Pivot Cycles
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Look Pivot all day
- I would by the pivot because it’s made by a real hike company with dealers and a warranty.
- My experience is that bikes with DW-Link suspension are the best climbers. Pivot and Ibis are the brands to look at. I own 3 Ibis bikes and my wife a Pivot for this reason exactly.
- I say this as someone who really likes pivot
- Pivots climb great
Cons
- Every alpine binding has more delta than a Pivot. It's one of the reasons the Pivot should not be nearly as popular as they are.
- A friend I made this year who is a more experienced rider (she has a Pivot that was upgraded to $9K, but she got for around $5K a few years ago)
- I don’t like pivot’s super boost plus and pressfit bb’s.
- I agree, I liked them at first but I tuned out when they seemed to spend all their time talking about how they have better values than Elon Musk. Ok, yes, that's a low bar, do we need to celebrate that every episode?
- I like him on Pivot except when he talks about sex/dating (when he’s very cringe) or when he talks about taking ketamine and getting high (also cringe).
