Why We Like The Pivot Switchblade Pro XT/XTR Mountain Bike
Designed with the quiver-killer mentality, we use the Switchblade Pro XT/XTR Mountain Bike when we don’t want to compromise between plow and play. With 142mm of DW-Link driven travel, we’re equally comfortable taking the Switchblade for an all-day pedal on trails like the Whole Enchilada here in Utah, or for lapping gnarly tech trails in places like Bellingham. Pivot kept the head tube angle in line with modern trends on this mid-travel 29er, only it’s slightly towards the steeper end of the spectrum at 66 degrees in the low setting. This makes it extremely reactive for jibbing off every trailside takeoff in sight, or navigating the tight switchbacks that can be found near Pivot’s HQ in Phoenix.
This particular build features high-end parts from Shimano and Fox, boasting a hybrid XT/XTR drivetrain and brake spec for consistent performance and a lightweight feel. The Fox Factory 36 GRIP2 fork lets this Switchblade ride to its full potential in downhill scenarios, with 160mm of confidence-inspiring travel. Bomber XM1700 hoops from DT Swiss absorb vibration and hold up over time, and a steep 76-degree seat tube angle provides an efficient climbing position for you to spin to your heart’s content.
*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
