We loved the previous edition of this bike, which Pivot called the Mach 429 Trail. It was a 116-millimeter-travel 29er trail bike, derived from an XC platform, that punched way above its weight. We loved exactly where it sat in the spectrum of trail bikes—not too aggressive, not too cross-country. It was quick as hell, but maintained remarkable composure when things would get nasty.
After 11 years without a lot of presence or exposure within the NZ bike market, premium mountain bike brand PIVOT Cycles is now distributed in New Zealand by Allsports Distribution Ltd.
Since Chris Cocalis launched PIVOT Cycles in 2007 they have continued to push the boundaries of what is possible in bike design and technology.
