2019 Rocky Mountain Slayer Carbon 50

Overview

About this bike

With a pedigree of success on the most aggressive Enduro World Series tracks, the all-carbon Slayer’s descending aptitude and uncanny ability to hold speed in rugged terrain are matched with surprising pedaling efficiency. Predictable and capable, its rate curve provides good support at sag and a moderate ramp toward the end-stroke—perfect for sending bike park laps and big mountain lines. The Carbon 50 gives you a Fox Float DPX2 shock to get 165mm of travel out of its enduro-bred carbon frame, with a 170mm Fox 36 Float EVOL GRIP fork to balance the aggression this bike harbors. You’re set up for blazing speed and tenacious cornering thanks to a Maxxis Minion DHF tire up front and Aggressor in the rear, both a meaty, 2.5 inches wide and wrapped around Race Face AR rims for strength. Shimano’s SLX drivetrain smoothly serves up 11 gears in a wide range for power when you need it anywhere on the mountain, while powerful and trustworthy SLX brakes temper that speed to keep you on the trail. And, you’ll climb with comfort and efficiency right up until the moment you sink the Race Face Turbine dropper to pull the pin on an adrenaline-fueled descent. Don’t worry, your Slayer knows just what to do.
