A sleek, frame-integrated storage compartment allows you to carry tools and gear. We've added a second downtube protector for added frame protection against damage during shuttle transport. The Slash feels equally at home between barrier tape and in the rugged wilderness—this bike was built for enduro racing but delivers plenty of fun on rough trails. - A new, removable Knock Block allows for a wider head angle and protects cables and housings without restricting the turning radius. - The thicker 34.9 mm diameter dropper seatpost is stronger and more durable, and extends and lowers faster. Integrated storage compartment: Thanks to the integrated storage compartment, you can leave your backpack at home without sacrificing the essentials for your ride.

Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to fine-tune how the suspension reacts independently to acceleration and braking forces. This gives you more confidence in critical situations.

Complete frame protection: Replaceable downtube protectors shield your downtube from rocks, dirt, and sharp-edged shuttle vehicles, so you don't have to worry about damage and can focus entirely on your next run. Rapid Drive 54 rear hub: With 54 engagement points, the Rapid Drive guarantees instant acceleration, eliminating any hesitation when you start pedaling. Thanks to the lag-free power transfer, you can accelerate out of corners at full throttle and hammer through rough terrain. This high engagement point count provides extra control, which can make all the difference on tough climbs. Almost forgot the pedals: This bike is shipped without pedals because you'll have more fun choosing pedals that suit your individual needs.
