Pivot demo day with Cycle Surgery - Woodbury Common, Exeter

Looking good and ready to go.

Yesterday was an absolute cracker for the Pivot demo day with Cycle Surgery Exeter. We pitched up early at Woodbury Common, car park "number 2". The trails are situated just west of Yettington and if you haven't discovered them yet they're a haven for fast flowing singletrack with a surprising number of jumps and drops that impressed every level of rider.

Choose your weapon.

I was joined by the team from Cycle Surgery, Exeter - Adam, Spencer & Glen who were on hand to spanner bikes, lead rides and meet & greet. Thanks for your help boys - much appreciated!

Riders ready...

Everyone was blown away by the performance of the bikes and everyone commented on one particular outstanding feature of Pivot Cycles - how well they climb. All bikes were constantly in demand and out on demo, with most riding at least two models. The Firebird and Phoenix really created a stir, with folk absolutely stoked with their versatility and fun factor.

A few existing Pivot owners also turned up to support the event and join in the fun. Thanks folks!

Pivot = Smiles

Two of the Cycle Surgery stores are Pivot Pro Shops - their Exeter branch and Spitalfields, London.

Spitalfields are hosting a Pivot demo day on Sunday 2nd June at Peaslake, Surrey. More details to follow soon. We look forward to seeing you there!
