Expirience with the Pivot Mach 4 SL Race X01

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. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Pivot Downcountry-Bike is a very balanced customer. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 8000 Euro that would suit you better. 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 6749 Euro . The guarantee of 10 years proves that Pivot is behind its products.
