Slash 9.7 pairs fast-rolling 29er mountain bike wheels with long travel suspension to make one speed-hungry rig that's perfectly suited to both rowdy trail rides and enduro races. A full carbon frame, killer suspension package, and a solid component spec means you're getting awesome performance at a ridiculous value, too.

The tech you get

A full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with Mino Link adjustable geometry, a 170mm FOX Rhythm 36 Float EVOL fork with GRIP damper, and 160mm of rear travel with a FOX Performance Float X shock that offers loads of adjustability and tuning options. Plus, a Shimano SLX/XT 1x12 drivetrain, 4-piston hydraulic brakes, and Line Comp 30 wheels, already set up completely tubeless ready, including sealant.

Why you'll love it

1. You’ll fade before the FOX Performance Float X shock does—it's built to help you squeeze the most out of long, gnarly descents
2. New, removable Knock Block has a bigger steering angle to keep cables and hoses safe without sacrificing turning radius
3. A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear
4. We added a second down tube guard to better protect your frame from shuttle-related damage
5. Wider seat tube, wider dropper—the 34.9mm diameter post is stronger, more durable, and moves up and down faster
