Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Slayer Carbon 50

Ludwig Döhl Slayer is a heavy metal band or just a bike from Rocky Mountain. The Slayer Carbon 50 is the most downhill-heavy bike in the lineup of the Yanks. With a 62,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Enduro 6900 Euro with higher quality components. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Rocky Mountain sets the bar high!
