Pivot Switchblade Pro X0 Transmission Mountain Bike
Pivot Switchblade Pro X0 Transmission Mountain Bike, From flow trails to rocky, technical chutes, the Pivot Switchblade is the Swiss Army Knife of bikes perfectly suited to excel on most trails. With 142mm of DW-Link suspension travel, the Switchblade lands in that gray area between an enduro bike and an aggressive trail bike.
