Expirience with the Pivot LES SL Race X01

Ludwig Döhl The LES SL Race X01 is one of the most extravagant race hardtails in the world. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Pivot. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. On the downhill, however, the LES SL Race X01 is left in the dust by its competitors. With 10 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
