Rocky Mountain keeps pushing their bike designs. You've already heard a lot about the new Slayer but the Switch has also been completely redesigned. Wade Simmons chose it as his steed for the District Ride in Germany - perhaps because, like the Slayer, it's become lower and sleeker. Other tweaks include; a longer stroke shock, a rising rate linkage for a bottomless feel, a 12mm thru axle rear hub, a lower standover height and stronger 'boxed in' link plates. Best of all it's handmade and powder coated right here in B.C. We'll have a tester in the stable any day now. If you leaf through the Rocky 25th Anniversary catalogue you'll notice that the Frorider name for their team riders is continuing to make a subtle comeback.
