It’s so perfect for you
You're in the market for a substantial bike with large wheels, ready to conquer formidable obstacles and tackle hefty jumps. While you might consider entering some enduro races, your primary goal is to dominate sketchy descents, outpacing everyone else in your crew.
The technology you get
Crafted to withstand rugged terrain, the aluminum frame of this bike features a threaded bottom bracket, dual downtube guards, and Knock Block 2.0 technology. It boasts 160mm of rear travel with a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock for enduring long descents, complemented by a 170mm RockShox ZEB Select fork. Additionally, it's equipped with a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain featuring an extra-low 52-tooth gear, Code R 4-piston brakes, and fully tubeless Line Comp 30 wheels.

Why you’ll love it!
An integrated internal storage compartment provides a versatile space to securely store tools and gear, keeping them easily accessible whenever you need them. We've included a second downtube guard to offer enhanced protection for your frame against any damage that may occur during shuttle rides. The Slash is a racing bike that's just as fun tearing through the tape as it is conquering rugged trails. The new removable Knock Block allows for a larger steering angle, ensuring the safety of cables and hoses while maintaining an optimal turning radius. With a wider seat tube and dropper, the 34.9mm diameter post is not only stronger and more durable, but it also moves up and down faster for enhanced performance.
The Walkthrough
Internal Storage
Extra capacity storage allows you to avoid the pack while carrying the essentials during your ride.
Active Braking Pivot
The Active Braking Pivot helps our engineers to separately adjust how the suspension responds to acceleration and braking forces. It means you'll have more confident control when you need it.
Rapid Drive 54 rear hub
Instead of a painful lag when you press the pedals, Fast Drive provides almost instant speed. You quickly and smoothly gain power to round corners. Also, the additional pedal ratchet provides control, which might be crucial when tackling a difficult climb.
Suspension calculator
To get the maximum performance out of your mountain bike, proper suspension set-up is important. It just takes a few minutes to get your suspension tuned up.
Complete tubeless system
Before installing a tubeless setup, make sure your wheels and tires are ready to remove the rim strips and tires, Bontrager TLR rim strips enable a firmer bead lock with the tire and a more straightforward installation process overall.
Oversized 34.9mm dropper post
The oversized diameter of the seat tube provides more stability and strength during longer rides and enables the use of more robust, faster-working internals.
Knock block
When things go awry, the knock block has your frame's back. It stops your handlebars from spinning completely around in an accident, protecting your hoses, and preventing control strikes to the top tube.
Threaded bottom bracket
Slash 8 bike is designed for the most difficult riding in the roughest conditions, featuring a more robust bottom bracket than press fit.
