The Stride platform received major research and development and has been completely reinvented, bringing top-end features to the recreational rider, at the right price.

Featuring Silverback's POP geometry as piloted on the Slade, the Stride is a confident descender that handles like a proper trail bike. The Shimano 27-speed drivetrain, internal routing, tubeless-ready wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, tapered headset and progressive trail geometry is unseen in this class, making the Stride a true best-in-class offering.

Hydraulic disc brakes

Stride Elite SL comes with hydraulic disc brakes. Disc brakes offer dependable all-weather performance over rim brakes.

Hydro-formed 6061 alloy frame

Stride Elite SL features a brand new frame focused on the sport XC market. Trickle-down technology means that the new frame benefits from Silverback's leading platforms. The frame tubes are hydro-formed into complex shapes to increase strength and stiffness, minimising weight and excess material use. It also features QR 135mm dropouts.

Internally-routed full-length cable housings

Internally routed cables keep the cockpit clean and neat.

Kickstand mount

There is an integrated kickstand mount in the left rear chainstay. The addition of a kickstand is neat and uncomplicated. The disc brake calliper is mounted inside the rear triangle to protect it from environmental damage, while also acting as a brace, improving strength around the dropout and kickstand mount.

Low standover

Lower standover means that the Stride can be ridden by both male and female riders with more room for movement. This improves control and confidence on technical sections. It also allows for a longer dropper post to be used.

POP geometry

Position of Power – the geometry is designed to engage bigger muscle groups in pedalling, producing more power output for the same amount of input. Longer frame places the rider forward, in a more balanced position, improving grip on the rear on climbs and on the front on descents. A longer wheelbase and slacker head angle means more control at speed.

Rack and fender mounts

The frame features mounting points for a rear fender and pannier racks. The Stride can easily be set up as a commuter or touring bike.

Responsive short chainstays

Short chainstays coupled with Pop geometry means that the Stride is more nimble through corners, yet retains overall stability.

Tapered headtube

A tapered headtube increases front-end stiffness and directly influences steering feel and precision. This also means that the Stride range is compatible with all modern forks if you would want to upgrade your suspension.

Tubeless ready

Surface wheels are tubeless-ready from the box.

Tyre clearance

Stride Elite SL is designed to easily fit higher volume 29" x 2.35" tyres with plenty of mud clearance. Bigger tyres can increase the contact area and thus ride comfort, control and grip.
