trail riding, Pivot’s Switchblade is a versatile ripper with a
huge advantage no matter where you shred. As a long travel PRO XO1 EAGLE 27.5”+
29er, the Switchblade is a next-level enduro bike that begs
for fast, steep, and technical trails. As a 27.5+ machine, the
Switchblade combines spider-man traction with the shortest
chainstays in the category for the ultimate all-terrain, all-
conditions ride.

At the heart of the Switchblade’s dual personality is a full
carbon chassis featuring Pivot’s new long and low geometry
combined with ultra short, huge clearance chainstays,
resulting in high-speed stability through chunky terrain and
effortless split-second manuals over seemingly impossible
obstacles. The Switchblade incorporates a Phoenix DH-
inspired double wishbone rear triangle and ultra-stiff linkage
design, resulting in the absolute stiffest frameset available in
the trail category.

We focus on utilizing the best attributes of the dw-link® for the
ultimate in enduro/trail performance, with dw-link®’s anti-squat
and variable wheel ravel path making the Switchblade an
incredibly capable technical climber.
