Stanton Slackline review

Feb 2021 · Tom Marvin

A great all-rounder that’s not afraid to mix it with burlier builds through the tech

Highs
  • Geometry works well in a wide range of situations

  • Great ride feel, thanks to high-end tubing

  • Cheaper frame, with same shape, available for less money

Lows
  • Not as much customisation as other brands

  • Stock kit works well enough, but frame deserves a higher-spec build option
