Reviews

"This bike rips"

"This bike ripped–like charged-over-everything-as-fast-as-you-want-without-picking-a-line kind of ripped. Yes, it's a lot of bike, but it's hard to find flaws in a bike that can do so much, so well. "

"The new standard"

"Slash is great everywhere and descends with almost the same confidence as a downhill rig. It's nearly perfect and might just be the new standard by which all others are measured. "

"An unflinching machine"

"Slash's blistering speed and downhill wizardry propelled it to the front of the pack. Slash epitomizes just how capable long-travel 29ers have become."
