Versatile mid-travel trail bike at home in a wide variety of terrain.
Multiple mounts for water and gear
Excellent suspension
Pivot's premium prices
Another victim of creeping trail bike weights

Pivot once again has a new Switchblade, which Pivot claims has a lot of small changes that add up to a big difference.

Mit dem Pivot Switchblade Team XX AXS Transmission 2024 wird der Alleskönner neu aufgelegt. Wir haben das Trailbike für euch getestet.
Confidence inspiring
Excellent suspension
Classy design
Efficient climber
Tires don’t do justice to the bike’s potential
The cables rattle slightly
Can feel too direct and too stiff
Feb 2024 · Dario DiGiulio
The Switchblade receives geometry updates and a few frame refinements for 2024.
Nov 2023 · Ron Koch
This modern mountain bike exudes confidence and performance on every part of the trail.
Jun 2023 · Mick Kirkman
The Switchblade lives up to its billing and is a sharp tool for cutting through the trails
Pivot’s Hollow Core carbon frame is one of the lightest in the category
Suspension fork leaves little to be desired
Geometry feels a bit dated
Slightly hectic ride quality
