Overview
It's right for you if...
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 want the benefit of a wireless transmission that shifts clean even during punchy climbs.
The tech you get
An OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with high pivot suspension, plus internal storage. 170mm of front and rear travel with a RockShox ZEB Select+ fork with DebonAir spring and Charger 3 RC2 damper, and RockShox Vivid 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 setup with 29in front and 27.5in rear Bontrager Line Comp 30 Tubeless Ready wheels with Rapid Drive 108 hub.
The final word
For riders looking for carbon performance and a cherry-picked blend of component upgrades, Slash 9.8 XT is ready to rip. It's built with 170mm travel in the front and rear, upgraded suspension and drivetrain for ripping hard

Alright, listen up, fellow shredders! I was skeptical at first, but the Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 has completely blown me away. I've been hitting trails I never thought possible, and my confidence has skyrocketed. The components are top-notch, the geometry is spot-on, and the overall feel is just...chef's kiss. If you're on the fence, just do it. You won't regret it. This thing is a freakin' game-changer! Seriously, I feel like I've unlocked a new level of mountain biking. My friends are all jealous, haha!

Just took my Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 out for a spin on some serious trails. This bike is an absolute beast! Climbs like a goat, descends like a rocket. Seriously considering naming it 'The Shredder'.

Okay, wow. I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but the Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 is next level. The suspension feels like butter, and it just eats up the rough stuff. My old bike feels like a dinosaur now. Totally worth the investment. Time to send it!
