Slash cut pegs are also machined from billet aluminum, but are designed differently. Slash cut pegs ~~look more like "normal" pegs, having~~ one surface that is obviously designed to contact your boots. In a word, they look more like "normal" pegs. There are differences, though. Slash cut pegs are tapered towards the outer edge of the peg, with the "bottom" of the peg angling up towards the outside of the peg. This is to provide greater lean angle before the pegs start scraping. They are also, like the round pegs, shorter in overall length, to additionally increase ground clearance.

Instead of a knurled contact surface like round pegs, slash cut pegs have a machined "grid pattern" cut into the top surface of the peg, leaving an aggressive, sharp edge for maximum peg/boot grip. This offers even more grip than the round cut pegs, but that extra grip also means it is a little more difficult to slide your foot on the peg. Actually, it is next to impossible, requiring you to almost completely lift your foot off the peg to move it.
