Expirience with the Pivot Switchblade Team XX1 AXS

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. Pivot is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. When it comes to the seating position, Pivot chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. Considering that in the range above 8000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 10 years proves that Pivot puts a lot of trust in its products.
