just saw it too. that looks super dope. i cannot wait to see the geo on it. i hope the travel is short and the angles are slack, with a ton of standover and a short ST.

i was already planning on the sluggo.. but now with that 4x fs coming, i might have to wait.

You'll be happy to know that according to one of their factory riders it will be "the perfect Kenter bike."
Keep an eye out, I'm sure some testing will be done up there...

Once I get a job i think i will build up a sluggo with my 6 inch sherman breakout and use it as a trail, urban, and dj bike.

which one the 4x or the sluggo? either way,, nooiiiicccee!! i havent seen a 4x type of bike with a 3-5 inches of coiled, sturdy travel, with 150mm up front,, I think that would be pimp. solid enough out back to jump really well but suck up some of the short landings. having some squish out back woulda prevented the pinch flat i got up there when i cased a dub last weekend.

Both maybe, but the 4x for sure. There really is nothing on the market that's got 3" in back that'll boost you off and suck it up so it should be cool. When it comes out I may get a longer travel frame to replace the Preston and get the 4x for everything else.

mos def on the 4x scoot.. i really want to see that thing in action now.
There was a lot of time put into that design. They could've had it ready for Sea Otter if you can believe that but the designers wanted it to be perfect so they waited. I think it will really pay off, I can't wait to ride it :thumb:

Both Nicolai and Evil came out with the twin top tube HT's at the same time...neither one of them has admitted who's was first...not that it mattered anyway...the same basic design was about 15 years earlier...D

You've never heard someone call something 'cheapo' as a negative?

However I do think he just meant less expensive (coughreasonablypricedcough)...
Indeed, the term "cheapo" can oftentimes be construed as a pejorative. However, in the context it was used it obviously meant "relatively inexpensive", not a bash on the possible lack of structural integrity of the frame.

the x4 bike is designed for a 5" fork and the sluggo is designed for a 7" fork.

i will be getting a sluggo and will be putting the new travis on it. its going to be sweet! also from other experances with soul frames they DON'T biuld **** ty frames. infact they are very high quality and they put a fair amoutn od design into their products. you really have to own one to see what i mean. i would put them right up agianst the higher end companies like santacruz for quality

i grabbin a soul cycles roscoe (aka banshee scratch for about a third the price) soon as they come out, sturdy lookin dj/urban frame
I just got a Scratch and love it, I would not ride another FR/DJ/Urban hardtail, period. The Soul Roscoe looks like a cool frame, but I've already been sold on the Banshee. When do they come out Buck? How much, exactly, will they be?

From what I've seen, the Banshee has a few features that the Roscoe does not, and the Roscoe is still not yet available, right? The Scratch was readily available for purchase, and I needed a new frame then, since I broke my P.1. Either way, the Scratch was still a reasonable $400 whe compared with what some pay for their jumping and street hardtails these days.

.......And I'll try to not sound sponsired next time I say I like a bike.

Grind plates on the Chainstays, RAD-style tubing, adjustable sliding dropouts. And a pretty hefty warranty, 2 years unconditional, 10 years after that. Either way, thye are both cool frames, and the Roscoe is not yet available. And the Banshee was available through Re:Cycles
