This is my 2011 Rocky Mountain Slayer Slopestyle. It was hand built in Vancouver B.C using a Slayer tube set for Gully and I. Unfortunately, it is not a production frame and continues to be for Rocky Mountain riders only. Here is my set up for 2011!

Jarrett Moore s Rocky Mountain Slayer Slopestyle.

The frame has completely revamped geometry from a production Slayer making it more suitable for jumping. This frame has a 23" top tube with a nice and short rear end and 4" of rear wheel travel. A shorter top tube frame was also made, but being tall I opted for the longer frame.

Jarrett's Spec Details:

  • Frame - RMB FORM 7005 Hydroformed Alu
  • Fork - Marzocchi 55 RC3 Ti Tapered
  • Rear Shock - Marzocchi Roco Air
  • Chainguide - MRP G2
  • Pedals - Wellgo MG1
  • Handlebar - Spank Spike
  • Brakes - Formula RO
  • Cranks - Race Face Turbine 170mm
  • Hubs - Spank
  • Rims - Spank Tweet Tweet
  • Tires - Maxxis Crossmarks 2.1 LUST
  • Saddle - Chromag Overture
  • The complete build weighs in just under 31 pounds.

 You should check with your doctor to see if your heart can handle this pic.

 ive got an old slayer slopestyle and it looks nothing like this, its got 6" all round and 66 deg head angle, its completely changed
  • 2 0
 no the slayer is the same. this is a custom frame of which only two exist.
  • 3 1
 why is the shifter mounted to the frame?
  • 4 0
 because it gets in his way and he doesn't need to shift while on a slopestyle course. The shifter is there so he can fine tune how much speed he needs for the different courses
  • 1 0
 I was under the impression they did in fact shift during runs, they just needed it out of the way. That makes more sense to be honest.
  • 7 0
 They shift during runs, its out of the way so that it doesn't ghost shift when he does barspins/tailwhips, like he says in the video...
  • 1 0
 yeah spinning pulls the cable thus shifting the gears. and it looks a lot cleaner with the downtube shifter in my opinion.
  • 12 0
 I wish they would mass-produce these bike and sell em'

 Yeah Trek and Rocky get your act together! Dude looks like he fell face first in a tackle box

 Thats exactly what i was thinking....rocky please make this bike!

 I was talking to some guys and from the sounds of it. the tubing and stuff that goes into these bikes and the time that it takes adds up. The number i heard was 4 grandish for just the frame for them or something crazy
  • 2 1
 the retail number is definitely closer to the $1700 range for the frame and shock. The question is how well it would sell. Rocky would have to move lots of units (gonna let someone who actually works for rocky devulge precise numbers) and they aren't sure they could do that. I had a chat with the guys about sales of Le Pinks and Killswitches, the current thinking is that more expensive slope-bikes just don't cut it if you want to make money.

 We need to buy 200 of them

 The market is smaller than most think. This is a frame with a very specific purpose. Unless you ride big slopestyle trails you really dont need a bike quite like this. I think the thing is sweet, I actually ride a Cowan DS as a trail bike- as I used to ride bmx and love the feel of a bike that is short and likes air-time. But if i was shelling out big money for a new frame, Id go with the standard Slayer which is way more versitile than this bike.
  • 1 4
 I don't really understand the purpose of bikes like these. Even in events like crankworx, just about everyone with the hip short travel slopestyle bikes had some sketchy landings on the big stuff and gave their steerer tubes some good fellatio love.

Bring back the venerable freeride bike! Just give them the love of modern bike tech and I bet you can make them as light as these bikes, and as nimble as well. 6" sounds just about right.

 Just another unobtainium Frown

 Regular Rocky Mountain Slayer: XC Bike. Jarrett Moore's Slayer: Slopestyle bike.
Regular Trek Remedy: XC Bike. Semenuk and CMC's Remedies: Slopestyle bikes.

Huh.
  • 1 2
 So go grab an XC / Trail bike and ride slopestyle now!
  • 4 0
 Yes you just need to bend some of the tubes to get different angles, weld on a few pieces of metal to make the frame stronger and there you go!
  • 3 0
 regular slayers and remedys aren't XC bikes... they have 165 and 150mm of rear travel respectively.
  • 2 0
 oh my bad, I guess that makes them AM?
  • 1 1
 Semenuk and mccaul use custom trek scratches, not remedys
  • 1 0
 Yeah, the slayer is a freeride bike and the remedy is all mountain.
  • 2 0
 Elgoogyug, where'd you get the idea Cam & Brandons slope frames custom Scratches not Remedys, does that really even matter? Same goes for Gully and Jarretts Slayers, sure they have the same name. But they are completly different bikes; Different Geo, shorter links, different shock lengths/stokes, shorter travel.

Norcos in the proto stages right now for a new slopebike that looks similar to both Trek and Rockies slope bikes at the moment. But it won't been anywhere near production anytime soon
  • 1 0
 because the scratch is a different bike then a remedy...brandon semenuk said himself in a video
  • 1 0
 of course the scratch is different from the remedy but the slopebike he rides is completely different from both of them.
  • 1 0
 There's where your wrong. They both ride trek scratch frames with custom geo. Other then that its the same frame
  • 1 0
 Are you kidding me they have almost half the travel of a scratch
  • 1 0
 Hence the different geo making it a shorter travel..
  • 1 0
 actually im pretty sure the remedy was originally intended to be an aggressive all mountain bike.
  • 3 0
 @elgoogyug Travel has nothing to do with Geo, with that logic you can say that the Session is a custom Scratch too "it has different Geo making it more travel"
  • 2 0
 It doesn't say scratch or remedy on the slopestyle bikes, and the tubing itself is entirely custom such that even if it did share the name of either bike it would only be for show.

Brandon's bike physically does not have enough space between the top and bottom tubes to fit the shock from the scratch or remedy, regardless of the fact that the rocker itself is different.

 @progression: the "Slayer Slopestyle" moniker makes sense for Jarrett & Gully's bikes. It's the same tubeset, just with custom angles.

A bit off topic, but I'd say that goes a long way to inspiring confidence in the regular Slayer tubeset's strength. To my knowledge none of these Rocky slope bikes have broken.

 First, idk how the hell these guys get there bikes to be so light, second... After seeing this i dont think anyone will ever buy a stock slayer again...

 Some pretty dense action goin' on in here! Most of the slope peeps run their rear shocks >200psi, with 240-260 not being uncommon. Yeah, the sometimes blow seals.

 It's pretty sick. It's not often you see a pro running full Marzocchi. Going against the grain, I like it Smile

 Gully has 4, and a slightly more-ghetto bottlecage/shifter setup. He also runs 265psi in the rear shock... yikes!
  • 2 0
 Pretty sure he just said 65...
  • 4 0
 in his tires. That's also Jarrett not Geoff. Geoffs pretty solid, and his suspension is stupidly stiff. Preference.
  • 3 0
 pretty sure there were only 3 on gully's when I rode it the other day. And I just remember counting 5 on Jarrett rig when it was on the stand... wasn't really paying attention. That said it appears I'm really bad at counting these things.

 why is the shifter on the downtube
  • 1 0
 One less cable to wrap around the HT when they are tailwhipping or barspinning...

 and so it doesnt ghost shift mid run from accidentally hitting it.. watch the video....
