Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Trek Slash 9.7 SLX/XT Mountain Bike 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 parts spec means you're getting amazing performance at a ridiculous value, too.

It's right for you if...

You like ripping technical trails at warp speed and want a bike with insane descending prowess for the gnarliest trails and enduro races.You prioritise frame and suspension performance above all else, and want a durable drivetrain that won't break the bank.

The tech you get

A full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with Mino Link adjustable geometry, a 170 mm FOX Rhythm 36 Float EVOL fork with GRIP damper and 160 mm of rear travel with a FOX DPX2 shock that offers loads of adjustability and tuning options. Plus, a Shimano SLX/XT 1x12 drivetrain, 4-piston hydraulic brakes and Line Comp 30 wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive rear hub that are already completely tubeless-ready, including sealant.

The final word

Slash 9.7 gives you heaps of speed and courage for a shorter stack of cash. You're getting a full carbon frame, a solid parts group and proven long-travel suspension for performance where you'll notice it most.

Why you'll love it

  1. You’ll fade before the FOX DPX2 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 34.9 mm diameter post is stronger, more durable, and moves up and down faster

Sizing Information

Sizing & fit

The charts below show our recommended sizes based on height, but there are some other factors, like arm and leg length, that determine a great fit. That’s why you’ll see some overlap in our recommendations. Not every rider who’s 5´8˝, for example, will fit on the same size bike. The best way to find your perfect fit is to consult the experts at your local retailer.
