Sick bike and good to see 27.5 isn't dead. I'm still on a 27.5 Commencal Meta AM and still liking it. With that said, My 2021 Meta AM 29er shows up next month, and I'm curious to see how it feels compared to my 27.5 Meta AM.
Thanks for the review. I'm going to demo this bike out tomorrow. I'll be doing a 1,800 ft climb and descent on a pretty chunky trail which should suite this bike very well! I'm comparing it to my Switchblade. Based on your review it's not going to be great at climbing.
This video's comments on climbing conflict with other reports. The definition of DW Link is a specific anti-squat profile that is pretty high...I'd like to see both the lr and as curves for this frame.
Just ordered. Will be here in 60 days. Planned on getting a Bronson and went WAY over budget (I'll be eating pb&j til June) but Santa Cruz said they're not shipping 2021 until summer. Never imagined I'd drop that kinda cash on a bike, but my God what a gorgeous bike it is. Commencal Clash was my other option, and considered YT Capra and Canyon Torque, but ultimately I wanted to go with my LBS despite the premium and I'm glad I did. Fortunately it's in Delaware so at least I'll save on the sales tax!
Have you tried this as a mullet? I'm in the market for a 'diet enduro' bike for northern california. Lots of climbing, lots of gravity. Was hoping the mach 6 might be the right bike
Surprised to hear that this new M6 is sluggish on the flats and climbing.. My 2016 M6 has different linkage and climbs amazingly.. I enjoy the climbing as much as the descent..
No problems at all with heel strike for us with size 45 shoes, and that's also been my experience with both the Switchblade and 429 Trail. Both the chainstays and seatstays curve in quite dramatically - you can see a bit of that profile around the 2:54 mark.

Very beautiful and like the components! Mullet option is also something good.
Beautiful thing! Love the mullet option too. Expensive af! But wow what a bike

Your reviews are the best. Great videography and crisp and to the point narration.
Sweet review. Great videography. Thanks.

@@alexisalaric6941 That sounds illegal. Do your parents know you're on the internet?

I could watch that wall ride all day. Man that looks fun. Bummer it’s on the other side of the world from me. Lol.
Where was this bike test ridden? If I ever get to Australia I would like to hit this trail! It looks amazing! Be as specific as possible
I love that bike
What it doesn't keep bright is the non-carbon frame flame. Same with almost all Pivots, unfortunately.

Happy new year
Where did you test that bike Wil? Do tell if you can 🤙🏻
How long is the delivery time? If it's anything like my 429, you'll be waiting for at least six months.
Yeah I wouldn’t trade my switchblade.
Are the pivots good for heavy riders
How many ports are on the bike to which you could attach a toolkit, Co2 cartridge, etc?
Surprised to hear that this new M6 is sluggish on the flats and climbing.. My 2016 M6 has different linkage and climbs amazingly.. I enjoy the climbing as much as the descent..
Yeah looks like a pretty different geo ... Guess the switchblade is more trail/all mountain and this more bike park
Yeah. I have never heard of a Pivot being sluggish with pedaling.
Woud it hold me?, i weigh 140kg?
On another note.. have you done any testing/review on the Supercaliber?
Certainly have pal - full review on the Supercaliber is coming to flowmountainbike.com very soon - keep your eyes peeled for that one! [Wil]
do you think you can review the reid horizon 2.0 its a super cheap mountain bike and yeah
can you please
With that Super Boost spacing I wonder how big the problem is striking your heel a lot while riding?

Where can you find it listed as a frame on its own? Cant find it on the Pivot site nor any online retailer
It isn’t available as a frame only yet
I love it ❤️
No shuttle guard 😭
surprised it isn't slacker .. 65 seems wrong for a bike like this
Muck 6
The 165 will destroy this easy!
Another joy division knock off shirt!?!
Mullet or man bun…you decide.
