Summary
The Rocky Mountain Slayer is a versatile cross-country bike that excels in both climbing and descending, thanks to its lightweight frame, active suspension, and neutral handling. It's praised for its ability to tackle a variety of terrains with ease, though some riders note a steep seat angle can make the cockpit feel cramped on fast descents. The bike's performance is further enhanced by its stiff frame and efficient pedaling, making it a standout in its category.
Lightweight frame enhances climbing efficiency
Active suspension performs well across diverse terrains
Neutral handling improves cornering and stability
Versatile for both climbing and descending
Stiff frame ensures precise tracking
Steep seat angle may feel cramped on descents
Can feel sluggish on flat trails due to slack geometry
Front wheel lifts easily on steep climbs
Our goal was to create the best all-mountain/enduro bike possible.
BIKE MagazineThe feeling was similar to that of surfing fat skis in deep snow in contrast to wiggling down the hill on pinner skis.

Slayin' the Trail on Rocky Mountains Do-It-All Trail Bike, Pedaling up Cement Creek Trail we gained elevation as the sun dropped close to the ridges. Topping out Hunter hill above 12,000 feet we gazed towards Teocalli and Pearl Peak in the breath taking alpenglow.
