Is It A Trail
Or
Slopestyle Bike?
By Cam McCaul
My dream short travel trail bike would be a Slope-Duro monster.. It would look like a big 27.5 version of a Slopestyle bike with a 12-speed drivetrain, a dropper post, a hearty suspension that isn’t afraid to send, and of course it would have to be able to barspin and tailwhip.
Time to stop dreaming because this is that bike:
Frame: Trek Fuel EX Al
Fork: Marzocchi Z1 (140mm travel)
Shock: Float X2
Wheelset: Bontrager Line Pro 30 Carbon 27.5
Drivetrain / Brakes: Shimano XT 12 Speed with 4 piston calipers
Seatpost: Marzocchi Transfer (150mm drop)
Cockpit: Bontrager Line Pro 35
Tires: Bontrager XR5 2.6 (front) & Bontrager SE4 2.4 (rear)
