SLACKR Steel Mountain Bike

Design Parameters:  Build the most capable trail hardtail that is playful, grin-inducing, and built to pedal long trail days. The SLACKR rounds out our MTB lineup with a slacker ;) option for riders seeking a playful trail bike.

The SLACKR steel, our 150mm/140mm travel shreddy hardtail that is designed for all-day trail riding. The SLACKR comes in 6 sizes, fits a 34T chainring and up to a 29x2.6" tire.

If your ride style is fun, playful, and aiming for some bigger lines or hang time, the Slackr has you covered. Compared to our shorter travel bikes, on singletrack and XC courses, a 140mm travel adds additional comfort. On techy chunky trails, a 150mm travel adds additional confidence and smoother tracking in the rough.

Chainstay Options:

Why choose the double butted oval chainstay? (included in frame price)

Use this for the smoothest ride experience and value in the frame cost. The full tube is double butted and provides a supple ride quality. Fits a 2.6” tire in the middle of the sliding dropout.

Why choose your chainstay with the 3D Space Yoke? upgrade + $400

Use this for the most responsive ride quality. This works best for those who like to get rowdy, carry more weight on the bike or want the most performance out of every pedal stroke. Fits a 2.6” tire all the way forward in the sliding dropout.

All of our complete bikes are built with a custom selection of components. We pride ourselves on listening, understanding your riding goals & working with you to craft the perfect blend of components & customizations.
