Pivot Mach 6: Best Bike Ever?

Hard to believe but, the Pivot Mach 6 looks ever prettier in person. Come see her for yourself!

So…here’s the story. I asked Fitzy just what all the rage was about the Mach 6. I had ridden our demo Mach 429 earlier this summer and LOVED it. But, I hadn’t ridden the Mach 6. (With broken ribs, I couldn’t ride until the beginning of Sept.) Fitzy, J9 and Billy rode it at Dealer Camp in July and their collective opinion of it was, “It’s the best bike, ever!” Hmm…really? Ever? It’s a 650b-er (27.5″ wheels) and has all the according bells and whistles of an Enduro-racing bike:

• the next generation of Pivot’s dw-link design
• 6.1″ of travel
• stiff and responsive carbon frame
• lower BB
• longer top tubes
• and on and on and on and on and on…

While all this seems great, it reads like a foreign language. So, I pushed for more insider info. Turns out, our two highly esteemed mechanics at the shop, Michael and Lloyd, apparently rode the Mach 6 at the 2013 WYDAHO Rendezvous Mountain Bike Fest over Labor Day Weekend. They, too, raved about the bike. (I reasoned that it’s always good when your mechanic likes your bike.) Scott then raced it in the Super D at WYDAHO. I haven’t checked the results to see how he did, but I’m assuming he finished the race, at least? Anyway, Pivot pushes the bike as an enduro-race machine, but Scott calls it the “Ultimate Teton Mountain Bike.” ”The Best” and “The Ultimate.” That means I’m definitely going to have to check this bike out for myself. Steer clear, I’m back in the saddle!
