Details

Pivot’s roster of world class DH and Enduro athletes had tons of input into the 155mm-travel Mach 6 Aluminum. The 27.5-inch wheels, slack head angle, short chainstays and low BB height all add up to incredibly versatile and capable bike that proves aluminum isn't dead. Pivot worked for three years to develop next generation, variable wall thickness, hydroforming technology that allows them to create highly complex tube shapes that were previously only achievable in carbon. Pivot is obsessed with stiffness, they know it means the difference between winning and losing, holding your line or ending up in the chunder. And they nailed their frame standards for stiffness, power transfer and perfectly dialed suspension performance, culminating in a bike that raises every rider’s ability to conquer aggressive, technical trails.

DW Link.Each dw-link frame is engineered for an optimum wheel rate and to work for a specific use with a specific spring and damper. Unlike other suspension systems, dw-link’s does not rely on pedaling platform type dampers, giving excellent bump absorption and traction. You can use this to your advantage and pump terrain in the trail to add momentum.

As your suspension reacts to obstacles, the position sensitive dw-link axle path intelligently changes to meet the demands of the trail. In the beginning of the travel, its rearward profile gives incredible small bump absorption and traction on the climbs. In the middle of the travel, the dw-link axle path works with the front suspension to provide a balanced feel for cornering confidence and jumping control. The end of the travel provides an increase in compression damping for bottomless suspension feel and big hit absorption.

dw-link uses short, stiff links, aligned in the direction of incoming forces, and a triangulated rear swingarm. This layout aligns suspension forces in the most efficient layouts possible to enable frame designs with industry leading strength-to-weight ratios and stiffness.
