Pinkbike's Review of the Mach 6

" Pivot's Mach 6 Carbon is one of the most enjoyable bikes we've had the opportunity to test-ride. It feels light under saddle, accelerates with a quickness that is rare in the all-mountain category and it climbs like a goat. We have come to expect those attributes from Pivot's mid-travel trail bikes - that is what designer Chris Cocalis does best. What we did not anticipate was the leap that the Mach 6 Carbon has made beyond its predecessors in its descending and technical performance. Pivot's latest creation is already gaining respect among the sport's top riders for its outstanding versatility and it will no doubt be touted by many owners as the "one bike to rule them all." The Mach 6 Carbon could do well in pro-level enduro competition and with a competent rider on board, it can shred DH trails. But you don't have to go big or go home to enjoy the Mach 6. Assuredly, its strength and capabilities far exceed the genre, but it is genuinely enjoyable in the role of a trail bike - and if the climbs are technical enough, and you have the legs, the 155-millimeter Pivot may earn you a KOM or two. Speculation aside, we came across a Mach 6 Carbon owner during testing who summed up this entire review in two words: 'Eternal smile,' he said. 'That's all you need to write about this bike.' - RC "

Waxing Poetic Over the Mach 6

The Mach 6 is inspiring riders to ride and write... poetry.

Macky Franklin, a Pivot sponsored rider was so blown away by the Mach 6 he could not help but wax lyrical about it. See the link below and enjoy.

Privateer review 429C - Rad in the Alps!

Ross Tricker takes the highly capable 429C to some extreme trails in the Alps for the Pass’Portes and is more than a little surprised.

.....it can be a bike for many occasions from Marathon racing to lift-accessed trail riding. If you only have one bike, that makes it a very attractive proposition indeed.
