Take charge of the mountain on a machine made for pushing hard with power on the 2018 Pivot Mach 6 Race X01 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike. With longer and lower geometry than before, the 2018 Mach 6 is designed for gobbling up rock gardens and blasting banked berms, while shaving the price down low thanks to its budget-minded alloy construction. The alloy Mach 6 sees all of the same geometry as its carbon sibling, ensuring you'll the plushest downhill-inspired DW-Link suspension you can dream of, with quick and snappy chainstays that can turn right around to power back up to the top of the mountain. At first glance at the 2018 Mach 6, you'll first find a slack 65. 75-degree head tube angle that boasts confidence with its relaxed posture, begging you to point it downhill and test just how capable it is. The bike's slacked geometry pulls you into the cockpit when you descend, maximizing your stability and control at high speeds, enabling you to roll through chunky boulder gardens and rooty treelines, and all without sacrificing stability for agility. The forward nature of the cockpit helps maintain lively handling of the bike, so you can weave through trees and tail-whip off of rollers with nimble playfulness as you charge down the mountain. With a bike that feels so good going downhill, there's just one dilemma -- how to get back to the top for another lap. Fortunately, Pivot partners with DW-link to dial in exceptional suspension design for a climb to the peak that's free of pedal bob and squat, even when we're mashing up tight switchbacks and working our way up rocky faces. Pivot's engineers ensure that you won't be stuck behind the back wheel when you're pushing your way to the top by pairing the slacked out head tube angle with a steeper seat tube angle to keep you forward on the bike for better transfer of power, and more control when you have to crank on the bars for that last push up a steep punch. The cockpit is also a bit roomier than previous generation...
