While you may be tempted to just stare at the Mach 4's swooping top tube and elegant striping, the magic in this machine far surpasses its aesthetics. The 2018 Pivot Mach 4 Carbon V2 Mountain Bike Frame leaves just as big of an impression on the trail, with its 115mm of DW-Link suspension, lightweight carbon fiber, and XC ready geometry, that's just as apt to tackle all-mountain trails. Better yet, the Mach 4 lands its self with the lowest standover clearance you'll find on a 27. 5-inch wheel bike, allowing it to accommodate riders of nearly any height with ease, allowing for everyone to power up hills and conquer mountains. The V2 doesn't fall short from the Mach 4 tree, so to speak, and sticks to the geometry that we love, but -- ahem, boosts its self into modern standards so it can remain future-proof for the time being. The Mach 4 Carbon V2 stays true to its roots, keeping the geometry nearly identical to its most recent predecessor. That isn't to say it remains unchanged though, making space for bigger tires and more versatility, the Mach 4 was boost-ified in the rear, stretching the rear axle out to 148mm for a stiffer, more responsive wheel, up to date with new hub standards, and allowing for the clearance needed for running up to a 2. 6-inch tire. The bigger space, and wider tire, means you can run lower PSI in the large volume, keeping traction locked to the ground through loose and wily corners, and giving you just a little bit more squish when you roll into rock gardens that buck you a little bit more wild than you were expecting. Hard corners and off-camber landings don't have to sketch you out on this XC machine--its built to be stiff and hold up to it all. It may come in as a lightweight, weighing in at only 5. 1lb, but its meticulous carbon layup doesn't compromise on stiffness. With hollow-core technology, and high modulus carbon fiber, the frame achieves its vibration-damping stiffness with vigor, showing its prowess through tough terrain, trac...
