If we could only have one bike, it would be the Pivot Switchblade. The Pivot Switchblade is one of our favorite bikes due to its ability to be perfectly suited to handle almost any trail. Pivot revised the Switchblade this year, giving us more capable geometry across the board to increase our capability on the trail and drive home the quiver-killer characteristic.

Next, the Fox Factory Float X features multiple adjustments so we can tune our ride quality, and it has a custom tune from Pivot for e...
