Introducing the Pivot Cycles Mach 5.5 Carbon 1

With an eye toward the future, Pivot Cycles proudly presents their all-new Mach 5.5 Carbon trail bike. Catch the intro videos then jump over to our in-depth First Ride feature discussing the bike's finer details and ride qualities.

"The new Mach 5.5 Carbon builds on the legacy of Pivot's renowned Mach 5.7 Carbon as the quintessential trail bike. With 140mm of dw-link rear travel, it sticks to and claws up just about anything with unparalleled pedaling efficiency. On descents, the Mach 5.5 Carbon’s incredible square-edge bump performance and 160mm travel FOX 36 fork enables you to conquer terrain that makes other bikes cower. It’s a bike that inspires you to climb while looking forward to the descents and that begs you to push your limits while putting a smile on your face."

Pivot Cycles owner and head of engineering, Chris Cocalis, and the legendary Aaron Chase also took the new Pivot Mach 5.5 Carbon for a spin on Phoenix's famous South Mountain trail system. Renowned for its technical challenges, this is the perfect place to learn about what the Mach 5.5 Carbon has to offer:

"The original Mach 5.7 Carbon was the most popular, best loved bike we’ve ever produced. We wanted to update the design, and knew that it had to be absolutely perfect for all the riders out there waiting for the next generation," said Pivot Cycles President and CEO, Chris Cocalis. "The Mach 5.5 Carbon embodies everything that made the original rise above the competition, with key updates to make it a true next-generation trail bike – it features our trail-adapted long and low geometry, an evolved mid-travel linkage for incredible small bump compliance, an all-new carbon layup with lighter weight, higher modulus materials, and clearance for up to 2.6-inch wide tires."
