This trail-blazing beast boasts an awe-inspiring 170 mm of travel in both the front and rear, making it an absolute force to be reckoned with. But that's just the beginning – brace yourself for a ride that's not just aggressive but fully customizable to suit your every desire.
Now, let's dive into what makes the Slash truly exceptional. Its groundbreaking high-pivot suspension layout introduces a rearward axle path that is nothing short of revolutionary. This ingenious design delivers an unmatched level of smoothness in the suspension, allowing you to maintain precious forward momentum and grip that feels like it's glued to even the most punishing trails. Picture yourself effortlessly devouring brutal descents with a grin on your face, knowing that the Slash has your back.
But here's the real kicker – while many bikes equipped with high-pivot suspension tend to compromise pedaling efficiency, the Slash defies the odds. Its meticulously crafted geometry and axle path combine to provide you with climb-gripping traction that feels like it's been tailor-made for your ascent needs. Say goodbye to the days of destroying your legs on the way back up the mountain; the Slash ensures you have the energy and confidence to hammer back to the top with ease.
In essence, the Slash is not just a mountain bike; it's a game-changer, a trail conqueror, and a testament to the relentless pursuit of perfection in mountain biking.

Buckle up, because the Slash is about to redefine your mountain biking journey, one trail at a time.
The Slash's ingeniously designed high main pivot is a game-changer for avid riders seeking the ultimate trail conquest. This innovative feature allows the rear axle to gracefully shift rearwards as the suspension gracefully compresses. This means that when the inevitable forces of impacts come into play, the back wheel doesn't resist them but rather harmoniously moves in sync. The result? It becomes a breeze to conquer obstacles that might have previously seemed insurmountable, setting you on a thrilling path to trail domination!
Now, let's dive into the fascinating world of those extra pulleys. As the rear axle gracefully glides backward, it exerts a gentle tug on the chain, which, in turn, exerts a delightful pull on the crank. But here's the magic: all of this happens without any of the harsh pedal kickback that can take a toll on your legs and dampen the riding experience. How is this achieved, you ask? Well, it's all thanks to the ingenious routing of the chain around those nifty idler pulleys. This strategic maneuver provides the chain with ample space to expand gracefully, all while maintaining just the right amount of tension. The result? You won't have to endure the jarring effects of pedal kickback, leaving you with a ride that's not just exhilarating but also surprisingly smooth and comfortable.
In essence, the Slash with its high main pivot and clever use of idler pulleys is your ticket to a world where obstacles are conquered effortlessly, and the ride is nothing short of a euphoric journey through the trails. It's time to unleash your inner trail enthusiast and experience the thrill like never before!
Positioned strategically to optimize your pedaling efficiency, these generously proportioned pulleys are a game-changer when it comes to preserving your precious energy and ensuring a seamless pedaling experience. The Slash isn't just your average high-pivot bike – it's a pedaling powerhouse!
Imagine effortlessly conquering the most challenging and technical climbs, even those laden with chunky obstacles. With the Slash, you'll glide up those ascents with ease, maintaining a superior upward momentum.
