Pivot launches a new trail bike with the Mach 5.5 Carbon
For Pivot, the 140 millimeter travel range is a success story. The previous Mach 5.7 Carbon is one of the most popular and best-selling bikes in the US manufacturer's portfolio, which is available in Switzerland from distributor R-Cycles.
The new frame, which offers 140 millimetres of travel with a dw link on the rear triangle, can accommodate tires up to 2.6 inches wide in 27.5-inch format. As befits a modern mountain bike, the geometry is long and low at the front and short at the rear. The frame weighs around 2.35 kg and offers space for a water bottle in all frame sizes. At the front, the geometry is designed for a fork with 160 millimetres of travel, which is remarkably generous for a bike in the trail bike category and should also give the Mach 5.5 Carbon potent downhill potential.
The Mach 5.5 Carbon is now available in two color options - black or red are the colors - and the Bolide is available in various Shimano or Sram configurations. The highest quality equipment reduces the weight of the complete bike to 12.2 kg. If you want to customize the bike, Pivot also offers a frameset.
