It was at the Green Hill bikepark that Rocky Mountain gave us an appointment for our head to head with this 2024 vintage Slayer. Located in North Rhine-Westphalia, this bikepark in western Germany opened its doors in July 2022. On the program, pretty, very well-maintained slopes, lots of banked turns, rollerblades, jumps and drops of all kinds as well as pretty landscapes!
Slender on the first green track of the bikepark, the Slayer is easy to handle. Its behavior is rather intuitive and we feel that we have some available under the pedal. The bike does not take a traitor even when we deviate from our trajectory arriving a little too quickly in a turn.
The many turns follow one another and even when trying to put a maximum angle, the bike does not flinch and remains precise and safe in the many supports. On the other hand, this rigor requires a certain physical commitment, this model developing 180 mm of travel is more demanding than a series of large enduros on the market.
Thanks to the internal guiding and the imposing protection on the chainstay at the level of the transmission, the Slayer is extremely quiet, even in the bumpy passages where we did not once hear the chain slamming against the frame.
In slower passages, however, the Slayer pouts a bit. If it passes the different sections without proving dangerous, it is far from being as dynamic as some of its competitors.
