When going fast down the mountain is priority number one we turn to the Pivot Firebird Pro XT/XTR DHX2 Mountain Bike. Pivot's new fun-focused and podium-ready enduro trail bike gets an upgrade with redesigned geometry dropping grams and gaining speed. Made with hollow-molded carbon this bike sheds grams and gains speed everyone on the course. 165mm of plush rear end suspension can be easily tuned thanks to the Fox Float DHX2.

Shimano also takes care of the brakes on the Pivot Firebird, with 4-piston hydraulic stoppers offering plenty of stopping power for when things get rowdy. Maxxis rubber is adorned on the Pivot Firebrid with the front and rear-specific Maxxis DH line taking care of rolling duties.
