Beer4Recovery Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 "The all-new 160mm travel bike who enjoys long descents on gnarly trails and climbing back up to the top of the mountain The Slash is the direct replacement for both air and coil versions of this year’s Scratch. At 160mm it’s a burly ride that looks like it’s capable of doing everything a Session can but with a little more pedal-ability. Naturally there’s a DRCV rear shock mated to a plush Fox 36, two spec options (the x0-equipped 9 and x9/7-equipped 8), plus a bonkers Kermit-green paintjob which was universally loved. We can’t get too excited about it until we’ve actually ridden it but it certainly looked like it’s going to tick a lot of the big mountain boxes."
Capricorn Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 man, the AM market has some sweet machines these days. Any speculation on local pricing for the Slash?
