Description
Carbon and aluminum join forces to create magic: an all-mountain bike that climbs as well as it descends. Like the SLAMR 6, the SLAMR 8 features slightly slacker geometry for all-mountain lines that demand composure and attention. The carbon fibre front triangle dampens buzz and shaves grams, while the aluminum rear triangle keeps it durable and affordable. It also features 150mm of buttery Fox travel in the front and rear for the ultimate in all-mountain performance. Hitting the sweet spot between fast-rolling pace and total flickability, the 27.5in. wheelset features 12 and 15mm thru-axles for flex-free, straight-as-an-arrow tracking. Outfitted with the gold standard XT groupset, you can expect superb braking performance and "set-it-and-forget-it" shifting.
- Light, durable frame combines a carbon fibre front triangle with a burly anodized aluminum rear triangle.
- Tapered headtube shaves grams and improves stiffness.
