[Tested] Pivot Trail 429 - Limited Edition Enduro Build

Apr 2020 · Ian Collins

This year Pivot Cycles took the Mach 429 Trail and, mainly via spec, gave it more of an aggressive kick, thus transforming it into the Trail 429 Enduro Edition. Personally I’ve always liked the idea of ​​taking somewhat aggressive short travel 29″ bikes and replacing a meager inline shock with a piggy back shock, overforking it by ~ 10mm and beefing up the tires. Provided the bike starts out as competent in the first place, that usually makes for a really fun, and surprisingly capable bike. Well – that’s precisely what Pivot did with the Limited Edition Trail 429 on test

Pivot Trail 429 Pro XT/XTR review

Jun 2019 · Mick Kirkman

Stiff, lightning-fast and sharply-dressed machine with impeccable trail manners but a high price ticket

Highs
  • Laterally-solid chassis powers through rough sections without flinching

  • Twin-link suspension delivers efficient, punchy power delivery in any gear

Lows
  • Stiff frame highlights how the Fox 34 fork feels less solid in comparison

  • At this price, I’d expect flashier, stiffer cranks
