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. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/mountain-bikes/trail-mountain-bikes/slash/slash-9-8/p/1193600-2018/?colorCode=black_orange https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Bikes,3/Trek/Slash-9-8,19230

check out this pinkbike review of the 2015 model. only difference from 2015-16 is the color. enjoy: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/trek-slash-98-review-2014.html Just in time for resort riding!! I have loved this bike. On the down hill she rides like a downhill bike but still has plenty of pedaling capability. With the ability to dial the fork down to 130mm and swapping the mino link makes this the ultimate quiver bike. This bike is shop owned and well maintained. I would say this bike is in excellent condition with the only negative being minor flaws in the paint in areas you would expect. I definitely never came close to reaching the potential of this bike in regards to large jumps and techy features. This bike is all stock except the grips (lizard skin northshores) and the extra mavic crossmax enduro wheel set. I also have bontrager se5 tires front and rear with 2 xr4's and one se2 tires included with the bike. Full asking for bike, extra wheels, and additional tires is $3350. Just the bike as is im asking $3000 as listed. Prefer local pickup, but I've shipped bikes and other things before so I'm sure we could arrange something. Also bike would be professionally boxed if not purchased locally.

I've loved this bike so much. I'm selling because I am contemplating surgery on my knee for an old injury that won't leave me alone and this bike makes me want to do things that put that knee at risk. I've ridden this bike just about a dozen times maybe less and never had a significant crash other than sliding off the trail one or two times. All cosmetic damage was caused by a bike rack and is minimal. here's the deets. - frame: aluminum with integrated chain guide and 3 settings for rear travel (estimated 7.5", 8.5", 9.5" travel. My most comfortable position was the middle) - rear shock: cane creek double barrel coil. Awesome shock. I have 2 springs for different rider weights(250 and 500). - fork: Rock shox boxer World Cup. High speed/low speed compression, rebound, bottom out, and air compression. Serviced before I bought with less than 25 hours of personal use. Custom lowers by Troy Lee designs(super pretty and unique) - derailleur and shifters are sram and recently replaced cable and housing. Shifting is smooth and plenty of life in the drive train. - cassette: 10 speed road cassette - brakes: brand new shimano zee brakes - handle bar: renthal (780 wide) - grips: brand new lizard skin north shore - ZTR flow rims with hope hubs. Super strong rims. great hubs. - maxis minion DHF 2.5 rear 2.7 front. - pedals negotiable upon price. - seat and post still in great condition. Keep in mind canfields run big. I'm 5' 10" and usually ride a large but this medium is just right. Contact me with any questions and if you want additional pics etc. Buyer pays all shipping costs. Make me an offer I can't refuse;)
