Expirience with the Pivot Switchblade Pro XT XTR Fox Live Valve 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. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Pivot Fully is a very balanced customer. 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. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range above 8000 Eurouse higher quality components. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Pivot Fully to on very demanding single trails a buying recommendation in the price range 11699 Euro range. With 10 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
