The Slayer was designed to be ridden fast, sent off huge hits, and take the abuse of a bike park lap after lap. The Slayer has become a go-to platform for Rocky Mountain freerider, Thomas Vanderham - especially when it comes to spending time in the bike park. Thomas’ custom-built Slayer has some of what you’d expect, and some that you wouldn’t!
