With the explosion of plus-size tires on the market, it was only a matter of time before the boundary-pushing designers at Pivot designed their very own trail machine with voluminous rubber for steamrolling every line in sight. In 2017, Pivot took the plus-sized tires and BOOST axle standards to entirely new realms with the Switchblade, and it's back for more this year with the Switchblade Carbon 27. 5+ Race X01 Eagle Complete Mountain.

Pivot takes Boost axle standards to entirely new realms with the advent of their Super Boost Plus rear axle spacing. Poking fun at the upward escalation of hub spacing, ""Super Boost Plus"" refers to Pivot's choice to employ a 157-millimeter rear axle, which in turn allows for increased tire cle...   read more
