Pivot Switchblade V6 Team XX Eagle Transmission

The frame is built around Pivot's Hollow Core carbon construction — front and rear triangles in carbon fiber with a size-specific tuned layup, meaning the XS and XL aren't just different geometries; they have their own tube thickness, profile, and carbon arrangement designed to deliver a consistent ride feel across the size run. The DW-Link platform has been substantially redesigned for the V6, with a longer lower link that produces a more rearward axle path through the stroke. That geometry change translates to better tracking on square-edge hits — roots, embedded rocks, abrupt ledges — and more reliable traction on technical climbs where the old linkage could feel reactive. All main pivot points are cold-forged 7000-series alloy loaded with Enduro cartridge bearings, machined sequentially on a 4-axis CNC for the tight tolerances that make suspension feel what it is. A two-position flip chip at the upper seatstay pivot adjusts bottom bracket height by 6mm and angles by half a degree, letting you dial the geometry toward a more efficient pedaling setup or a more aggressive descending position depending on what the day demands.

The suspension package is FOX Factory front and rear: a FOX 36 Factory with GRIP2 damper at 160mm up front, and a FOX Float X Factory handling the rear. GRIP2 gives you independent high- and low-speed…
