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.
