The new Pivot racing machine from Emilie Siegenthaler

On her Facebook account, the best Swiss downhiller, Emilie Siegenthaler, is offering her last year's race bike for sale. Now it's clear why: Pivot has unveiled its new downhill bike, the Phoenix Carbon. The frame is another 300 grams lighter than its predecessor. In the video, the team riders show what is possible with the racing bike.

The new Pivot Phoenix has been given a complete overhaul. The frame has become a whole 300 grams lighter, while the frame geometry has been optimized and the stiffness and stability have been retained. The influence of the Pivot Factory Racing Team is clearly noticeable. The rear end no longer sags when pedaling, the steering angle has also been flattened and the bottom bracket lowered.

Long and flat is the theme of the Phoenix, with 204 millimeters of travel. At the rear, the team riders rely on the new Fox Float X2 air shock. Rubber frame protectors have been installed on the down tube and head tube, which also serve as mounts for the internally routed cables.
