'13 Pivot Cycles

Want XC pedal efficiency with trail-bike descending prowess? Pivot's Mach 4 will make you a believer — there's no squat, no wallow, just pure power transfer when you rip on the pedals. And, you've got four inches of dw-link suspension backing you up when you hit the chunder. Whether the trail is a buff rollercoaster or techy singletrack, you'll dig the tapered head tube, stout 92mm-wide BB and svelte carbon suspension links that boost frame stiffness and enhance steering precision. All of this with Fox's Float CTD rear shock giving you plush, tunable travel for all your riding and racing needs. Plus, this build is remarkable with SRAM's 11-speed XX1 gearing, a 120mm Fox fork, Magura MT-8 discs, a lightweight carbon bar and seatpost, and your lightning-fast DT Swiss wheels.
