The Trek Slash 9.8 XT excels at racing enduro, but it's ridiculously fun on gnarly trail rides too. 29 inch wheels have more grip and roll across rougher ground more quickly than the 27.5 inch wheels on other bikes. A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear. Trek added a second down tube guard to better protect your frame from shuttle-related damage. The new removable knock block has a bigger steering angle to keep cables and hoses safe without sacrificing turning radius. Trek have left no stone unturned in their goal of creating the ultimate Enduro race bike in the new 2023 Slash.
