The Pivot Switchblade Alloy enduro bike is an aggressive and versatile trail machine that is built to conquer every trail with smooth efficiency. The Switchblade is built with an ultra-tough and stiff alloy frame" built from Pivot’s next generation of hydroforming methods which enables Pivot to precisely construct wall thickness and complex" multi axis tube shaping which creates the stiff and durable frame. The alloy frame offers similar durability to the carbon frame while adding minimal weight to the frame. The Switchblade Alloy still uses the same ultra-stiff clevis and linkage" and large" suspension specific EnduroMax bearings as the carbon model. Built with the shortest chainstays in its class for nimble handling and extra clearance for wide tyres so that you can ride at high speeds with unrivalled stability through technical terrain. On top of that" the double wishbone rear triangle is very similar to what you’ll find on Pivot’s World Cup DH bike the Phoenix" showing the class and quality of this bike.

Everything about the Switchblade is built to make difficult challenges on the bike that bit easier and when you’re climbing or descending that starts with the suspension system. The Switchblade is equipped with Dave Weagle’s renowned DW-Link rear suspension which allows you to precisely control the rear axles path and remains active when you brake so that you can maintain control" momentum and traction when you need it most. Pair this setup with the 160mm travel Fox Factory 36 Fork and the flawless Fox Performance Float DPS EVOL Rear Shock to achieve the perfect riding experience on a range of climbs and descents.

You can power your way up and down any climbs or descents with the smooth Shimano XT/XTR 11-Speed groupset offering high-performance and the smoothest ride. Pair that with reliable Shimano XT M8000 Hydraulic Disc Brakes and you’ll ride with unrivalled confidence as you know you’re getting the most out of every pedal stroke and will have the required braking control when you need it.
