Expirience with the Pivot Mach 4 SL Pro XT XTR 120mm Fork

Ludwig Döhl With its 120 mm fork, the Mach 4 becomes a real trail rocket. The potent DW-Link rear end can easily keep up with the fork even with a little less travel. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Pivot Downcountry-Bike. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. In the price range of under 8000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Mach 4 SL Pro. The guarantee of 10 years proves that Pivot is behind its products.
