The Slash 9.8 is a carbon enduro mountain bike that doesn't back down from hair-raising descents. It's built with an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and 170 mm 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. All topped off with a Shimano XT drivetrain for clean shifts.

You want a carbon enduro bike that's beastly on descents and nimble on climbs. You want the traction and stability of a high-pivot suspension, and long travel for soaking up deep roots and big drops. Upgrades matter to you, and you love the benefit of a wireless transmission and carbon wheels.

An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with high pivot suspension, plus internal storage. 170 mm of front and rear travel with a RockShox ZEB Select+ fork with DebonAir spring and Charger 3 RC2 damper, and RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock. Plenty of gears for the push back to the top with Shimano's XT drivetrain, a Bontrager Line Dropper and a MX wheel set-up with 29 in front and 27.5 in rear carbon Bontrager Line Elite 30 Tubeless Ready wheels with Rapid Drive hub.

For riders looking for carbon performance and a cherry-picked blend of component upgrades, the Slash 9.8 XT is ready to rip. It's built with 170 mm travel in the front and rear, upgraded suspension and drivetrain, plus carbon hoops, so you can climb light and descend hard.

    View All FAQ's
    How does the DASH Store work?

    At DASH, we've created a Cycle to Work enabled storefront which allows you to browse and order a range of items, all whilst benefitting from savings of 28-47%. The cost of items you order is split into 12 months and deducted from your gross (or pre-tax) salary, allowing you to save on income tax and national insurance contributions, which is called salary sacrifice. After 12 months, you'll be able to continue using your items at no extra cost.

    What items are available on DASH Store?

    We have a range of items, from bikes and e-bikes, to accessories (such as helmets and locks), bike parts and tools, clothing (including jackets, shorts, shoes, and everything in between), even pre-owned bikes. We work with a range of brands so there's sure to be something you like in stock.

    Can I use other Cycle to Work scheme vouchers on DASH Store?

    Since we are a Cycle to Work scheme ourselves, we cannot accept vouchers from other scheme providers. If you would like to use DASH and already have a voucher, it might be worth speaking to your employer to see if they are able to refund it.
