Details
Why you'll love it
1. Slash 9.8 is like a mini DH bike: it has the capability of a downhill bike without the downhill weight
2. RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better and keeps you in control
3. It's equally at home between the tape and in the rugged wild—Yes, Slash is a race bike, but it's ridiculously fun on gnarly trail rides, too
4. We're not the only ones who love it: Slash was awarded Mountain Bike of the Year by Pinkbike
