2019 Trek Slash 9.9 - 19.5 (L) - Custom Build / New Frame

I originally built up the Slash in the summer of 2017, but then Trek replaced the frame under warranty in the fall of 2018. The condition of the bike is accurately represented in the photos - the 9.9 frame is near perfect having seen minimal miles since being replaced. There are some scuffs/marks on the lowers of the fork (stanchions are perfect) and on the cranks. I’ve detailed these as best I can in the photos - the damage is purely superficial. All other components are in top notch shape, although the Maxxis Shorty in the rear will need replacing here soon.

The Slash has been regularly maintained by Progression Cycles in Issaquah, WA for the duration of its life. It’s most recent service was just last month in preparation for this sale, and included a full rebuild of the X2. The bike performs flawlessly and runs silently - no mystery squeaks or rattles.

Note that the bike will ship with 2 shocks: the X2 pictured on the bike and also the Rockshox Deluxe RT3 Thru Shaft that came with the warrantied frame. This Rockshox has never been used.

Spec highlights include a Vorsprung Luftkappe installed on the Fox 36 RC2, E13 carbon rims mated to Onyx hubs, Cushcore insert in the rear wheel, Bikeyoke revive 160mm, SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes, Fabric Carbon Scoop Saddle, and Renthal 35mm bars.

The full parts list is shown below:

- Slash 9.9 Frameset (new as of fall 2018 - note 9.9 has a full carbon rear triangle)
- All Mountain Style down tube protector
- Fox 36 160mm fork RC2 with Vorsprung Luftkappe
- Fox X2 Factory 150mm
- Rockshox Deluxe RT3 Thru Shaft 150mm
- E13 TRS carbon rims (28mm internal / 32 spokes / brass nipples)
- Onyx hubs front and rear with full ceramic bearings
- Cushcore insert in the rear wheel
- Guide Ultimate brakes (carbon leavers) with metal pads front and rear
- X01 full drivetrain with 170mm cranks
- Bikeyoke Revive dropper 160mm
- Fabric Scoop Carbon saddle
- Renthal Fatbar 35s - 20mm rise aluminum bars (780mm)
- Bontrager Line forged 50mm stem
- Oury lock on grips
- Maxxis Shorty 2.5s 3C EXO casing front & rear

Extras:
- Mech hanger
- Rocker link and full carbon rear triangle from original frame (together with spare pivot bolts etc.)
- Knockblock headset lock rink (acts as 10mm spacer and allows to run non-knockblock stems)

I’m sad to see this go - hands down it’s been the best bike I’ve owned to date. Let me know if you have any questions. Bike is located in Seattle and all inspections are welcome - preference would be to sell locally. Price is $3950 + actual cost of packing/shipping. Sorry, not looking for any trades. The bike is priced to sell - this is a great deal for someone!
