The SL version makes it bounce more. Hayabusa has rubber rims, SL has softer rubber rims, so it bounces more when you drop.

SL = Soft Landing.

Like rsmod said, it has softer rubber rims.

Yes it does bounce more, but if you use the regular version on a hard floor, it bounces pretty high on its own. So each version works just fine.

Hope that was at least a little helpful. ;D
