Better then I thought it would, for sure! The climb setting on the shock definitely helps on long climbs. I don't do much with the fork besides the travel adjust on longer steep climbs. The thing descends like a sir, which is what i was mainly after.

 Sweet! Thanks for the response. I've been looking at this and the Remedy. This looks so much nicer than the Remedy though, the Remedy is an eye sore haha. And this is better spec'd for sure.

 i was also looking into getting a remedy untill a talk to our rep. i told him now i ride and what i ride and he said no question, go with the slash. he didnt think a remedy would last for me. 6'2" 200lb. guy that rides hard. also as the bike sits in that picture it weighs in at 31.8lbs.

 Nice!
