Upper idler
The 19-tooth upper idler pulley is bigger than most so the chain doesn't have to bend as sharply, adding efficiency and strength.
Adjustable leverage rate
Easily adjust suspension progression with just the flip of a chip. Ride it in the less progressive setting for a plusher feel perfect for rugged trails loaded with square-edge bumps. Flip it to more progressive when you’re riding fast, hitting big features and don’t want to bottom out – or if you want to roll with a coil shock.
Stow it, don’t show it
Stash your ride essentials with in-tube storage on all models – both carbon and alloy. Included Bontrager BITS bag keeps your odds and ends organised.
Created for customisation
Want to run a longer dropper? Swap air for a coil shock? No problem. The Slash has plenty of room for beefy tires, big coil shocks and running up to a 190 mm fork. Plus, it’s even equipped with accessory mounts under the top tube when your storage door is loaded and you need to haul a little more.
On guard
We spent hours analysing high-speed camera footage to figure out just how to shape a guard to minimise chain movement, so you get a quieter, more protected ride.
