"2024 Rocky Mountain Slayer: A Thrilling First Ride Experience"

Rocky Mountain has released the latest edition of its freeride machine, the Slayer, with 180mm of rear travel and a 180mm fork. The bike is aimed at riders looking for an “aggressive, big mountain bike that can smash bike park laps all day long, and still be pedaled to, from, up, and down their local trails.” The carbon frames now also have a carbon rear triangle that Rocky says is stiffer, and designed for aggressive park riding. The Slayer is also UDH compatible, but only in the longer chainstay position. Prices start at $3,799 USD for the Slayer A30 and go all the way up to $10,299 for the Slayer C90.
