Slash 9.7 pairs fast-rolling 29er mountain bike wheels with long travel suspension to make one speed-hungry rig that's perfectly suited to both rowdy trail rides and enduro races. A full carbon frame, killer suspension package, and a solid component spec means you're getting awesome performance at a ridiculous value, too.

Why you'll love it

1. You’ll fade before the FOX Performance Float X shock does—it's built to help you squeeze the most out of long, gnarly descents
2. New, removable Knock Block has a bigger steering angle to keep cables and hoses safe without sacrificing turning radius
3. A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear
4. We added a second down tube guard to better protect your frame from shuttle-related damage
5. Wider seat tube, wider dropper—the 34.9mm diameter post is stronger, more durable, and moves up and down faster
