Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Slayer Alloy 30

Ludwig Döhl Slayer is a heavy metal band or just a bike from Rocky Mountain. The Slayer Alloy 30 is the most downhill-heavy bike in the lineup of the Yanks. With a flat 62,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The seating position of the on extremely technical trails moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. There are Enduro in the price under 6000 Euro that have more potential downhill. For 4700 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Rocky Mountain puts a lot of trust in its products.
