Summary
The Pivot LES is a high-performance cross-country bike known for its stiffness, efficiency, and adaptability, with models offering unique features like swappable dropouts and advanced carbon materials. While it excels in power transfer and handling, some models face criticism for weight and limited suspension travel in rough conditions.
Fast, stiff and ruthlessly efficient for XC races
Swappable dropout system for geared or singlespeed setups
Legendary attention to finer details in frame design
Adjustable dropouts for multiple wheel and tire size compatibilities
Engineered for maximum handling, extreme power transfer, and weight efficiency
Not the best choice for rough events
Adds a lot of weight for geared setups
Frame weight is not competitive for an XC race bike
Limited sizing with only three sizes
Few tire options for 27.5 fat bike wheels
This bike takes everything you’ve got and transfers it straight to the trail. And it transfers whatever the trail is dishing out right back to you…it’s that stiff.
BikerumorIn the social order of fat bikes, the Pivot LES Fat is that kid who was born beautiful and given everything essential for success.
Mountain Flyer"The LES SL is the perfect hardtail trifecta of lightweight, stiffness and ride quality that lets racers excel at the highest levels."
