Joost Wichman takes Radon's brand new trail bike, the Slide 140, to the beautiful trails of British Colombia. This bike goes uphill like an E-Bike, but its lightness and modern suspension make it a blast on the descents too! Who needs uplifts any more, this bike takes you everywhere!

The new Slide 140 is completely made off carbon fibre. The frame, rear triangle and link are extremely light while providing excellent stiffness and high comfort. Its weight is a mere 1880 grams (not including rear shocks).

This set-up makes for a highly efficient chassis with 140mm travel placed on 27.5”- wheels that holds enough reserves for challenging descents. The Slide 140 Carbon also includes technical features like the Radon Conehead, Shimano PressFit bottom bracket, internally routed cables, Low Direct Mount front derailleur and QR15/ X12 through axles front and back.

It will be available in four different versions starting at 3199 €*; all models can later be equipped with an adjustable seatpost and a Side-Swing front derailleur. The Slide 140 Carbon combines efficient climbing capabilities with excellent downhill performance translating into unchallenged All-Mountain fun!

More info and all the models can be found on the Radon website.

 Any time a vid makes climbing look fun, I'd say the marketing team's done a good job

 Why do mountain videos always have the worst music. The song not only sucked but it didn't even fit the edit. It sounded like I a had a bad radio station playing in another app on my phone.

 Peoples opinions on music are like a*sholes. Everyone has one. So what you have said here is a moo point in my opinion. If you dont like it someone else will.

 First thing I wondered not "oooh what bike is this?" it was "wait, is this Christian rock?"

 "moo" point is clearly correct....even Joey says so Smile

 It is one thing to like the music but, @dwmetalfab is right, it didn't fit the edit. This was fast riding, hitting big stuff. Meanwhile some love song is playing in the background.

 I no think it looks hard. I dig jumps and I make one bigger than that last season. I only man in town to ride it. I see others I not no on my jump I fight them ok

 @GetMounted - No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

UMM HOW i word this... ok u take 20 lbs no lifting for 30lb if guy, so divide 2 u dont sit, u get 10 but for guy it no 30, so 20 would be for guy if u werent a girl?

 Their top of the line Slide 10.0 weighs just north of 22lbs.Think about that for a bit. It's an all carbon all mountain bike and it costs just south of 6 thousand dollars. My carbon hardtail with 100mm of travel weighs more than that and cost more than half that. I know where my money is going for my next purchase.

 True. And this guy feels like he needs to skid his rear tire around every corner. Boo.

 This guy doesn't have anything to prove. Not everyone wins 4X World Series.
