Pivot Switchblade Ride

DESCRIPTION

The Switchblade was designed to offer a bike ready to conquer the mountain in all its aspects.
Progressive geometry expands performance while maintaining the versatility that made the first version of the Switchblade so valid.
Always with an eye to the design able to inspire confidence, it has been shortened, straightened and made more steep the saddle tube of the Switchblade to allow the use of forks with longer excursion.
The Switchblade was already a bike ahead of time and the new Switchblade brings the concept of versatility even further.
The extraordinary versatility of the new Switchblade and its ability to overwhelm the category redefine the performance on every type of route. From the flow paths of the bike park to the most challenging backcountry routes, the Switchblade amplify the capabilities of each cyclist and excel on any route.

The Pivot Switchblade is a crackling bike, and you can see it from the first pedal. Thanks to the dw-link suspensions, designed by the guru Dave Weagle himself, there is no doubt about where this indescribable amount of energy comes, nor how to make the most of it. The Switchblade answers this question, giving a boost to every jump and every asperity in sight.
