Expirience with the Pivot LES SL Race XT

Ludwig Döhl The LES SL Race XT is one of the most extravagant race hardtails in the world. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Pivot LES SL Race XT. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. When entering the saddle, the Pivot Hardtail conveys a balanced seating position. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Racebike of Pivot is probably not the right bike for you. The LES SL Race XT has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. With 10 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
