BRAZE-ON DISC CALLIPER MOUNT:

This patent-pending design has been created for new low-profile, flat-mount disc brakes that are ultra light and incredibly strong.

SYNTACE 142x12 REAR THRU-AXLE:

Increased stiffness, strength and long-term durability.

  • Big Tires + Small Wheels = Good Times

    Massive 42c tires on 650b wheels give you the the same roll-out diameter as a 700x23c wheel for proper road bike speed, but with unreal cornering grip, traction and comfort.

  • Off-road enjoyment

    Sturdy and stable off-road, speedy on it - the Slate gives you the best of both worlds thanks to its short chainstays, slack head angle and long front-center.

  • Magic Carpet Comfort

    With the big-volume tires, plush SAVE rear triangle, and Lefty Oliver suspension fork, the Slate is magically smooth over bumps and chatter.

  • Light and fast

    Slate weighs in at less than a kilo more than comparable road bikes, making it fast on the roads yet rugged on the trails.
