Detail
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

Just took my new Slash 9.8 XT Gen 6 out for a spin on the trails and wow! This hardtail is seriously amazing. The handling is super responsive, and I felt so confident tackling some pretty technical sections. Definitely worth the investment!
