Expirience with the Pivot Switchblade Team XX AXS Transmission

Ludwig Döhl With 160 mm of travel on the fork, the Switchblade Team is a bona fide enduro rig. The DW-Link rear suspension yields considerably less travel than the fork but compensates with top-notch performance. When it comes down to handling, Pivot does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Switchblade Team is ready for the majority of singletrails. When entering the saddle, the Pivot Switchblade Team conveys a balanced seating position. With the shifting components, Pivot fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. Pivot gives 10 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Pivot sizing runs small.
