Expirience with the Pivot Mach 4 SL Pro XT/XTR

Ludwig Döhl What would the world of mountain bikes be without the brand Pivot? It would be devinitv poorer off. Because Chris Cocalis is also constantly driving the development in bike sports with bikes like the Mach 4 SL Pro. With its geometry, the Pivot Fully is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Downcountry-Bike von Pivot, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Downcountry-Bike 8299 Euro with higher quality components. A good argument for the Mach 4 SL Pro: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 10 years warranty Pivot sets the bar high! Pay attention when selecting your size: the Mach 4 SL Pro sizing runs small.
