Need more details? Thought you would. Here's more details from our first look on the site: www.pinkbike.com/news/pivot-mach-6-carbon-aluminum-first-look.html
that a bike company can produce this many high end bikes with so much cross over in purpose is an indication of just how big the mtb market has become. we are at peak MTB. you heard it here first.
Would love to see a review and comparison of the Mach 6 vs others such as the HD4, Intense Recluse/Tracer, YT, and others. Going to pull the trigger on one soon!
How about flagging you can’t slam the dropper post on the L and XL carbon versions? Kind of important if your enduro racing or running very steep stuff.
MLO VISUAL, check out Cube's full suspension bikes. They cost $2000+ but they will ride for 10+ years. Norco is also a brand on the lower price spectrum.
Well, there's pedaling a new bike to a location and then there's actually riding the piss out of a bike. I did the former. Can't claim to have really ridden or tested a bike until I've spent weeks doing long rides. Cheers.--VF
1 overpriced. 2 fatigue fractures over short time. 3 Carbon has to be scanned regularly to verify integrity. 4 Super easy to over tighten and crush and prone to delamination. Never ever buy a used carbon part with out a certified scan and even then no fricken way. Carbon is super cheap yet the prices are rediculous.
But have you ever ridden one to tell the difference. They are infinitely stiffer and a lighter. I have 3 carbon bikes and not a single one has cracked or been harder to take care of then any aluminum bike that I have had. Non of those things happen if you take care if them or USE A TORQUE WRENCH

This guy is absolutely hilarious! Lost it when he said “dude I gotta go coil”
Vernon should do a lot more bike checks
Need more Vernon bike checks and tests please.
In the mix!
Thank you, my question was answered in the first 70 seconds. They run short in this year 2017.
I need a Mach 6 vs Mojo HD vs Bronson vs Enduro vs Slash video/test please.
where is the long term review?!!
I like the music, pretty chill. Perhaps tone it down a bit in volume?
we need the long term review!!!
This was so well done.

Y'all ever do a writeup on the test bike?

Cyrus the virus is my favourite pinkbike presenter
Nice and well explained! What about the new Rocky Mountain Slayer?
We'll write that one down...it's a sweet bike.
Pinkbike it is!

Are Santa Cruz, Intense and Pivot like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati respectively in the car world?
Paran01ac pretty similar. And Rocky Mountain is Porsche.
Actually Santa Cruz would be more like Lamborghini since they are both owned by the same group.
What’s the Toyota and Honda of bikes? Because i need something that’s affordable and rides the same as the Lamborghini of bikes
MLO VISUAL, check out Cube's full suspension bikes. They cost $2000+ but they will ride for 10+ years. Norco is also a brand on the lower price spectrum.
And VW and GM are like Specialized and Trek being huge!
1:53 is that a crack?
Nope :)
So when can we expect the long term review?
It's in the works, just need some better weather over here and then we can start riding loads!
Dudes! Sup with the review?! The Ripmo was just launched and already reviewed.
Wich size is it and how tall are you ?
Hey Fabz, this model is a large.
sounds like a bit of a long travel aggressive trailbike
Awesome
New Mach 5.5 and 6 are sick bikes. Must suck to own the old Mach 6 now, so short.
hobmarg the old Mach 6 is awesome. Doesn’t suck at all having an awesome bike even if new one is better.
Your begter of stealing one and selling off the parts. Tazer to the trail...fire sale
Out in the middle of no where wearing mtb clothing with a high end bike and claims not to have ridden it. Ya ok dude.

Biggest scam in the cycling industry is carbon crap.

WHY???
