Pivot Mach 4 SL Team XX T-Type Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

Why We Like The Pivot Mach 4 SL Team XX T-Type Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

Putting in the miles or putting down the competition, we love the Pivot Mach 4 SL for its versatility, race-centered design, and recent improvements in geometry and capability. Pivot revamped their cross-country race bike to be more capable without losing sight of its race origins. Featuring a slacker headtube angle, a steeper seat tube angle, a longer wheelbase, a redesigned rocker link with a flip chip that gives us more travel, and a lighter-weight carbon frame, the Pivot Mach 4 SL now has the ability to take on whatever we can throw at it. Now sitting on 106mm of DW-Link suspension, the Mach 4 SL gives us more confidence in rougher terrain, is still super efficient, and incorporates a flip chip into the rocker link that allows us to change the travel to 115mm for more capability. With a 66.7-degree head tube angle when equipped with a 120mm fork, we are more confident when the trails point downwards and still have precise and nimble handling. A longer reach and wheelbase also allow us to be more stable on the descents, and a steeper seat tube angle puts us in a more efficient pedaling position to make short work of the technical climbs. The redesigned Pivot Mach 4 SL is faster, lighter, and more capable than ever, providing us with the confidence and enhanced performance we need to take our riding to the next level.

The Team XX SL Transmission AXS Carbon Wheel build of the Pivot Mach 4 SL is top-tier and features the lightest weight and most advanced components on the market. Pivot´s premium carbon frame went through a weight loss program this year, shaving 280 grams over the previous version while maintaining the strength and stiffness needed for aggressive cross-country racing. SRAM´s XX SL Transmission AXS drivetrain provides flawless electronic shifting, a super-light carbon crankset, and features an overload clutch that can automatically move out of the way and realign itself in the event of a crash. For a pair of race-ready wheels, Pivot slapped on the Reynolds Blacklabel 309/289 XC carbon rims paired with Industry Nine Hydra hubs to give us a lightweight and reliable wheelset. The Team build is equipped with a Fox Factory Float rear shock for lightweight performance that is adjustable and has great small bump sensitivity, and a Fox Factory 34 Step-Cast fork with 120mm of travel that is lightweight, adjustable, and capable. The RockShox Reverb AXS gives us top-tier changes in saddle height without the cables, and premium Maxxis Rekon Race tires are lightweight and roll fast.

*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
