Expirience with the Pivot Switchblade Pro XT XTR

Ludwig Döhl The Switchblade is one of the most coveted enduro bikes on the market. The reason: A harmonious geometry and a first-class rear end guarantee riding fun even on rough terrain. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Pivot. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 10 years warranty Pivot sets the bar high!
