Slide Trail

mtb
01

Origin

The Slide Trail fills Radon's lineup between the trail-focused Skeen (130/120 mm) and the full-enduro Swoop (170 mm). Launched in 2014 as a hardtail and evolved into a full-suspension platform, it targets riders who want real enduro capability — 150 mm of front travel, a solid Fox suspension package on top builds, and progressive geometry — without committing to the full rowdiness of a dedicated enduro bike.
