Pivot Firebird 29 Ride SLX/XT Air review

avr. 2023 · James Vincent

The Pivot Firebird 29 utilises DW-link suspension offering 165mm of travel, and is paired with a 170mm travel Fox 38 Performance fork.

Points forts
  • The suspension. The basic Fox 38 Performance was easy to set up and just worked.

  • And the DW Linkage at the back was great at both pedalling and soaking up the bumps without wallowing.

  • The ride. Fast and playful when you want it to be, stable and assured the rest of the time.

Points faibles
  • The brakes. Even after multiple bleeds and multiple fresh sets of pads, I still couldn’t get the SLX brakes to work very well. They really held the potential of the bike back.

  • The tyres. EXO+ casings and hard compounds have no place on a bike like this.

  • Better sealing on the bearings. The bearings all showed rust after cleaning and the main bearings had serious play after 3 months’ use.

Bike Review | Pivot Firebird TEAM XTR COIL

oct. 2022 · Spencer Astra

The Pivot Firebird has had my eye since 2021 when, in its launch video, the Tempe, Arizona-based company teased their hot new long-travel 29’er by way of Eddie Masters calmly licking an orange ice cream cone during an FBI interrogation. Orange, it became clear, would be a defining aesthetic of the bike across all colorways. After thoroughly testing, another thing is now clear: This bird can fly. After riding other Pivot bikes such as the Switchblade and the Trail 429, I was curious how the Firebird, with its similar suspension platform, would feel with more travel. I debated on sizing (this model runs very large), and eventually decided on a medium. My longstanding desire is to find the ultimate one-bike quiver—a bike that can climb efficiently while still inspiring confidence and comfort down steep, unforgiving terrain. From the first ride, I’ll admit that I was fully smitten by the Firebird. Climbing aboard the Firebird feels as though it has 140 millimeters of rear suspension, as opposed to the true 165 millimeters it boasts. The brilliant design of the DW link suspension employs a startling amount of anti-squat, using the chain’s force to prop up the bike's rear end. The steeper the climb and the more torque through the pedals, the more the Firebird supports you. This sensation is especially impressive when taking into account how incredibly supple the Fox Factory DHX2 rear shock is off the top of its stroke. Drop the bike onto the ground from just 12 inches and watch the coil dive into its travel. Still, in what seems like magic, the Firebird feels snappy and taught while slogging uphill.
