News just in from Pivot as they launch the new Mach 429SL…
PHOENIX, Arizona – Dec 12, 2014 – Racing is a new game and the half pound lighter Pivot Mach 429 SL Carbon is the bike riders need when the course tests both engine size and handling skills.
Pivot has dropped over 226g via the use of leading-edge carbon fiber and their proprietary hollow-core, internal-molding process with optimized composite materials and lay-up structure – making this the lightest, stiffest 29er with the best power transfer available.
The Pivot Mach 429SL Carbon is only the second fully Di2 integrated mountain bike (the first is Pivot’s Mach 4 Carbon). Featuring our innovative Pivot Cable Port System, internal routing is easy to install and maintain with large, easy to access ports and interchangeable covers for the cleanest installation of wires, batteries and cables.
Riders benefit from the latest in dw-link® suspension design with a Fox Float Kashima Factory shock, performance-tuned specifically for the Mach 429SL Carbon. World Cup level efficiency is provided by dw-link®’s anti-squat characteristics, instant acceleration and unparalleled climbing traction. Downhill, the 100mm of dw-link® suspension performs like a longer travel bike, for an incredibly capable ride in technical terrain and ready for record-setting descents.

Good grief that’s ugly
“We’ll update with UK pricing once we get it.”
Please, don’t put yourselves out. We can wait.
However, looks like I’ve gotta get me some of that ‘rubberised leather’ to help with my Enduro squats.
I’ve never seen a Pivot that isn’t revolting.
I think they squshed their bike together.
Jesus wept, that is spectacularly bad!
