2019 Rocky Mountain Slayer Carbon 70

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 70 gives you a Fox Float X2 shock to get 165mm of travel out of its enduro-bred carbon frame, with a 170mm Fox 36 Float EVOL GRIP2 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. SRAM delivers the power with its GX Eagle drivetrain, offering 12 speeds to ensure you have the right gear ratio anywhere on the mountain, while SRAM Code R brakes bring DH braking power to temper that speed and 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.
