2018 Trek slash 29 9.8 (19.5)

I love this bike!!! But with my busy school schedule it doesn't make much sense to keep it couped up in my basement.

I started full time school lately and have no time to ride. when I am ready to get another bike I will most likely be getting this bike again.

I love the bontrager wheels with the rapid drive hub, some may think it's a bit noisy, but it is nothing compared to e-thirteen hubs.

The newly designed tread pattern of the XR4's have a much better all-mountain tread pattern. I used to wash out on my front wheel with the old tread pattern, but these keep me right where I want to be. Rolls amazing and grips so well. If you want better grip i'm sure the maxxis DHF's would be a great choice, but they would not roll as well.

The slack angle is perfect for enduro type riding.

I love the suspension setup. by far the easiest setup I've ever had, and so buttery smooth.

GX eagle is so nice!! rear der has a small scratch from when I fell over at slow speed after trying to get out of some unfamiliar crank brothers pedals.

other reviews will be much more helpful as I just haven't put enough miles on this bike to give a good review. see link(s) below for info on the bike.
