Pivot Presents The Mach 5.5 Carbon

Beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona is the perfect place to test the Mach 5.5 Carbon. Not many people outside of the area know that Northern Arizona is home to both one of the largest ponderosa pine forests in the world, and to hundreds of miles of singletrack, all on the shoulders of the extinct volcanos of the San Francisco range. You can go for hundreds of miles in almost any direction, without leaving the trail. The Mach 5.5 Carbon is the perfect machine for tackling the technical lava rock and long climbs in this incredible location.

The New Mach 5.5 Carbon builds on the legacy of our renowned Mach 5.7 Carbon as the quintessential trail bike. With 140mm of dw-link™ rear travel, it sticks to and claws up just about anything, with unparalleled pedaling efficiency. On descents, the Mach 5.5 Carbon’s incredible square edge bump performance and 160mm travel Fox 36 fork enables you to conquer terrain that makes other bikes cower. It’s a bike that inspires you to climb while looking forward to the descents and that begs you to push your limits while putting a smile on your face.
