From the Trail to the Road: Pivot Unveils Its First Road Bike
Racing Technology Meets Comfort
With the Pravia, Pivot presents a road bike inspired by the World Tour without adopting its extremely aggressive riding position. The carbon frame was developed using finite element analysis and Pivot’s Hollow-Core process. Aerodynamically optimized tube shapes reduce drag, while the high bottom bracket stiffness is designed to enable efficient power transfer.
A specially developed carbon fork combines high lateral stiffness with targeted flexibility. The aerodynamic D-shaped seatpost is also designed to reduce vibrations. Pivot individually tunes the geometry and carbon construction for each frame size.
Fast Even After Several Hours
With the Pravia, the focus isn’t just on maximum speed, but also on performance during long rides. Pivot’s chief designer explains: “As with every bike we build, our goal was to develop the fastest bike with the best fit and handling for performance-oriented riders. We fine-tuned the geometry, tube cross-sections, and carbon construction for each size until we achieved a design that delivers the performance and precise handling of a true road bike, without forcing riders to choose between an extremely aggressive riding position and a truly fast bike.”
Tire clearance is up to 38 millimeters for dual-chainring setups and 40 millimeters for single-chainring setups. An integrated storage compartment in the down tube provides space for tools and accessories.
Three trim levels and a frameset
The Pravia is available in the Ride, Pro, and Team variants. All models feature carbon wheels and a power meter. The two higher-end configurations feature an integrated handlebar-stem unit.
Prices range from 5,999 to 11,999 euros. The frame set costs 4,499 euros. Color options include Purple Prism and Stealth Black Gloss.
