Origin
The Slayer is where Rocky Mountain was born — the original freeride machine from 2001, when freeriding was a new genre. The 2024 generation made history as the first Slayer with full carbon construction front and rear, shedding weight while gaining stiffness. At 180mm of travel and a 62.5° head angle it's aimed squarely at bike parks and burly enduro runs. The Park variant goes further with a 200mm dual-crown Boxxer, making it competitive in the lift-served arena. Coil shock is standard across the range.

The verdict
+Strengths
- First full-carbon Slayer — lighter and stiffer than any previous generation
- Coil shock standard gives a plush, predictable feel for bike park and big-hit terrain
- CushCore + Maxxis Double Down on top builds means no immediate burly-tire upgrades needed
−Weaknesses
- At ~15.5 kg it's heavy for pedalling — this is a lift-served/shuttle bike first
- 62.5° head angle and coil setup make it sluggish on flatter trail riding
- Carbon Park-capable builds carry significant cost premium
