    Looks like it, I was hoping to build up a new bike again sometime down the road. Sold all my bikes (except DH) when I had some financial problems, regretted it ever since.

    Crazy how low bottom brackets are now all the rage, I remember when people were first skeptical about them- but now just about everyone runs one.

    Well today was my first ride on the 160mm slash 9.8 and it was awesome. Climbed better, handled better, but I got stood up on some rowdy terrain my 29er wouldn't have faltered through. All and all 650b is awesome

    When I first looked at this pic I wondered WTF is that extra top tube........it is the hoop on the bumper of the truck. It blended in well with the bike frame.

    With the terrain around here, I can't justify 160mm of travel, but that Slash is what I would be looking at. I took my Fuel EX 27.5+ to Keystone over the summer, and it did fine with 140mm on everything except double-blacks, although 160mm would have been perfect. Would like to see it with 2.8" like the Fuel, that would be a beast of a park bike.

    For where I ride and how I ride 160mm is perfect and this thing climbs amazing for a 160mm bike! I actually PR'd on it vs my hardtails haha

    The short: love it.

    Climbs better, handles better, just not as good downhill. I have it in the steep position now but man it climbs awesome. It definitely gets stuck in holes more so I can't plow like on the enduro 29. I PR'd on the first climb I did because this beast!

    I switched mine to slack for Keystone, and it feels funny at slower speeds but great at speed. I wouldn't use the slack setting for regular trail riding.
