'12 Pivot Cycles

Take your descending and climbing to the next level with Pivot's shred-ready Mach 5.7 Carbon. When you're pushing the pedals up a steep grade, you'll appreciate the low weight of the carbon frame and the ruthlessly efficient power transfer and traction of the dw-link rear suspension. Once you get to the top and point it downhill, the 5.7 Carbon really shines. Its 145mm of plush Fox travel, tapered head tube, 142x12 rear through-axle and dialed geometry all combine to let you slice and dice corners and sail confidently down the rowdiest tech sections. Up front, a Kashima-Coated 150mm Fox fork gives you point-and-shoot steering precision and silky travel. And, a Shimano 2x10 XT group spins sweet DT Swiss wheels that are hauled down by powerful XT discs. An FSA bar and post keep the rest of the build light and strong.
