With 160 mm of travel on the fork, the Switchblade Pro is a bona fide enduro rig. The DW-Link rear suspension yields considerably less travel than the fork but compensates with top-notch performance. Thanks to a moderate 65,2 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. At the seating position, Pivot combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Switchblade Pro. 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 8299 Euro . We like: 10 years warranty on the frame! Pay attention when selecting your size: the Enduro von Pivot sizing runs small.
