Pivot

Switchblade V6 Carbon Frame

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"This frame is one of the most versatile platforms I've ever ridden. Whether I'm charging down chunky desert tech or linking up a 6,000-foot climb, the dw-link suspension delivers unreal pedaling efficiency without compromising big-hit capability. The adjustable flip chip lets me tweak the geometry for the day's terrain, and the frame feels just as good in a mullet setup as it does full 29."

We chase big climbs and chase down even bigger lines, and the Switchblade V3 frame gives us the freedom to do both with one machine. Pivot's refined Hollow Core Carbon construction delivers the low weight we crave for long hauls and high-efficiency fire road grinds. Matched with a vertically mounted trunnion shock and 142mm of dw-link suspension, it's a frame that climbs like a trail bike but feels unstoppable on descents.

The newest Switchblade also gets meaningful updates that matter to riders like us. A flip chip lets us dial the ride feel to our preference-or swap between full 29 or a mullet wheel setup without compromise. Clearance for a full-size water bottle, Pivot's Tool Dock compatibility, and size-specific chainstays round out a platform that's ready for daily trail missions and rowdy weekend epics alike.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
