Expirience with the Pivot LES SL Team XTR

Ludwig Döhl The LES SL Team XTR is one of the most extravagant race hardtails in the world. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. On climbs, other bikes in the above 8000 Euro present a little better performance than the Pivot Hardtail. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. Pivot knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 8399 Euro . We like: 10 years warranty on the frame!
