The Slacker frame is now available with the new Arma v4 coil shock from EXT. It's a different beast from any mass-produced shock. Extreme Racing Shox are an independent engineering firm in Italy, specializing in WRC, Formula One, Moto and MTB applications. All their technology is developed and machined in-house.

The Arma v4 we offer on the Slacker is their top-tier downhill shock body, and it shows. You may be wondering how much better can this be than a premium shock from a mainstream brand; they do the same job, offer similar features and have much the same adjustability. The answer to that starts with the quality of the craftsmanship, which is obvious the moment you see the shock. And that follows into the ride-feel which just hits different. It's hard to describe, but it's real. We work with Mojo Rising in the UK to develop our own base tune for the Arma, and they build them to order. Which also means you get the unparalleled aftermarket support from one of the UK's top suspension tuning houses. If you want the best for your new Slacker build, this is it.

The frame has a 56mm diameter head tube, which enables us to provide a reach-adjust headset, which means you can run each frame size in three different reach dimensions. There's a tried and tested threaded bottom bracket shell, 200mm brake mount and a UDH compatible rear end. A brushed alloy head badge, CNC seat clamp, axle and our dedicated Silencer chainstay protector completes the package.
