ridevt Added a comment about feature Sneak Peek: 2015 Trek Slash 27.5 Carbon

I had a 12 and have a 14 now. I've tried the PUSH reducer but still didn't get the big hit performance. Noticed the slash specific Monarch had become available on QBP and ordered it a few weeks ago.

Pretty sure you're referring to the re:Aktive technology combined with DRCV. Apparently Trek thinks it still has a place on the lower travel trail bikes.

no i saw. And kudos to them for fixing it (but honestly the verdict is still out IMO. i'll wait until there is rider feedback in mass before deciding if it is drastically improved instead of just taking their world for it in early 2013 at a product launch.)

Product Highlights  Perforated neoprene construction with stretch mesh back  Stretch Kevlar® knee cover with abrasion resistant graphics  Pre-curved ergonomic internal hard cap protector  $59.95 MSRP Riding Impressions  The Rage kneepad was introduced as a new item in SixSixOne's 2012 lineup. This knee pad shares a lot of similarities with the classic Kyle Strait Knee Pads, but with a few variations. Think of this new knee pad to be the slightly slimmer, less beefy, better vented version to its hugely popular alternate. For comparison, the Rage is on shown here on my right knee, and the most recent version of the...
