The LES Fat a.k.a The Converter!

Our friends over at Mountain Flyer Mag have been braving the cold Colorado weather to put some time on our LES Fat on some fresh powder.

Mountain Flyer Magazine - "The LES Fat was the right bike to convert this fat bike skeptic to an opportunistic, occasional supporter. After over a month of riding, I’m challenged to find fault in the bike. What makes the LES Fat stand out are all the fine frame details and related versatility of the bike."

Hot Bike of The Year: Pivot Cycles Mach 6 Carbon | Mountain Bike Action Magazine

MBACTION.COM

Pivot Cycles posted a link

7 days ago

Is 'perfecter' a real word? If not, it is now!

Mountain Bike Action Magazine voted the MACH 6 CARBON their 2018 Hot Bike of The Year. Their editors had this to say about this incredible all-rounder:

"It’s an enduro bike first, but it doesn’t have to be confined to the enduro racecourse to be happy."

"It’s versatile enough for the rider who only wants one bike to do it all because it’s aggressive and light enough to handle both ends of the spectrum."

"We claimed the last Mach 6 was perfect, so I guess we’ll have to say this one is perfecter."

About

Performance, redefined.

Company overview

Pivot Cycles bikes are born from decades of industry experience and bred from a heritage of racing. Founder Chris Cocalis worked the floor in bike shops, raced BMX professionally, built bikes by hand, and saw Titus Cycles to success before turning his full efforts to Pivot Cycles in 2007.

Our full Pivot line is developed in-house at our headquarters in Tempe, AZ. Each bike model is conceptualized, designed, tested, abused, and perfected by a small group of engineers, an aerospace Ti welder, and professional racers before it hits production.

At Pivot Cycles, we push frame design and innovation to their furthest limits. We strive to provide our customers with the stiffest, most responsive, and hands-down best bikes possible.

Our bikes are our passion, and that passion does not end when our bikes leave the factory floor. We stand behind every bike that we manufacture, so do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns, and happy riding!

Please note: The most timely method of resolving queries regarding Pivot Cycles is to contact us through our website, or to direct questions to your local Pivot dealer.

Mission

The goal of Pivot Cycles is to continually provide cutting-edge products that people love to ride.
