Encompassing XC race bike pedalling efficiency and a re-worked DW-Link that gives the Pivot Trail 429 a plushness that feels greater than the 120mm of travel to extract the maximum performance. Its Hollow Core full-carbon frame has been revamped to be 300g lighter than ever, with a slacker head angle and a longer reach for increased manoeuvrability and better handling. Beyond that, its geometry can be adjusted from racy to rowdy by using the Flip Chip, to give the Trail 429 legendary sharp handling and a bottomless suspension feel for peak performance.

The Fox Factory DW-Link suspension, inspired by Pivots premiere downhill bike, promotes all-day comfort by combatting suspension bob at speed without the need for undue damping, a measure that could affect the frames capacity to absorb trail chatter. As a result, youll be able to race down the trails with the perfect balance of pedalling efficiency and plush controlled travel.

Meanwhile, the flip chip can be used to adjust the bottom bracket height for compatibility with the type of tyre best matched to the terrain you usually tackle. The frame is set up for a wide, 29 tyre that will optimise your control downhill, but flipping the chip raises the bottom bracket to accommodate a mixed wheelset or 27.5 wheels, so that youll be able to climb and change direction more easily.

Benefiting from Super Boost Plus 157 spacing, originally pioneered by Pivot, allows for shorter chainstays, which are great for tight cornering, increased tyre clearance, a stiff frame and rigid Super Boost Plus hubs, with wider flanges that promote spoke tension and wheel stiffness. The boost standard furthermore moves the drivetrain out 6mm, promoting better tyre clearance and mud shedding capabilities.

All of this adds up to sharp handling and pedalling efficiency of a race bike that optimises its progressive geometry for a plush ride that defies its numbers.

The new Pivot Trail 429 defies categorization, and smashes KOMs. Mixing the progressive geometry and handling of longer travel all-mountain sleds with the responsiveness and speed of dedicated race rigs ushers in a new breed of hyper-capable trail bike. Vital MTB.

Two different spec levels are available on the Pivot Trail 429. The Pro comes with a Fox 34 and the Enduro come with the Fox 36 for a more aggressive option.
