 Slide 150 SeriesA special bike deserves special attention: Our showpiece, the newly developed Slide 150 model, must be the most exciting new piece in the 2013 collection! The big cleaner in the novelty test in the recent edition of Mountainbike will continue the story of success the Slide series has written. For this new development, Bodo Probst came up with a complete hydroformed frame that can deflect the stress better than its predecessors. Characteristic curve, suspension travel and drive influence have also been worked on in cooperation with Fox's developers. Now, we are able to present you with the Slide 150 - a bike that has plenty of reserves in rough terrain thanks to 150 mm suspension travel, X-12 thru axles, direct mount derailleur mount and optimized weight distribution, while exceeding the already impressive climbing skills of its predecessor. „Developing the Slide 150 has been one of the pivotal tasks in the past two years.

The first reviews came with phenomenal marks for performance, which seems to show we've found the right way here at Radon..." (Bodo Probst) | | |
