The Pivot Switchblade V6 Ride GX Eagle Transmission Bike occupies the space between trail bike and enduro machine without apologizing to either camp. Built on Pivot's Hollow Core carbon V6 chassis with 142mm of rear travel and 160mm up front, the Switchblade climbs efficiently enough for all-day days in the mountains and descends with enough composure and stability to take the line you actually want rather than the one that seems safe. This is the sixth generation of a bike Pivot has been refining since it became a staple in the all-mountain conversation, and the updates show: slacker head angle, steeper seat tube, longer wheelbase, and size-specific chainstays that stay tight and responsive in smaller frames while growing incrementally on larger ones.

The suspension is dw-link, Dave Weagle's patented four-bar linkage system that Pivot has built their trail and enduro lineup around for years. The rear shock is a Fox Performance Float X, vertically mounted in a trunnion metric configuration. In practice, the dw-link delivers low pedaling bob without requiring a climb switch, progressive end-stroke support when things get rowdy, and genuine small-bump sensitivity throughout the travel. The Fox 36 GRIP2 fork runs 160mm of travel with a 44mm offset — GRIP2 gives you independent high and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment, which matters when you're dialing the bike in for different terrain. This is a capable suspension package that doesn't require upgrades to perform.
Flip Chip and Wheel Compatibility
The Switchblade V6 includes a flip chip that adjusts geometry on-trail without tools — it changes the head tube angle between two positions in the 65.2–65.7° range, shifts the seat tube angle, and alters chainstay length accordingly. Beyond geometry, the flip chip unlocks wheel size flexibility: the Switchblade runs 29/29 out of the box, but is fully compatible with mullet setups (29" front, 27.5" rear) or full 27.5" configurations without geometric compromise.…
