Pivot Mach 4 SL: Lighter, Faster, and More Versatile.

Pivot has launched its latest XC bike, the Mach 4 SL, with two versions offering a pair of travel options via a linkage-based flip chip. The lighter bike is aimed at marathon and less technical cross-country tracks, while the longer-travel bike should be ideal for those who tackle more technical XC racing or want a cross-country bike for everyday riding. The brand claims to have cut 300-400g from the previous-generation Mach 4 SL, across the different sizes, without losing stiffness.
