Vault Team Force

The ultimate bike for all adventurers with a soft spot for drop bars. Whether you prefer to stick to the tarmac or love to challenge yourself on gravel paths and moderate trails, the Pivot Vault Team Force handles almost any surface without breaking a sweat. Whilst the clever Isoflex system, which isolates the seat post from the frame with an elastomer insert, ensures good compliance and comfort, the frame is also stiff when pedaling and accelerates well. On gravel paths and moderate trails, the lively character and balanced geometry of the Vault Team Force also managed to impress our the members of our jury with a mountain biking background. A removable front derailleur-mount, discreet and neatly integrated rack- and mudguard mounts and dropper post compatibility round off the well thought-out overall concept. With regards to aesthetics, the streamlined shape and raw carbon look very elegant. In a nutshell, the Pivot Vault Team Force is a versatile, comfortable and fun option for committed gravel racers.
