Pivot Switchblade Ride GX/X01 Mountain Bike - 2024, Medium

The 2024 Pivot Switchblade Ride GX/X01 strikes a sharp balance between big-mountain capability and trail-friendly efficiency. With 142mm of DW-Link rear travel paired to a 160mm fork, it thrives on technical terrain without feeling overbuilt for everyday rides. The carbon chassis is impressively stiff and snappy, and Pivot’s latest geometry tweaks—slightly longer reach, steeper seat angle, and a more neutral head tube—make this version more planted on climbs and better poised on descents. Outfitted with a smart blend of SRAM GX / X01 12-speed components, the drivetrain offers reliable performance without tipping into boutique pricing. This build rolls confidently on wide 29er wheels and comes stock with Maxxis tires—aggressive enough for enduro days, but still fast-rolling for big trail loops. If your rides swing from steep tech to high-speed flow, the Switchblade remains a versatile all-mountain weapon with few compromises.
