Summary
The Pivot Mach 5.5 is a versatile trail bike praised for its balanced performance, excelling in both climbing and descending with its efficient dw-link suspension. It offers agile handling, high traction from 2.6-inch tires, and a comfortable ride quality that inspires confidence on technical terrain.

"a real mountain biker’s mountain bike"Bicycling
"The Mach 5.5 dances on the trail with an exceedingly poppy, playful attitude that begs to be manualed, slid around corners and pointed toward trailside extra-credit treats"
BIKE Magazine"Seriously rapid. Up or down hill, pumping terrain, popping out of turns and pounding over rock and root, nothing seems to erase the Pivot’s pace."
MBR"The Pivot Mach 5.5 is a high-end bike for those in need of a faithful companion for long trail adventures."
Enduro Mountainbike Magazine"In a time when many are riding their trail bikes harder and harder, Pivot's new Mach 5.5 Carbon steps up to the challenge and succeeds in a big way."

Pivot now offers the The Pivot Mach 5.5 with the brand new FOX Live Valve system. But does the bike need FOX’s high-end electronic suspension?
Easy and predictable handling
Very comfortable
Excellent rear linkage
Rear tyre lacks grip
A little sluggish in acceleration
Not made for rough, high-speed terrain

PIVOT MACH 5.5 Words & Photos by Andrew Lee Pivot bills the Mach 5.5 as a Plus-tired do it all machine, but as skeptics, we’re tired of hearing every brand’s bold claims about the ultimate all around performing bike. Despite our skepticism, we have spent lots of time

The Pivot Mach 5.5 is almost an enduro bike, has the essence of an XC bike, looks plus-sized, but remains lithe.

With the Pivot Mach 5.5 the brand waited seven years before deeming itself ready to bring out the successor its most popular bike ever, the Mach 5.7.
Warp trail speed in every direction.
The BB is a hair too high.

The back of this trail bike is the business end with 140mm travel and a speedy Maxxis Rekon 2.6 tire, while the front is the party with 160mm travel and an aggressive Minion DHF. - Mtbr.com
