Strengths:    If left stock can be used for enduro racing or 24 hr races. Frame is very versatile and can take a series of upgrades tjat you want. The rear tire is stuck to the ground if you want it and up in tje air when you make it! The plain white color is just better than those 2 tone ones.

Weaknesses:    Probably the stock components of the 30 is a tad bit expensive.

Bottom Line:   
The slayer sxc line is really a good line of bikes! RMB has designed a very reliable machine. It climbs very well (specially stock) and goes downhill with ease and with confidence.

If you're looking for a bike that will give you confidence, if you're
