the 2022 slayer model 29er medium size can be converted to 27.5? what riding position? need help

[@tomwito561]

Hi guys, I am currently on an A50 Instinct but I'm heavy 220lbs and still blowing through the travel. I wanted to upgrade to an Altitude C70 but now I'm wondering about a Slayer C70 29. All these bike seem to have the same drivetrains, so how different is the climbing? I had to put 165 crancks on the Instinct because pedal strikes were constant. I'm not a great climber so is 10mm more travel going to ruin my ride? Picking a bike is a struggle so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Deciding between travel variations should only depend on the terrain you ride and your riding style. If you're on an instinct already I can only presume your average day doesn't consist of super narly terrain. To answer your question about the extra 10 mils travel. The Altitude is a great climber. I wouldn't be concerned. Lastly, if your blowing through travel go to your shop of choice and inquire about volume spacers. They make a big difference, esp for bigger riders.

With the slayer A30 is it possible to mullet the Large/XL sizes cause I noticed they only come in 29ers

[@rockymountainbicycles]

Yep! All sizes can be converted to mullet.

[@sonnyarnold816]

The 2022 model. Can i run it as a mullet?

[@rockymountainbicycles]

You can mullet it if you have the 29" wheel size model. No adjustments are required, but we recommend running the shock in the steepest Ride-4 position. Shoot us an email at [e-mail] if you have any other questions!
