Expirience with the Pivot Switchblade Pro XT XTR Carbon Wheels

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. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Switchblade Pro. 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. With shifting systems, other manufacturers in the price segment above 8000 Euro continue to top up to the shelf. But the Enduro of Pivot still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Pivot installed higher-quality wheels. The guarantee of 10 years proves that Pivot is behind its products.
