2019 Pivot Cycles Phoenix Carbon Saint

Overview

About this bike

The Phoenix Carbon is the lightest, strongest, fastest, most technically advanced downhill chassis in the world. This is the same bike that's been ridden to success at Crankworx, on the World Cup downhill circuit and at the Red Bull Hardline. It's also the rig that countless everyday shredders have used to reach the podium, drop jaws at the bike park, and thoroughly blow minds out on the trail. You're looking at a gravity sled that shrugs off monster gaps, is ridiculously quick on the gas, and blends high-speed control with jump-line playfulness. This is the Phoenix Carbon. This is fast. The Phoenix is constructed of a bomber, yet ultra-light full carbon frame featuring leading edge carbon fiber materials and Pivot's proprietary molding technology. The supple yet efficient 204mm dw-link pairs the front and rear triangles with a Fox Float X2 Evol shock for soaking up super-technical sections of trail and absorbing big landings. Its long and low geometry puts the rider "in the bike", with a slack headtube angle making it a racecourse missile. Additionally, the adjustable headset allows a .75-deg adjustment in both directions, so you've got options to slacken or sharpen the steering and dial it in for different types of riding or terrain. The frame features hassle-free full-length internal cable routing with Pivot's exclusive cable port system for the ultimate in cable management. The Phoenix is built on a 27.5-inch wheel platform that runs faster, has more contact patch, and provides increased stability over traditional 26-inch rigs. Whether you're racing for the podium or doing all-day runs at the park, this bike is ready for it all.
