MACH 4 CARBON
The new Mach 4 Carbon combines World Cup performance with trail bike chops for the most capable, lightweight, full suspension bike available.

Winner of trail bike and XC bike awards, as well as professional races around the world, the Mach 4 Carbon perfectly embodies Pivot Cycles’ philosophy of designing every Pivot to perform at the pinnacle of its category. For riders seeking the ultimate in lightweight trail bikes, the flickable, confidence-inspiring Mach 4 Carbon shines in technical terrain, and anywhere the singletrack gets rough. For racers, the ability to unleash on descents is matched only by the Mach 4 Carbon’s World Cup pedaling efficiency and power transfer. Whether it is time to cut loose on your favorite trail or crush the competition at your next race, the Mach 4 Carbon is one bike that does it all.

“Our Mach 4 Carbon is one of the most versatile bikes we’ve ever designed. Not only does it shine at the highest competitive levels, it is also the most capable XC trail bike you can get”, said Pivot President/CEO, Chris Cocalis.  

New for 2018 is a fully redesigned rear triangle with increased stiffness and more tire clearance as well as Boost 148 rear hub spacing. “We are also offering this bike in both trail and XC Race configurations”, said Cocalis, “enabling riders to get a bike that is dialed for exactly how they want to ride.” Riders can choose between a trail-ready build with 130mm travel Fox 34, Maxxis Ardent 2.35 tires and 740mm wide riser bars with shorter stems or a competition ready machine with Fox 32 Step Cast fork, fast rolling Maxxis IKON 2.2” tires and a Phoenix Team Flat Carbon handlebar.

The new Mach 4 Carbon is offered in 5 sizes to fit a wide range of rider sizes and riding styles, including sizes XS and S. Pivot’s rider-size-specific geometry relies on a balanced fit and adjusted geometry to maintain correct wheelbase length and handling to properly accommodate the proportions of a smaller rider. Our smaller sizes are built with shorter head tubes to create more stand-over height. Size-specific carbon molds use smaller diameters and unique carbon layups for lighter frames while maintaining the same high strength in a more compact frame design. Additionally, for riders on our extra small and small bikes, lighter shock tuning and leverage rates enable us to set up the Mach 4 Carbon for a diverse range of rider weights and abilities. Pivot complete bikes are also designed to intelligently address real-world rider differences, with the option to choose women’s specific saddle on any size and shorter cranks on our S and XS sizes.

Pricing, Specifications, and Availability: Riders have a choice of 3 colors options: Red, Blue, and Lavender (XS, S only). Both XC race and trail oriented options are available with a wide range of Shimano or SRAM components and wheel upgrade options.

LES 27.5
Introducing the newest member of Pivot’s World Cup-winning family of hardtails: the LES 27.5

The LES hardtail family holds victories in professional races around the world. Now, we are proud to introduce the newest member of this winning team – the new LES 27.5. Following in the footsteps of the LES 29, the LES 27.5 is a hardtail aficionado’s dream machine – an ultra-light chassis with BMX-like handling and the rollover advantage of bigger wheels, all in a snappy, fast-accelerating package to fit a wide range of rider sizes.

The lightweight, carbon LES 27.5 exceeds previous standards for stiffness and power transfer. This new design incorporates Boost 110mm front and 148mm rear dropout spacing enabling riders to take advantage of wider hub spacing for stiffer wheels and the most precise handling and rider input.  “Our LES 29 is a World Cup winner, with a recent victory in the first 2017 Men’s Eliminator event. The new LES 27.5 shares the LES 29’s carbon frame features and shaping but has the super nimble handling of 27.5” wheels and really short chainstays, giving it an entirely different personality” said Pivot President/CEO, Chris Cocalis, “ it’s a fun bike that really rips through berms and technical sections.”

The LES 27.5 is available in sizes from extra small (XS) to large (L). Size XS easily fits a large waterbottle inside the frame’s main triangle. “With this design, we are able to fit riders all the way down to 4’10”, meaning that almost anyone can have a world class race bike. “said Cocalis. “We support a lot of professional female racers across every discipline. Our top XC racer, Chloe Woodruff, is just 5’1”, and making a bike that can take her to the front of the pack is a huge priority for us. She has been racing and winning on the prototype for almost a year in both World Cups and in National XC and short track events.”

Pricing, Specifications, and Availability: Riders have a choice of 2 color options (Red or Blue), and four sizes (XS, S, M, L). Competition ready bikes with Fox 32 Step Cast fork, fast rolling Maxxis IKON 2.2” tires and a Phoenix Team Flat Carbon handlebar are available with a wide range of Shimano or SRAM components and wheel upgrade options.
