Technical details
• Designed to shred hard, the Slayer’s reinforced carbon
front triangle means it’s bike park tough and ready for big
mountain charging.
• We’re still metal fans, and we have an all-new hydroforming
process that yields a crazy strong frame as well.
• A FORM™ alloy rear triangle increases resistance against
trail abuse, shuttle rub, and chairlift dings.
• The RIDE-4™ adjustment system allows riders to quickly
fine tune their geometry and suspension with a pair of Allen
keys.
• We’ve increased the reach, made the seat tube angle
steeper, lengthened the chainstays, and designed for a
44 mm offset fork. The Slayer was designed for speed, while
maintaining its trail manners.
• Improved small bump compliance and reduced pedal kick,
while providing increased mid-stroke sensitivity and
end-stroke progression.
• Sealed bearings at the shock eyelet dramatically improve
shock sensitivity (aftermarket shock compatible).
• The result is a sensitive yet supportive feeling platform
that’s dialed in for bottom out resistance with both coil and
modern air shocks.
• Bearing shields throughout help prevent contamination
from gnarly trail conditions or post-ride wash stations.
• Reinforced bearing seats at all pivots ensure a long lifetime
for your carbon frame.
• Dual row bearings at the dropouts for a stiffer rear triangle.
• The fully enclosed internal routing on our carbon models
and large open ports on alloy allow for easy cable and hose
installations.
• Integrated “Spirit Guide” chain guide, with 2-bolt ISCG05
for mounting a bashguard, keeping your chain on and
your ring intact
• Integrated downtube protector and shuttle guard.
• All frame sizes are water bottle compatible.
