New bike report: Pivot LES Fat

There's been a revolution brewing for a while now. A yearning for bikes that can go anywhere, ride over anything and keep coming back for more. The Fat Bike market has been steadily growing over the last few years and now Pivot have brought their offering to the table: introducing the LES Fat

Using premium, hollow core, carbon fibre construction it combines savage capability across a wide variety of terrain with blinding speed and light weight to create an off road weapon. Aaron Chase took his LES Fat to highland for its maiden voyage, Tackling trails you could comfortably take a downhill bike on, he proved fat bikes are more than capable.

Available now to special order on our B2B this is one fat bike you won't overlook. Nothing comes close to its striking looks, Bluto compatibility and superb spec. Love what you ride and ride what you love.

VitalMTB: Pivot Mach6C

Pivot USA recently sent VitalMTB a Mach6 carbon, to feature in their 2015 test sessions. In the recently published article here they describe the Mach6C as "a weapon for corners, medium hits, and the type of terrain you're likely to encounter on the majority of your trail rides"

A resounding success as far as we're concerned with the resounding conclusion that "nothing will return more bang for your buck past this price point"

Pivot Phoenix Carbon: Dirt Mag

Our brand new Phoenix Carbon featured in Dirt Mag this month, with a full review following. They spent some time with Bernard Kerr, riding both the stealth black demo bike and Bernard's own world cup race bike.

Describing the Phoenix as "lively" and with "very good communication between shock and suspension design" we can't wait to hear the full review, in the mean time though, according to Dirt "all is good... with this new bike...it comes in at a tidy price too".

Emilie Sieghenthaler rounds off the 2015 Pivot DH Team

Emilie Sieghenthaler joins Bernard Kerr and Eliot Jackson to complete the Pivot 2015 roster for downhill. Emilie has a successful career and has podium world cup finishes along with being current Swiss Champion.

We can't wait to see what this updated team can do in the 2015 season - we're predicting some great racing!

Aaron Chase signs to Pivot Cycles

As reported by Pinkbike earlier today mountain bike athlete Aaron Chase has signed for Pivot Cycles on a "multi year deal". Commenting on the signing Aaron said "I need a full line of top tier bikes and the Pivot Cycles quiver that now lives in my garage is unbelievable. It's like opening the door and seeing someone put a couple of Lambos in there"
