I am a slash owner now too. I am in the owners club. My sweet lbs hooked it up and i got the last 15.5 8. Looks like slash is selling out. Trek seems to have pulled the 7 and 9 from their website. I am curious whats still available. I just hope the 8 is as sweet as the 9 i demoed.
all you damn slash owners suck ass. i mean it with the most love possible you truly suck ass. by the way this is just my smart ass way of saying i am jealous. i demoed the 9 and love love loved the bike. it was better that the enduro and the enduro evo, the trance sx. i wanted this bike had no complaints till i went in to buy and there are only 2 damn smalls left in the 8 build. now what i find a sweet ride and i cant buy it. this sucks ass
if your not familiar with push industries check them out they have a shock tune for something like 250 or so and they have a 30$ part for the shock from what i understand it helps the shock take bigger hits but still retain the trail ride
at 30$ for a shock tuning part that's crazy considering all the money we put into our bikes and the benefit of a shock part. if you do it let me know. i may just settle and do the slash 8 and heck over time i can upgrade parts i dont usually switch bikes i ride for many years.
