Details
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. Adding dw-link’s anti-squat and variable wheel travel path means that the Switchblade achieves the best performance in high speed and technical sections while also maintaining precise handling and a poppy ride. Best of all, though, is the Switchblade's ability to accept wheel size changes at the flick of a quick release. Drop the 29er wheelset for 27.5+ and crawl your way to the top of any mountain to experience the crazy traction and float characteristics of plus-size tires. Adding to the list of pros is the Pivot Cable Port system which routes shifter, brake, and dropper cables internally for an uber-clean aesthetic. 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 Charger Comp wheelset carves through dirt with precision. A Fox Transfer dropper post and Phoenix alloy handlebar complete the stellar spec, giving you the ultimate all-terrain, all-conditions ride.
