Pivot once again has a new Switchblade, which Pivot claims has a lot of small changes that add up to a big difference.

The more time you spend with Pivot’s founder Chris Cocalis, the more you realize that ‘good’ will never be good enough. Nowhere is that on display better than the latest Pivot Switchblade. By most accounts, the previous version was more than just good enough.to be better. That relentless pursuit of perfection is what makes a Pivot a Pivot, and it has yet again taken one of their already-impressive bikes and made it even better. At first glance, the new Switchblade doesn’t look all that new.

And if the new Switchblade is what we can expect as a result, it seems that Pivot has truly set itself up for success. , the Switchblade was what Pivot envisioned as a “big travel 29er.” The definition of a long-travel 29er has changed since then , but the original Switchblade was an important bike in Pivot’s history. Not only was it one of the models that Cocalis says “really made a big leap in the size of the company,” but it also ushered in the era of Super Boost Plus.

That change has resulted in a more rearward axle path to improve square edge impact performance and results in the rear wheel digging in harder while climbing. This is the second generation Switchblade with a vertical shock layout which gets everything low on the frame, allows for better standover, shorter eye-to-eye length with trunnion shocks, while still fitting full-size water bottles and room for the Pivot Tool Dock System, and allows for XS frames.
