Some call the Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC 70 Bike a seriously tough all-mountain ride, some call it a light freeride sled. You’ll call it the bike you use for just about everything. This bike pedals well enough to meet your needs on a cross country ride or self-shuttle, and the 150mm of travel easily handles all but the burliest downhill trails.
LC2R suspension provides efficient pedaling and predictable riding
Low center of gravity to help you rail corners
150mm of travel to easily handle choppy terrain and the occasional drop
FOAM engineering ensures precise tube thickness to enhance strength and lower weight
This bike should be classified in the All Mountain category, not the Cross Country. I have the 08 Slayer sxc 70 (which is practically identical to the 09) and have about 4 rides on it. It has blown my expectations in all categories. It has a great geometry and thanks to the Fox 36 Talas II fork, is adjustable as the fork can lowered for climbing. The rear shock (Fox DHX Air 4.0) with the pro pedal feature is great for climbing and easily switched to allow for full usage on the downhills. Overall a bombproof ride.

I'm 5'8" 170 and am wondering if anyone has any frame size recommendations for the Slayer SXC 70. I ride mainly in Marin county (fire roads and single track) as well as a lot of riding in Tahoe in the summer (more all mountain profile).
i would go with either a medium or small frame, depending on how u want the bike to feel. im 6'4" nd i ride a large, just cuzz its easier to control the bike...by the way, ive heard tht the slayer SXC 70 is an amazing bike for downhill. ride hard.
This bike is one of the most fun bikes on the market today. Not the fastest uphill, but capable enough to climb anything. Point this thing downhill and it's like a sled. The low center-of-gravity keeps your wheels glued to the trail. One of the best one-bike-quivers on the market without a doubt!
My 2008 SXC70 has completely changed my expectation of what an AM bike is capable of. The stock build kit is really solid providing a lot of value, though I have swapped to an XO drivetrain with XTR cranks and Formula Oro Puro brakes. It weighs in around 32lbs. I've ridden it on all sorts of rides, from short XC style fire road climbs, to 7 hour epics around Lake Tahoe. It descends really well and offers more travel than I'll ever need. The short wheelbase (in part because I sized down) makes the bike very maneuverable but does give up a bit in high speed stability. Climbing on it is as easy as it'll get on a 30+ pound bike. There is very little noticeable pedal bob once the ProPedal is turned on and the Fox 36 is dropped all the way down. A definite recommend buy.
this bike rocks. i have the 07, basically the same. i have ridden this all over the north shore and numerous shuttle runs at whistler with my DH buddies, technical xc trails in Pennsylvania and most of the east, and done my share of drops, even over 6-7 ft. the bike will do it all. the comps are great, except for maybe the rims. i tacoed mine and went with crossmax's. i ride hard and this bike will take whatever you throw at it.
I ride an older 2006 RM Slayer 90. The new Slayers are great for all-mountain riding and are designed more for the all round cross country trail. If youâre looking to do any airs or drops, but still want a good all mountain bike check out the Rocky Mountain Slayer SS, designed more for freeride and air.
hi Josh, pretty similar as far as what the bike was designed for- both are 6" travel all-mountain bikes that are not hogs on the uphill (though not as fast as an xc bike). Personally I've always been partial to Rocky's- the geometry is really zippy and quick-handling, and they tend to fit people with shorter torsos very well. I also personally like sram a bit more than shimano, and I also like Fox suspension better than Rock Shox, so I would get the Slayer over the Remedy. But, both are super sick bikes that I'm sure you'll be happy on if you want a beefy, fun 6" travel bike.

1.125 as stated in the specs. As far as adding a longer travel fork I would advise against it. The frame is designed around the 160mm forks that come on these bike. Adding more travel will adversely affect the geometry of the bike. Unless you like riding choppers - looks cool, but they handle like crap.
Most of the time you try to make something that "does it all" it usually does none of them very well. This bike is a pretty good example of that.
It is too heavy and the suspension is too inefficient for XC/AM riding, but at the same time its got too much carbon in the rear and the geometry isn't quite right for free ride.
"Low Center Counter Rotating" is a fancy way of saying over complicated single pivot.
I have seen a lot of ripped off head tubes on RMBs too, not sure if this bike has this issue too though.
Matt - I strongly disagree with your comments and it appears you are making comments based what you see and not actual experience. Having put about 700 miles of big climbs, big downhills, and long adventure races, it handles itself very well in all of those categories. If you want a light cross country bike, get a cross country bike, same if you want a burly downhill bike. But if you want one ride to handle all conditions, this is a great choice.
