We ordered the Slacker frames a year ago, and we thought they'd be here by Summer. Little did we know that 2022 was going to be a bit of a challenge...
We've been riding the Slacker prototypes for nearly 18 months now. It's time to evaluate everything we've learned and roll that up into another round of developments. This might be the last big push before production.
With most things being cancelled the past 18 months, getting out on the Slacker has been tricky, but the SDA race at Glencoe was the perfect opportunity to test the prototype on the high-speed straights and loose turns of a proper DH track.
The arrival of the Zeb fork last time meant we had to jump ahead a little bit, missing out the original Prototype Teardown blog. But it's an important step that you can't miss out so here goes...
The Slacker was always meant as a platform to test and learn from. So when we got a chance to test the new Rockshox Zeb fork, we used it to build a bike unlike anything else out there right now.
