Hi all
I am about to order a slackline. This would be my one and only bike for doing it all : Fun XC (max 80km) - light enduro loops with jumps - fun comuting, etc...
i've read it's very fun and all this but how is it for manual and bunny hops stuff? I'm wondering if its not too hard to pull manual due to low bottom bracket or something.
any advice welcome. Thanks guys

I've had one for a year now and it is indeed a fun and versatile bike.I do find it harder work than my Capra for initiating getting the front wheel off the ground for bunny hopping etc now you mention it-but this isn't my strong point as I always struggle with these skills anyway. I think being 5'8" and having relatively long legs with a short reach means you can't get your weight towards rear axle easily but having said that I can still clear low level bridle way step over gates and 1 foot diameter fallen trees so.....
The bikes got great mud clearance on the rear even when used with fun high volume mud tyres so if I had the choice and was starting with no old wheels,forks etc I'd get some good mud clearance up front-ie boost forks .
Hey,
Slackline is as good a bike as you'll get for doing a bit of everything, that's why i chose it as well. It's my only bike and im running it with 120mm fox fit4 forks & Gx drivetrain.
With my limited skills I can just about manage to pedal without falling off so I can't help with bunnyhops or manuals query, but its a very lovely frame and the ride quality is definately there.
