IF ENDURO, BIKEPARK OR A MINI-DH BIKE IS WHAT YOU'RE AFTER, THEN THIS IS THE MACHINE FOR YOU.
This is the bike for those riders looking to be seen on the podium steps. The SLAKLINE has been specifically designed to provide maximum traction, perfectly optimized anti-squat and brake-squat, squeezing out every ounce of fun and speed, be it up or down.
The SLAKLINE was designed to descend like a downhill bike but pedal like a short-travel trail bike and it does so in every possible way….
After spending 18 months testing alloy prototypes based around the old shock mount standards, we went back to the drawing board on this bike and designed a completely new frame, ground up, based on the new metric shock standard. Everything changed: geometry, linkage, and layout.
We took advantage of the use of the 4 bar horst link suspension, better suited to long-travel bikes and optimized the pedaling anti-squat around a 32/34 tooth single chainring, providing an optimum pedaling platform with exceptional traction under acceleration and braking providing what we believe to be the most balanced feeling bike.
Without getting too carried away, the SLAKLINE has a long reach and slack head angle, where we feel the sweet spot between speed and maneuverability lies.
