Rocky Mountain Slayer 70 (2014)

Whether you're gearing up for a one-hour descent in the Argentinian backcountry or you're eyeing up a local sender, the Slayer is up to the task. It climbs like a goat — you gotta get up to get down —, and once you're pointed down its 165mm of SMOOTHLINK™ suspension handles all the rugged terrain and trail smashing you can throw at it.

Improvements for 2014:

-Wider Race Face handlebars
-Stan's ZTR Flow rims — reliable tubeless setup, better tire profile, and lighter weight
