I didn’t know the travel numbers for the first week and it was a week of riding really challenging (for me at least) trails in nasty conditions. If you had told me then this was 140 mm in the rear I would have called bullshit. It’s progressive enough and the rear shock is so good that it rides like more. It reminds me of my old Yeti SB 5.5 in that way. As I said above in the review, I wouldn’t hesitate to ride this bike on any trail that I have ever ridden.
I’m not saying however, that I would object to trying the Slash - E when it arrives. (I have no advance knowledge here - this is pure speculation but I bet it’s in the works)
