Founded by engineers highly innovative pivot cycles influences a whole new generation of mountain bike design and carbon frame manufacturing.
High pivot mountain bikes. Clean low maintenance durable frames that won t kill your wallet. There is a reason that high pivot. First the high pivot then the high pivot gearbox with a low center of gravity. A higher placed pivot can alleviate this problem by creating anti squat as a result of the rear wheel pushing the bike forward at a point close to or below the main pivot and this is probably what is putting this design back in the spotlight once again at least in the downhill world.
It s more stable capable and forgiving than an xc race bike and. Laura s new ride is a pivot mach 6 carbon. The pivot trail 429 is a short travel 120mm trail bike with the relaxed geometry and sturdier parts of longer travel bikes. The effect of the high pivot point on the trail is profound.
The resulting rearward axle path moves the rear wheel away from impacts maintaining forward momentum. This for us is the ultimate ascending and descending machine. Tired of what is really the same old bikes year after year. The guys at deviate say a chain idler has allowed for precise optimisation of the suspension characteristics for potent climbing calibrated for pedalling efficiency without compromising downhill performance.
Everything you need to know by placing the main pivot high above the chainring and routing the chain up past the pivot with an idler pulley its high pivot arrangement. Designed from the ground up with the sole focus of creating the world s most capable trail bike. The all carbon highlander boasts 140mm of rear travel 29 wheels balanced geometry and a progressive leverage curve. World class athletes from high school league racing to the olympics pivot cycles believes deeply in supporting athletes at every level of the sport.
The highlander is equally at home covering ground on an epic journey across a mountain range or smashing out laps at your local bike park. The high pivot is said to bestow descending capabilities far greater than what you might expect from a 140mm travel bike. Pemberton and beckett have both been in the mountain bike industry for many years now and pemberton actually had a large role in one of the newest high single pivot downhill bikes that recently.
