Pivot Mach 4 Carbon frame: €3,299

“Performance re-defined“ is the slogan on the Pivot Cycles website, and this has clearly been achieved with the latest evolution of the American Mach 4 Carbon. This bike brings together maximum efficiency, confidence, and fun in a previously unheard-of manner. The light carbon-fibre frame is fitted with a DW-link rear suspension system boasting 115mm of fully active travel whose characteristics can be noticeably influenced by adapting the level of sag. Classic XC race bikes are not suitable for many consumers, as their handling and spec are not compatible with everyday riding. The Mach 4 manages to balance these conflicting needs and represents a new generation of XC bikes – it combines excellent trail performance with breathtaking forward momentum. Thanks to clever details like battery integration for electronic components, the Pivot is also ready and waiting for the next big evolution. Check out our bike review and visit the Pivot Cycles website for more information.
