Expirience with the Pivot Trail 429 Race XT

Ludwig Döhl The Trail 429 Race wants to impress, especially on long tours with a lot of trails. If you are particularly thirsty, you can also mount a second drinking bottle under the top tube. When it comes down to handling, Pivot does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Pivot Fully is ready for the majority of singletrails. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Pivot Trail 429 Race has a sporty seating position. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Trail 429 Race. The Trailbike of Pivot has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. With 10 years the warranty is another neat feature.
