sorry for the silly questions but whats a flatslide carbi and why is it better? i see a lot of blokes on here stoked about getting one

NOt too sure myself mate, but from what I can tell is that the slide is flat on the front and back instead of circular and this will make the engine more responsive. Somebody else will be able to confirm this shortly.

I would also like to add to this question by asking if the flatsides reduce the bottom end torque? i.e. for going up hills easier.

looking down at the slides from the top, the round slide is round,
the flat is D shaped, with the flat facing the airfilter
