The Pivot Switchblade 29” is a modern blend of trail and enduro geometry to give versatility in a bike that is as capable on the trails or bikepark. The ultra-light hollow core carbon frame pushes the limits of versatility, allowing you to run 29” wheels, 27.5” wheels or a mullet setup without concession thanks to the Flip Chip’s adjustable geometry design. Whether your thing is riding downhill or on the trails, or somewhere in between, you’ll find the performance of the Switchblade pushes the performance envelope further than ever before.
With its Super Boost Plus 157 spacing, achieved through short chainstays, a stiff frame and rigid Super Boost Plus hubs, with wider flanges that promote spoke tension and wheel stiffness, the Switchblade will offer impressive tyre clearance and mud shedding.
When you’re tackling technical trails, you’ll be glad of the DW-Link suspension that limits suspension bob for a more control and gives greater confidence to tackle big jumps, while also improving your traction. Pivot has also shortened, straightened and steepened the seat tube of the Switchblade to allow longer travel dropper posts to inspire more confidence on steep descents.
The wheels contribute to this all-encompassing performance. Thanks to the handy flip-chip, which works to adjust the height of the bottom bracket, you can opt for a stable 29” wheel or you can opt for a more manoeuvrable 27.5” wheels for technical trails, or perhaps even a mullet setup for the best of both worlds.
All these features add up to make the Pivot Switchblade 29” a bike that has the versatility to handle whatever terrain you ride, whether you’re racing enduro or flowing trails. With DW-Link suspension blended with the Switchblade geometry will give you a unrivalled performance that will inspire you to ride harder than ever before.
