The Phoenix is a World Cup missile, but it also works amazingly well at the bike park.
MTBRThe Phoenix really excelled when the trail was dynamic, with the large downtube anchoring the bike through high-speed berms and encouraging controlled, quick maneuvers on machine-built trails.
Vital MTBPivot's ability to capitalize on such elements help this bike excel when podium positions are separated by mere tenths of a second.
