2024 Trek Bicycle Slash 8 Gen 6 S (27.5" wheel) - Neutral - Matching

Slash 8 is an enduro mountain bike that's built for pressing the send button again and again. It's built on a high-pivot platform with 170mm for 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.

Features may include:

• High-pivot suspension

Slash's 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.

• Improved internal storage

Slash's storage door is bigger, easier to use, and the plastic parts are all made from recycled materials.

• 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 you're hitting big features and don’t 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.

• Size-specific chainstays

Size-specific chainstays provide balanced handling to keep the ride nimble for smaller riders and improve front wheel traction on climbs for taller riders.

• Quiet and protected

A meticulously engineered chainstay guard reduces chain movement for a blissfully quiet ride while the removable downtube guards fend off rock strikes.

• Shimano XT

Shimano XT is the original mountain bike groupset and trusted by generations of mountain bikers around the world. Whatever the trail, wherever you ride, XT is your solution for mountain biking today. Reliable shifting. Superior braking. Intuitive maintenance. XT is the high performance workhorse you can count on.

• Don’t forget your pedals

This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you’ll have a better time on your new bike if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style. We recommend clipless road pedals for control and efficiency.
