Bikes For all Ridersįinally, with a staff that is more than a quarter women, Pivot has developed expertise creating bikes that are highly suitable for smaller riders. The frames are stiffer and more durable because of these bearings, in conjunction with the overall linkage design. The use of larger EnduroMax bearings means that they last longer and that the frame runs more smoothly. Oversized BearingsĪnother element that is a differentiator for Pivot is their use of over-sized bearings. This design additionally gives the front derailleur a more stable and rigid mounting surface. Pivot was the first bike company to do away with problems in the location and angle of derailleur mounting by mounting it directly on the front triangle of the frame.
The bearings are within a completely sealed sleeve, in light composite resin. It does not contain any external washers or threads in the shell. This system is used to improve the support of the bearings and their alignment. The result is that the design is stronger and lighter, with a low front-end height and optimal flexibility. The LES, Mach 4, March 5.7, Mach 6, Mach 429, and M4X models all have lower OD of 56mm and upper OD of 44mm, with a 1.5 zero stack headset. This technology does not require all the refining once it comes out of the mold, resulting in a stiffer and lighter frame.įrame design standards that were created by Pivot and are used by the company include: Tapered head tube Traditional methods leave frames needing hours of work to fill imperfections with epoxy. The carbon frames used in Pivot bikes are manufactured via hollow core internal molding. Pivot Carbon TechnologyĪnother key factor when people choose this bikemaker is Pivot carbon technology. Plus, it’s a snap to get forward momentum coming out of corners and when sprinting, as well as when ascending hills, whether standing or seated. This system makes it easier during hard pedaling, with its position-sensitive anti-bob. Probably the ultimate point of focus when people talk about what sets a Pivot apart from other bikes is its dw-link™ suspension, which is its proprietary suspension technology.
