Pivot Cycles (Germany) – "We at Pivot Cycles are excited to be celebrating 10 years of Performance Redefined. To commemorate this anniversary, we are introducing the Mach 5.5 Carbon Anniversary Edition. Only 300 of these special bikes will be available world wide. See it in person at Eurobike booth B1-406", shared the company.

Pivot Cycles was launched as a start-up at Interbike 2007, with the original Mach 4 and Mach 5 models and just a handful of staff. In the intervening years, the company has expanded to over 50 employees, and now boasts a complete lineup of off-road models – designs that have graced the top steps of podiums ranging from World Cup Cross Country, to the Red Bull Hardline to the Fat Bike World Championships.

“I can’t express how much it means to me to mark Pivot’s 10th Anniversary. From the first year, with just two models and a lot of big plans, to now, with a full range of mountain bikes, an incredible roster of world class athletes, and customers around the world – it’s been a great ride, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” said Pivot’s founder, President and CEO, Chris Cocalis. “Looking forward, we are as excited for the future as we were the day we started business, and the next decade is going to be even more exciting!’

"This limited and numbered edition of our versatile, high-performance trail bike features a special Pivot Cycles 10th Anniversary paint, Race Face Next SL carbon crankset with custom graphics, matching Fox 36 fork and Fox Float Factory DPX2 rear shock, special WTB Volt Team saddle with Anniversary graphic and custom rail color, and Anniversary Edition Reynolds Carbon wheels with custom, laser etched Pivot 10 Year Anniversary logos and blue anodized-to-match, Industry 9 hubs. Only 300 of these specially painted and spec’d versions of the Mach 5.5 Carbon are available for purchase", explained Pivot.

On descents, the Mach 5.5 Carbon’s incredible square edge bump performance and 160mm travel Fox 36 enables you to conquer terrain that makes other bikes cower.
