The high pivot layout — with an integrated idler pulley to manage chain growth — pushes the rear axle rearward through the suspension stroke, improving traction on rough, compressions-and-kickers terrain without the brake dive penalty of a single-pivot design. At 63.3°, this is an enduro geometry head angle. The Slash AL runs the same suspension architecture as the carbon Slash at a more accessible price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gen 6 is wheel-size flexible: it runs full 29\" out of the box but accepts a mixed-wheel (29\/27.5) setup by swapping the lower shock mount. An angle-adjust headset allows head angle tuning within a degree of the baseline. Adjustable leverage rate through the rear linkage allows tuning shock feel for rider weight and preference. UDH is built in for AXS and Linkglide compatibility. ABP provides independent braking performance. Internal frame storage and frame protection are included. The RockShox Vivid Select+ shock (230x65mm) is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnduro riders who want a high-pivot suspension platform in aluminum for durability and value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who want wheel-size flexibility — full 29\" or mixed 29\/27.5 via a single shock mount swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilders who want UDH and AXS compatibility built in from the start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot ideal for: XC or trail-only riding; this is a full enduro geometry frame — 63.3° head angle doesn't climb efficiently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock:\u003c\/strong\u003e RockShox Vivid Select+ (230x65mm) included — an air shock; riders who prefer coil should budget for an upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full 29\" standard; mixed 29\/27.5 possible via lower shock mount swap — confirm wheel preference before building\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle-adjust headset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included — allows ±1° head angle adjustment from 63.3° baseline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdler pulley:\u003c\/strong\u003e Required maintenance item — budget for replacement over time as part of the high-pivot system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame — Alpha Platinum Aluminum, 170mm Travel, High Pivot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enduro geometry (63.3° head angle), high pivot with idler pulley, adjustable leverage rate, alloy rocker link, ABP, ISCG 05, UDH, angle-adjust headset, internal frame storage, integrated frame protection. 148x12mm thru axle.
