Trek Slash 9 GX AXS Mercury: the most heavily armed aluminium enduro bike

The Gen 6 Trek Slash 9 GX AXS T-Type is an Alpha Platinum aluminium enduro bike (according to Trek data), with 170 mm of travel at both ends, a RockShox ZEB fork, a Vivid shock and SRAM CODE brakes, weighing 17.47 kg in size M. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type wireless drivetrain completes this build designed for steep terrain. Its Mercury colour, a metallic mercury grey, reflects the light beautifully.

Who is it for?

For the tall rider who rides hard in enduro and at the bike park, puts strength and braking power ahead of weight, and wants a tough wireless drivetrain. It also suits repeated downhill sessions with shuttle uplifts.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha Platinum aluminium, armed to the teeth. According to Trek data, this Slash 9 GX AXS is built on the Gen 6 Alpha Platinum aluminium frame, like the Slash 8: high main pivot with idler pulley, adjustable head angle headset, internal storage and Active Braking Pivot. It stands out for its kit designed for steep terrain: ZEB fork, Vivid shock, CODE brakes and SE6 tyres.

	OCLV Mountain (Slash 9.8 / 9.9)	Alpha Platinum (Slash 8 / 9)	Benchmark: Gen 7 Fuel LX
Level	Trek's mountain bike carbon	High-end aluminium	Enduro on a Fuel base
Construction	OCLV layup tuned for impact resistance	Hydroformed tubes, smoothed welds	Carbon or NEXT Platinum alloy
Reference bike	Slash 9.9 X0 AXS: 16.53 kg (M)	Slash 8: 16.68 kg (M)	Fuel LX 9.8 XT Di2: 15.97 kg (M)
What it means	Lifetime frame warranty, higher-end builds	Cheaper to replace after a big crash	160 / 170 mm, conventional pivot

Put simply: it is the heaviest of the Slash models (17.47 kg), and that is not a flaw. The parts that add weight are precisely the ones that take the hits: ZEB fork, Vivid shock, SE6 tyres and CODE brakes.

The RockShox ZEB is a very stiff enduro fork that holds its line in the roughest rock gardens of the Espinouse. At the rear, the Vivid absorbs repeated impacts without losing effectiveness, even on long descents.

The SRAM CODE Bronze brakes on 200 mm rotors offer a great deal of power, suited to a heavy rider on a large frame. The GX AXS T-Type drivetrain, mounted on the UDH hanger, stands up well to knocks against rocks.

Which Slash should you choose?

Model	Frame	Travel rear / front	Drivetrain	Weight (M)
Slash 8	Alpha Platinum alloy	170 / 170 mm	Shimano XT 1x12	16.68 kg
Slash 9 GX AXS	Alpha Platinum alloy	170 / 170 mm	SRAM GX AXS T-Type 1x12	17.47 kg
Slash 9.8 XT Di2	OCLV Mountain carbon	170 / 170 mm	Shimano XT Di2 1x12	16.63 kg
Fuel LX 9.8 XT Di2 (Gen 7)	OCLV Mountain carbon	160 / 170 mm	Shimano XT Di2 1x12	15.97 kg

Our take: 790 g more than the Slash 8, for higher-end RockShox suspension, CODE brakes and wireless shifting. The carbon Slash 9.8 XT Di2 weighs 16.63 kg.
