Close but fucking Chevrolet badges honestly.

You're not helping.. ;^)
The orange one looks great tbf. And I must admit I do enjoy riding on my Remedy despite the climbing being quite ordinary.

I thought this was the world's worst support group?

Yeah the old full floater designs were pretty active. Good for tackling and floating over techy stuff, bad for steep climbs.

Oh wow. A Commodore ute with a dent in the tailgate. How unusual.

Wut?
I’m quite proud of how well we support each other buying bikes.
Not our fault it’s a trek.

Yeah looks that way but reviewer on Pinkbike was able to run the 210mm OneUp dropper on a size large - not bad.

Not too bad then, proceed with the order!
A mate is on the shorter end of the large for the current slash and he had to drop to a 125mm dropper. He would have been ok with 150 one up though.

Why are they running a head angle on the Slash that is 1.5+ than other manufacturers. (66.6/67.1)
Are they shying away from Grim Donut territory or do they know something else?

 

[PJO]

Ignore, it's the fucking seat angle
Thought I was going mad

No that's what I meant. I was trying to be funny..... I'll see myself out.

I've said it before myself and I strongly agree.

 

[beeb]

Ouch! lol

A mate Is looking at a Slash. Says they’re not available until roughly February. He works in a Trek shop. Wtf?

 

[pink poodle]

That ute photo...wow.

 

[slowmick]

Slow boat...

 

[Ultra Lord]

Why bother with something as lame as trek if your going to build up a bike? So many cool options from smaller companies.

From better companies...doesn't matter about the size. Trek is not as lame as giant or specialised, but it's close. They are also guilty of atrocities in the standards war.

On the plus side it is good to see a bike brand that knows people want to be able to jump their bikes without being fucked in the arse by their seat.

Don't stress - I wasn't planning to buy one, just having a look. I'd need to win Division 1 lotto (possibly more than once) if I was to buy every bike I looked at killing spare minutes in the office!

Whoever the vitalMTB test rider (black helmet and yellow goggles) in this review of the new Slash is a total fkn boss (that pinned manual at 8.46, phoof!) -
