Pivot's LES 27.5 strikes the balance of stiffness, tuned compliance, and pedaling performance in a lightweight carbon hardtail. The full carbon frame with modern XC geometry dissects the tightest race courses with scalpel-like precision while handling technical descents, rollers, berms, and jumps like no XC hardtail should. The frame can fit 2.3-inch tires easily, and full internal cable routing keeps things nice and neat. The Race XT 1x build features a dependable 1x11 drivetrain from Race Face and Shimano, a Fox 32 100mm fork, and Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes to deliver high-performance fun no matter where you choose to ride.
