Rocky Mountain Slayer A50 Shimano - 2024
Details
It’s time to go big.Smash every trail in total confidence. The Slayer was right there at the start of freeride movement, and that “heritage-of-send” lives on. Longer and slacker than ever, expect villainous levels of confidence when ripping big mountain trails or devouring the park. Rip, send, smash, repeat. Nothing’s in your way.
The classic spirit of the west lives in all of us. Renegades. Champions of freedom and exploration. Living by our own set of rules. Introducing the new Slayer, an outlaw built to stand out from the herd and stand up to any trail.
Designed to shred hard
The Slayer’s reinforced frame means it’s bike park tough and ready for big mountain charging, available in both SMOOTHWALL™ carbon and FORM™ Alloy.
Wheel size compatibility
All frame sizes are full 29" and MX (29" front / 27.5" rear) wheel compatible.
Fully enclosed internal routing
Allows for easy cable and hose installations, with thoughtful consideration for moto-style brake setups.
RIDE-4™ adjustment system
Allows riders to quickly fine-tune their geometry and suspension with a single Allen key.
Shielded bearings
Help prevent contamination from gnarly trail conditions or post-ride wash stations.
Water bottle compatibility
All frame sizes are water bottle compatible.
