Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type Gen 6 – Carbon Enduro MTB 2025

Description

The Carbon Gravity Specialist: Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS T-Type Gen 6 (2025)

The Trek Slash 9.8 GX AXS Gen 6 is engineered for riders who demand maximum composure on the world’s most punishing trails. Built with Trek’s premier OCLV Mountain Carbon, this chassis is significantly lighter and stiffer than its alloy counterparts. The high-pivot suspension layout is the star of the show, providing a rearward axle path that allows the bike to carry massive momentum through rock gardens and technical sections by moving “with” the impact rather than hanging up.

This build features the SRAM GX Eagle Transmission (T-Type), a wireless, hangerless system that mounts directly to the bike’s axle. This design is robust enough to shift under full power, ensuring you never miss a gear during a critical race stage. Configured as a Mullet (MX) setup, the Slash 9.8 utilizes a 29-inch front wheel for rollover and a 27.5-inch rear wheel for snappy handling and extra clearance on steep chutes.

High-Pivot Capability & Carbon Integration

The Slash 9.8 GX AXS is equipped with 170mm of travel, managed by the RockShox ZEB Select+ fork and Vivid Select+ rear shock, delivering elite-level damping and tunability. The integrated idler pulley eliminates pedal kickback, ensuring the suspension remains active and neutral while pedaling. With Internal Frame Storage, OCLV Carbon wheels, and a wireless AXS dropper post, this carbon high-pivot enduro MTB is ready to dominate any EWS course.
