Summary
The Rocky Mountain Slayer is a highly capable enduro bike, praised for its adjustable geometry, progressive suspension, and confident downhill performance. It offers a choice between 29-inch and 27.5-inch wheel sizes, with the latter providing increased travel. The bike's RIDE-4 adjustment system and refined kinematics enhance its versatility and ride quality.
Adjustable geometry with RIDE-4 system
Progressive suspension for improved sensitivity
Confident and planted downhill performance
Choice of wheel sizes (29-inch and 27.5-inch)
Refined carbon frame with durable design
35-pound weight may be hefty for some
Size-specific shock tuning may not suit all riders
Lack of integrated frame protection
The Slayer is like having your own personal skills coach—it will give you confidence and inspire you to push through the pucker factor.
BIKE MagazineIt’s a hell of a stock build that allows the Slayer to be pushed to the limits, and it held up through months of demanding testing.
Mountain FlyerThe new Slayer straddles the line between enduro racing and park riding.
