Pivot Mach 6 Pro XT/XTR Coil Mountain Bike Stealth, S

With unparalleled support the new Pivot Mach 6 Pro XT/XTR Coil Mountain Bike boosts over gnarly terrain or big gaps while keeping the flow going.

Pivot emphasizes dropping the fork down to 150mm if a 29in wheel is installed, but we'll be keeping the 160mm. Kit on the new Mach 6 is as dialed as ever with a mix of Shimano XT and XTR components. Featuring the Shimano Hyperglide system, the drivetrain works together to create the easiest and most reliable shifting system out there. DT Swiss takes care of wheel duties with the ever-reliable 350 hubs and 1700 series hoops. A large 30mm inner rim diameter supports the max-frame-allowance 2. 6in rubber and creates a tire profile that gets grip in all sorts of conditions. Maxxis supports rubber duties with the ultra-grippy Assegai tires in a 2. 5in width front and rear, allowing for supreme contr...
