Lighter and more nimble than an enduro sled, yet capable enough to take on the gnarliest trails on the mountain is the 2023 Pivot Switchblade Pro X01 mountain bike. This speedy 29er trail bike is built to go anywhere and ride anything, be it an all-day ride deep in the mountains or some laps at the local jump trails or bike park. With 160mm of front travel and 142mm in the rear, this goldilocks bike tackles everything from cross-country trails to black diamond downhills. Pivot’s carbon expertise gives us a light but strong carbon frame with one of the lowest warranty rates in the industry. The frame is complemented by Pivot’s DW-Link suspension platform that pedals efficiently and absorbs chunky square-edged hits that would normally rob us of our momentum.
