Pivot Phoenix Team XX DH AXS Bike is Pivot's World Cup downhill race bike, developed with Pivot Factory Racing over more than a year of prototype testing on the DH circuit before reaching production. The Phoenix replaced a predecessor that spent years on World Cup podiums, and Pivot pushed this version through the same gauntlet, breaking prototypes at events like Crankworx Rotorua to gather the data that shaped the final geometry and suspension. This Team-level build pairs the Phoenix frame with Sram's wireless XX DH AXS Transmission, priced at $10,499.

Suspension runs through Pivot's DW6 design, a six-bar linkage developed with suspension engineer Dave Weagle, delivering 210mm of rear travel from a mid-high pivot layout built for square-edge bump compliance on rough World Cup-style tracks. A dual-idler, dual-chain drive keeps the system quiet and low-friction while virtually eliminating pedal kickback through the travel. Reach adjusts from 430mm to 525mm across the Phoenix's frame sizes, and a flip chip lets you switch the geometry between a high setting for technical, rocky tracks and a low setting for maximum speed on straighter descents.
Up front, a RockShox Boxxer Ultimate fork runs 200mm of travel through a Charger 3.2 RC2 damper with Butter Cups, a friction-reducing bushing system paired with RockShox's LinearXL air spring for a coil-like feel with strong mid-stroke support. Out back, a RockShox Vivid Ultimate DH shock handles the Phoenix's 210mm of rear travel, tuned for supple small-bump response and tunable bottom-out control when the track gets rough enough to push the suspension deep into its travel.
The drivetrain is where this build stands apart from most downhill bikes on the market. Sram's XX DH AXS Transmission shifts wirelessly and electronically, built specifically for the impact and reliability demands of downhill racing, and pairs with a purpose-built CS797 DH 7-speed 11-24 cassette for tight, consistent gear steps rather than the wide range a…
