Strobel picked up a ride with Pivot for 2012, and he's pumped on it. His Phoenix DH rig has a 63 degree head angle thanks to a 1 degree Cane Creek Angleset, and 207mm of rear travel via the DW-Link and a RockShox Kage Shock. At race weight it's just 37 pounds and regularly gets sideways in the turns and in the air.
