Pivot Cycles XC Bikes

Wickedly Fast. Ridiculously Fun. Our line of LES hardtails has been ridden to victory in professional races around the world. The LES 27.5 is a hardtail aficionado's dream machine. Our latest addition to the LES line-up features an ultra-light chassis with BMX-like handling and the rollover advantage of bigger wheels, all in a snappy, fast-accelerating package that fits a wide range of riders. World Cup Performance for Every Size of Rider The LES 27.5 brings uncompromising performance to riders from 4'10" to 6'1". The LES 27.5 is a revelation of optimized geometry, stand-over clearance, weight, and ride tuning. By including sizes Small and Extra-Small in the range, we've got a LES model to properly fit every size rider who seeks bigger wheel performance. Size-specific carbon molds enable us to use smaller diameters and unique carbon layups to build lighter frames that maintain the same high strength in a more compact frame design. The more compact frame design of the LES 27.5 also makes it possible to build a sub-19.4lb (8.79kg) race bike—an advantage for everyone, but even more so for small riders seeking the best power to weight ratio. The New Standard in Hardtail Performance The lightweight LES 27.5 sets a new standard for stiffness and power transfer. Marshaling our proprietary hollow core, internal–mandrel process, and a custom layup incorporating new, high-modulus carbon fibers, we've created a ride-tuned hardtail that transfers your every watt into pure speed. The LES 27.5 features an oversized, box-section downtube and bottom bracket area, stiffness-enhancing Boost 110 and 148 front and rear spacing, as well as meticulously engineered seat and chainstays. Out on the course, those features add up to amazing power transfer, razor-sharp handling, and a surprisingly forgiving ride quality that staves off fatigue and saves you energy on even the longest courses.

The Racer's Edge On the right course, nothing is faster than a hardtail, and nothing delivers the stiffness to weight ratio and raw speed as a Pivot LES SL. The LES SL is engineered to the Nth degree to deliver the kind of handling, extreme power transfer, and low weight that transforms every last watt of output into a race-winning performance. A New Paradigm in Hardtail Performance A tenth of a second gained here, a hundredth there, over and over across the length of an hour and a half long cross country race really add up at the finish line. The LES SL is up to three-quarters of a pound (that's 300 grams!) lighter than it's already svelte predecessor making it a racer's dream that can turn seconds saved into minutes—all while retaining the quality and handling that has pushed Pivot athletes to cross country race wins at the elite level across the world. With new carbon dropouts, an integrated headset, and new layup schedule utilizing Hollow Core Molding Technology and cutting edge carbon materials, the LES SL is by far the lightest hardtail we've ever built. Pivot's race-winning hardtail legacy takes a quantum leap forward with a lighter, faster, and sharper-edged tool with only one goal in mind: getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. Progressive XC Geometry When a bike racks up wins and course records in races around the world and is the weapon of choice for our World Cup XC, Tour Divide, and 24-Hour racers every time the course is smooth and fast, you know that geometry is dialed. That's why the LES SL retains the same great fit and handling that has made the LES a favorite with our elite racers across multiple disciplines. New school cross country race geometry relies on slacker head angles, shorter stems, and longer reaches for the kind of stability that excels over the longest races and technical World Cup race courses with razor-sharp agility that makes it a short track racer's advantage.

When LES is More Elegantly simple yet deceptively fast, the LES Singlespeed masters the chess game of riding with one gear. The racy lightweight DNA of the LES SL combined with our proven Swinger II dropout system creates a Singlespeeder's dream ride. Explosive efficiency, precision handling, and all-day comfort—the LES Singlespeed makes the most of every move so that one speed is all you need. Singlespeed Aficionado Approved Best in class stiffness to weight ratio and power transfer that makes the LES SL a race weapon also exists in the DNA of the LES Singlespeed. Powering up the steeps is efficient and rock solid. And, the LES Singlespeed has that legendary Pivot ride quality and compliance that the LES line is known for—the kind that saves energy over the long haul and keeps the bike planted, quiet, and predictable over all surfaces. Uncompromising Singlespeed Performance A little singlespeed magic happens when you combine the unapologetic power transfer of the LES SL with our proven Swinger II dropout system. This patented dropout design offers hassle-free gearing changes and super-fast chain tension adjustments thanks to its indexed adjusters. Swinger II's dual pinch bolt design securely locks the dropouts in place for the ultimate in reliability. And, unlike eccentric bottom brackets, geometry and saddle height are maintained.

Gravity Defying Cross Country Rocket Ship The Mach 4 SL is designed to let World Cup level athletes capitalize on every inch of increasingly technical courses and generate speed where others hesitate. Our engineers have pushed the boundaries in every conceivable metric of cross country performance. It's the lightest, fastest 100mm travel XC race bike we've ever developed. Go ahead, turn yourself inside out and leave it all out on the race course because the new Mach 4 SL leaves nothing on the table. Weighty Goals Cross country racers know that every gram counts. Pivot's engineers didn't set out to cut a few grams—they insisted on slashing hundreds. Starting at 1845 grams, the Mach 4 SL takes a front-row seat in the ultralight full suspension category and has the best stiffness to weight ratios we've ever created. The new Mach 4SL is over 300 grams lighter than its feathery predecessor, the Mach 429 SL—that's 3/4 of a pound! Optimized tube shapes, a more compact frame design, exotic hi-mod materials, and a dual upright, reinforced swingarm push strength and stiffness while allowing weight to be shaved everywhere. More weight evaporates with an integrated headset and race-proven carbon suspension bearing pockets that leave almost no metal in the frame. Steep climbs and sharp accelerations never felt so good—or fast. Short or Tall, it Fits Them All Proper fit is critical to maximizing our body's output, so we made sure the Mach 4 SL fits the widest range of riders and all genders without compromise. The extra-small size fits riders down to 4'10" with a lower standover height than even our Mach 4 Carbon with 27.5" wheels, and the extra-large size fits riders up to 6'7" tall. A shorter stack, longer reach, and steeper seat angle put you in a powerful position to churn out the watts mile after mile. Size-specific carbon layups and shock tunes make sure all riders experience the same cutting edge performance and ride across the size range.
