What they say
The high strength, high stiffness carbon fibre used in the construction of this frame, which starts at just 1,845g and exhibits a short stack, long reach and steep seat angle, means that every watt of energy you generate will be conducted efficiently to the floor and converted into cadence.
The bike's fleetness is enhanced by Pivot Cycles' proprietary tube shapes and rider-specific fit, as well as its quality dw-link™ suspension. The latter pairs an air-sprung, corrosion-resistant Fox Factory DPS shock, primed for XC riding and offering 100mm of travel, with a Fox Factory Stepcast 34 FIT4 Fork, also tuned for XC riding and giving 120mm of travel. The comfortable ride experience is further enhanced by wide 29” wheels, while 148 x 12 Boost spacing, a Phoenix Team XC/Trail stem and wide yet speedy Maxxis Ardent Race 29” x 2.2” tyres maximise your handling control. As the lay of the land changes, the Shimano XT M8100 shifter works seamlessly with its matching cassette and a top-of-the-range Shimano XTR M9100 rear derailleur to effect smooth and hassle-free gear changes, without any need to curb your speed. However, should you meet an unexpected obstacle or wish for added control, lightweight Shimano XT M8100 2-piston brakes will answer your touch.
All in all, the Pivot Cycles Mach 4 SL Pro XT/XTR is a fun, light speed demon of a trail bike, offering the power and manoeuvrability needed to propel you past your opponents, without compromising on ride comfort.
