Cables, seat clamp, thru axles and carbon bottle cage are integrated into the frame or handlebars. The sloped top tube and the associated low overhang height bring safety in the terrain. A variety of eyelets and attachment points make you want to go bikepacking and other adventures – like commuting to work in city traffic – the Sliker X Ultimate is a bike for life.”
