. The integrated lower chain guide 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.

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.

TQ-HPR50 small, quiet, mighty

The TQ-HPR50 motor is super-efficient with an amazing power-to-weight ratio. Most motors use gears and belts that take up space and can make noise or break. The TQ-HPR50 uses a harmonic pin-ring drive transmission thats small, ultra-quiet and unbelievably natural-feeling.
