Pivot Switchblade Carbon 27.5+ Pro X01 Complete Mountain Bike 2017

With the explosion of plus size tires on the market, it was only a matter of time before the boundary pushing designers at Pivot designed their very own trail machine with voluminous rubber for steamrolling every line in sight. For 2017, Pivot takes the plus sized tires and BOOST axle standards to entirely new realms with the Switchblade Carbon 27. 5 Pro XO1 Complete Mountain Bike.

The biggest effect of the Super Boost rear hub is that the Switchblade enjoys the clearance to run traditional 29 inch hoops, or in this case, add an additional element of bump compliance and traction with 27. 5 wheels and tires. Either way, the extra wide spacing allows Pivot to go freaky short with chainstay lengths on the Switchblade, chopping them down to an astonishing 16. 85 inches by moving the rear wheel up towards the seat tube.
