The Slash's storage door is bigger, easier to use and the plastic parts are all made from recycled materials.
The Slash's high main pivot allows the axle to move rearward as the suspension compresses, so the back wheel moves with the force from bumps and gets out of the way faster.
A meticulously engineered chain stay guard reduces chain movement for a blissfully quiet ride while the removable downtube guards fend off rock strikes.
Eagle is a lighter, simpler, more durable, and easier to use drivetrain with a gear range of 520%, which is equal to 2x11 drivetrains.
