Rallying the New Pivot Switchblade with Aaron Chase and Mason Bond 1

Chase and Bond get the first ride on the new Pivot Switchblade in Sedona, Arizona, putting the bike's 29 and 27.5+ options to the test on some incredibly technical trails.

"Purpose-built to meet the demands of enduro and aggressive trail riding, Pivot’s Switchblade is a versatile ripper with a huge advantage no matter where you shred. As a long travel 29er, the Switchblade is a next-level enduro bike that begs for fast, steep and technical trails. As a 27.5+ machine, the Switchblade combines spider-man traction with the shortest chainstays in the category for the ultimate all-terrain, all-conditions ride."
