Pivot Carbon Technology

To create Pivot’s premier racing chassis, we begin by engineering for the ideal lay‐up structures, tube sections and composite materials choices, and then utilize our proprietary hollow core internal molding process to bring this best‐in‐class frame to life. This newest, even lighter, version of the Mach 429 SL Carbon features an all new Boost™ rear triangle, for a significant increases in both frame and wheel stiffness over what was already one of the stiffest, lightest and strongest cross country bikes in the world. For those seeking the top of the line in components and compatibility, the Pivot Mach 429SL Carbon is fully Di2 integrated and internal dropper post compatible via Pivot’s Cable Port System. Internal routing for any component is easy to install and maintain via large, easy to access ports and interchangeable covers.

New School Racing Geometry

On the uphill, you benefit from the latest in dw‐link® suspension design with a Fox Float DPS Kashima Factory shock, performance‐tuned specifically for the Mach 429SL Carbon. You can expect the kind pedaling efficiency our National Champions demand, provided by dw‐link®’s anti‐squat characteristics, instant acceleration and unparalleled climbing traction.

dw-link™ and Fox Factory Suspension

Mach 429SL Carbon is spec’d with the Fox Float DPS (Dual Piston System) shock custom tuned specifically for XC and Endurance racing. The Float DPS shock features settings and a design that allows for an incredibly plush feel with a wide range of damping control while also offering an extremely positive “firm” position for fast climbs. These features are direct complements to Pivot’s suspension tuning and when combined with the dw‐link’s® patented position‐sensitive anti‐squat, gives riders even better traction on steep ups and over rough trail.

Downhill, the 100mm of dw‐link® suspension performs like a longer travel bike, especially when combined with the precision of the new 12x148mm rear end, and the rollover qualities of the 29inch wheel – giving athletes the advantage in technical terrain and inspiring record‐setting descents.

To match the rear suspension, we’ve spec’d the Mach 429SL Carbon with a 120mm Fox 34 Factory fork, with a FIT 4 3‐postion damper for fine tuning performance to your exact specifications.
