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 Factory FIT4 fork attacks obstacles relentlessly while a Fox Factory DPS EVOL shock expertly handles spring and damping duties in the rear. This Team XTR 2x build features Shimano's superlight, broad-range XTR 2x11 drivetrain, powered up by a Race Face Next SLT carbon crankset. XTR Trail hydraulic disc brakes follow up with tremendous power and svelte weight, while the Reynolds Enduro carbon and Industry Nine 27.5+ wheelset teams up with 2.8-inch Maxxis rubber to carve through dirt with sharp precision and insane traction. A Fox Transfer dropper post and Phoenix carbon handlebar complete the stellar spec, giving you an outstanding all-terrain, all-conditions ride.
