[Spirit_1100]

You aren't from the states...are you?

The Slasher 400 isn't offered in the United States...so finding information here on them will be a bit of a challenge.

But as for you moving up to a larger bike...as long as you are not afraid of riding (sounds like you are used to danger if you downhill mountain bike), then you will probably have no problems adjusting to the larger bike. At 217kg, the 400 isn't a very large bike (when compared to the Spirit 1100 at 250kg), and has a relatively low seat height of 645mm. The bike isn't a sports bike and will not ride like one. It is a small cruiser. But, it will give you a lot of enjoyment when riding it. There is nothing like riding on the street and touring the countryside or even commuting to work.

I hope you find this information helpful.
