The Pivot Switchblade is a high-performance full-suspension mountain bike, engineered for versatility, speed, and technical trail domination. Designed to excel on aggressive descents while maintaining exceptional climbing efficiency, the Switchblade is incredibly versatile and is perfect for riders who want a do-it-all machine that thrives on everything from backcountry epics to enduro stages and bike park laps.
Equipped with 160mm of front travel and 142mm of rear travel, the Switchblade delivers a balanced, confidence-inspiring ride. Its DW-Link suspension system, paired with a Fox Factory shock, enhances traction, control, and efficiency, keeping the bike planted and composed over rough terrain while maximizing pedalling power. The progressive geometry—featuring a low bottom bracket, long reach, and slack 65.7° head angle—ensures stability at speed without sacrificing agility on technical climbs.
The Switchblade comes standard with fast-rolling 29-inch wheels, providing superior rollover capability and momentum. However, its adjustable flip-chip system allows riders to swap to an MX (mullet) setup (29” front / 27.5” rear) for a more playful and manoeuvrable ride.
Constructed from Pivot’s premium carbon layup, the Switchblade is both lightweight and incredibly strong, making it one of the most durable and efficient all-mountain bikes available. It’s offered in multiple high-end build kits, featuring Shimano XT/XTR and SRAM X0 drivetrains, ensuring flawless shifting and braking performance.
