For the steep, fast, chunky terrain of South Mountain's Eliminator Trail, Pivot rider Robert Drew prefers to ride the Firebird 29 for its combination of long-travel suspension, dw-link pedaling efficiency, 29in wheels, and slack geometry.

VERSATILITY & DEPTH
That's what IMB editor Ewen Turner found most impressive about the new Mach 4 SL.
"This is where the versatility lies in this bike. With a fixed post and a 100mm fork, this is a bike that could destroy the field in an XC race. However, add a little more travel and some bigger rubber and you have a precision trail bike ready to slice through singletrack at warp speed. For me, the latter is where things get interesting as I spent the day trying to find the edge of control, and universally failed to get the bike out of its depth."

Pivot Factory Racing had an amazing weekend of exciting DH and Enduro racing.
Read the full report here: https://www.pivotcycles.com/en/pivot-factory-racing-andorra-and-les-orres-race-recap
Eddie Masters MTB WON EWS Les Orres, his first EWS win! Matt Walker MTB was consistently quick as well, earning himself another 7th place EWS finish. Emilie Siegenthaler recovered enough from her recent injuries to lay down a fast time at the World Cup in Andorra finishing 4th, her first podium finish of the season. Bernard Kerr was on a flyer of a DH race run and was on pace to set the fastest time, but the dusty conditions saw his wheel slip in a corner sending him into the dirt. Even with the fall, he finished 17th. How fast would he have been if had a clean run?
Next up... DHI World Cup Les Gets!

Pivot Cycles Firebird 29
Earlier this year, Pivot filled one of the last gaps in their range with the arrival of a long travel 29er. Previously, the Switchblade had been their most progressive big wheeler, but this still had trail bike tendencies and was an excellent ride in those scenarios but not in bigger terrain. Their biggest hitting non-DH bike was the Firebird, which…
Pivot Cycles Trail 429
Pivot has wasted very little time in overhauling their range, delivering new versions and brand new models at what seems like an alarming rate. Switchblade, Firebird, Mach 5.5, Mach 6, all of these feel like they were released only yesterday. The style, engineering and even elements of geometry have been shared across the range to produce a coherent collection of…
Pivot Cycles Firebird
For Pivot, there are two big bikes of the year, the Switchblade, tested recently, and the Firebird seen here. Both obviously share the same genes, but more than that, they represent a step forward in the evolution of Pivot bikes. Boost, refined rear ends, and longer geometry bring them to the forefront of modern mountain bike design as some of…
Pivot Cycles Mach 5.5
Pivot appear to be on a non-stop bike producing mission. The last year has seen new models and revisions across the range including the well-received Switchblade and Firebird. As I write this they have done it again with the launch of their e-bike; the Shuttle, at Eurobike adding yet another bike to the range. The Mach 5.5 dropped into the…
Pivot Cycles Switchblade
2017 is an important year for Pivot, with two new bikes creating waves in the highly competitive trail and enduro market. Creators of top end bikes with price tags to match, Pivot have produced both the Switchblade and it's bigger brother, the Firebird. Both feature new geometry and new technology to create machines to make mountain bikers go weak at…
Pivot Cycles Mach 429 Trail
Straight out of the box the Pivot Mach 429 Trail screamed ‘ride me!’ Big organic carbon tubes that hint at a strength in depth and a bang up-to-date wish list of geometry numbers and frame features had me salivating. The Mach 429 Trail is aimed at the rider looking for a capable and fast trail bike with the added bonus…
Pivot Cycles LES 27.5
Subtlety has never been a strong point of mine, but at least you always know where you stand, something that is shared by the lime green LES 27.5. From the moment I opened the box I could tell this bike wanted to be ridden, and ridden fast. Pairing the bright paint job with a solid build and still coming out…
Pivot Cycles Phoenix Carbon
A couple of summers back I was lucky enough to have a Pivot Phoenix as my trusty steed on a month long alpine road trip. It performed flawlessly and is, to this day, one of my favourite downhill rigs. When I was told a Phoenix Carbon was about to rock up at the office I was both excited and a…
Pivot Cycles Mach 429 Carbon
When it comes to looks nothing gets my juices flowing more than a stealthy, muscular bike. Ogling the Pivot Mach 429 Carbon in matt carbon with blue detailing certainly had me salivating The oversize carbon frame on this bike looks like it has been bulking up on the steroids! This kind of styling and extra strength might be expected from…
Pivot Cycles Mach 6 Carbon XO1
Chris Cocalis and the team at Pivot have been working on this new 27.5 bike for the last two years. Since the launch of the Mach 5.7 it has arguably been one of the most anticipated bikes they have launched. We’ve seen it and drooled at shows, and even swung a leg over it in a car park. When the…
Pivot Cycles Firebird
Pivot have only been around for 6 years but in that time they have established themselves as a serious player in the high performance mountain bike sector. Chris Cocalis has been in the bike industry for pretty much all of his life, racing BMX at an early age, he designed his first frame at the tender age of just 16!…
Pivot Cycles Phoenix DH
Having ridden and rated the Pivot Firebird not that long ago it was a pleasant surprise to have the Phoenix arrive at the office. I had thought the Firebird was a purposeful looking machine but the Phoenix is a whole other order of burliness again. It has the bombproof looks that made it my first pick for a long road…

Time's are a-changin' once again: this time it's cross-country bikes that are getting the long, low and slack treatment and Ewen Turner is all for it! Ditch the Lycra, but keep the speed with modern XC bikes.

From a hillside in Wales has emerged a monster. Created from the warped mind of Dan Atherton, Hardline is the toughest downhill course in the world. We catch up with Adam Brayton and Craig Evans and try to understand what it takes to survive the track.
Issue 50
2018 bikes are coming through thick and fast, with a trail bike from Merida, a big travel monster from Saracen and a wild pink hardtail from Pipedream. The sophisticated Pivot Mach 5.5 gets a going over and our e-bike this month is from Lapierre. Also, we take a look at Formula's Selva forks and see if they can perform on the trail.
Issue 49
Having explored some of the more remote and mellow venues in Northern Ireland, Ewen Turner turns his attention to Rostrevor, the biggest and baddest of the trail centres. In search of steep downhill trails, long flowing descents and plenty of technical riding, it definitely doesn't disappoint!

Rebecca Parker investigates the various approaches different brands are taking regarding bikes for women. Pink and shrink it is thankfully long gone, but do women really need a specially designed bike?
