A full-tilt road bike with legitimate off-road chops, the Slate brings a whole new dimesion of hard-cornering, curb-hopping, trail-shredding fun to the concept of “road-riding”.
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.
Full Fun Geometry
Short chainstays give Slate snappy quickness, while a slack head angle and long front-center keep things stable for off-road excursions.
Magic Carpet Comfort
With the big-volume tires, plush rear triangle, and Lefty Oliver suspension fork, the Slate is magically smooth over bumps and chatter.
Surprisingly Light, Surprisingly Fast
Despite its burly look, Slate weighs less than a kilo more than comparable road bikes and it carries speed like a traditional (but bizarrely smooth) road bike.
