The Pivot Switchblade V6 Pro X0 Eagle Transmission Bike with Carbon Wheel Upgrade is what happens when you refuse to choose between a capable climber and a committed descender. Pivot's sixth-generation Switchblade chassis runs 160mm of front travel and 142mm in the rear, a travel range that puts it squarely in all-mountain territory — light enough to pedal hard all day, composed enough to handle whatever the trail throws at you on the way back down. The V6 geometry leans into the modern playbook: slacker head angle for descending confidence, a steeper seat angle for efficient climbing position, and longer reach across all sizes for a more centered, planted feel at speed.

The engine driving the rear end is Pivot's dw-link suspension — a four-bar linkage designed by legendary suspension engineer Dave Weagle that separates braking forces from suspension movement, keeping the wheel tracking cleanly through rough sections whether you're on the gas or hauling on the brakes. The rear suspension tune on the Switchblade deliberately blends the snappy pedaling character of Pivot's shorter-travel trail bikes with the composed, progressive feel needed for EWS-caliber terrain. It pedals efficiently without sacrifice, descends confidently without feeling like a slack-angled slog back to the trailhead. Size-specific chainstay lengths fine-tune the balance across the size run — shorter on smaller frames for agility, incrementally longer on larger sizes for stability.
The Pro build is equipped with a Fox Factory 36 fork running a 44mm offset and the GRIP2 damper — one of the most adjustable fork dampers available, with independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound circuits that let you dial the fork precisely to your trail and riding style. The rear shock is the Fox Factory Float X, matched to the dw-link tune for the Switchblade's travel and leverage curve. Both ends of the suspension are Kashima-coated and Fox Factory spec — not a marketing tier, but genuinely the top of…
