Expirience with the Pivot Switchblade Team 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. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Pivot Enduro. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Enduro of Pivot wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on very demanding single trails, the Pivot Enduro is one of the best models in the on very demanding single trails category. With 10 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
