2018 Pivot Cycles Switchblade RACE XT 1x 29

Overview

About this bike

Purpose-built to meet the demands of enduro and aggressive trail riding, Pivot’s Switchblade is a versatile ripper with a huge advantage no matter where you shred. Combining modern geometry tweaks with a stiff and lightweight carbon frame gives you both unmatched high-speed stability through chunky terrain and effortless split-second manuals over seemingly impossible obstacles. With a 135mm-travel double wishbone rear triangle design employing dw-link’s anti-squat and variable wheel travel path, the Switchblade achieves the best performance in high speed and technical sections while also maintaining precise handling and an efficient, poppy ride. A 150mm Fox 36 Performance fork attacks obstacles relentlessly while a Fox Performance DPS shock handles spring and damping duties in the rear. This RACE XT 1x build features Shimano's smooth-shifting and dependable 1x11 drivetrain paired with Race Face Aeffect SL cranks. Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes follow up with great power and modulation, while the Sun Ringle Duroc wheelset teams up with Maxxis rubber to carve through dirt with precision. A Fox Transfer dropper post and Phoenix alloy handlebar complete the stellar spec, giving you an outstanding all-terrain, all-conditions ride.
