Trek Slash 9.8 XT Di2 Gen 6
The Trek Slash 9.8 XT Di2 Gen 6 is a serious carbon enduro mountain bike built for steep descents, rough terrain and big days on the trail. With a lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, 170mm high-pivot suspension and mixed wheel setup, the Slash is made to stay composed when the trail gets rowdy while still keeping the bike playful and responsive.
This 2026 model steps things up with Shimano XT Di2 wireless 12-speed shifting, RockShox ZEB Select+ fork, RockShox Vivid Select+ rear shock and powerful Shimano XT 4-piston brakes. It is a bike designed for riders who want confidence on demanding descents, grip through rough sections and enough efficiency to climb back up for another lap.
