STAFF PICK

"If you want to buy one bike that does everything, this is the bike for you; it jumps, it bumps, it pumps, it flows, it shows, that Pivot knows how it goes when it comes to bikes."
--Seth, The BackCountry Bike Mechanic

FROM THE MANUFACTURER

Do Everything, And Do It Better
The new Switchblade has a slacker head angle, steeper seat angle, increased reach and a longer wheelbase than its predecessor. Size-specific chainstays are tucked in and responsive but grow incrementally longer on larger frames. This translates to added stability at warp speeds while still maintaining the snap and pop that is ingrained in the Switchblade's DNA.

From Trail To Park
The new Switchblade is light enough to pedal all day, but stout enough to run a Fox 38 without any worries. You can spin this rig up into the jagged high places, and it is burly enough, composed enough, planted enough and smooth enough to smash every line all the way back down, laughing the whole way.

Hail The Evolution!
The latest iteration of this legendary machine features an incredibly refined dw-link suspension that stitches together the pedaling response and agility of the Trail 429 with the battle-hardened, EWS-proven, big terrain suspension and handling chops of the Firebird.
