Bike manufacturer Rocky Mountain Bicycles reaffirmed itself as one of the industry's best when its "Slayer 70" series was named Mountain Biking Magazines' 2006 All-Mountain Bike of the Year.
The Slayer 70 offers the definitive riding experience with exceptional shocks and riding balance as well as being thousands of dollars cheaper than many of its competitors without sacrificing in overall build.
The Slayer was redesigned in 2006 into four models, each featuring the same frame but with different ancillary components. The new frame geometry has a lower stand over height, an extremely rigid rear linkage, and a single pivot suspension. Supporters describe the bike's performance while speeding down hills as "sticking like glue." Sticking in a good way, I guess.
Rocky Mountain Bikes, who celebrate their 25th anniversary this year, designs, tests and crafts their hand-built, high-quality bikes in Delta, British Columbia.
