The 2016 Pivot Mach 429SL Carbon XT/XTR Pro Complete Mountain Bike weighs in a half pound lighter than its venerable predecessor, the 429 Carbon, so it flies up climbs, bombs descents, and offers a stage for your skillset on technical trails. Paired with a build kit consisting of FOX cushioning, a Shimano XT/XTR drivetrain, Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes, a Boost front axle, and a set of smooth rolling DT Spline hoops, this bike is already race-capable.
Pivot achieved that massive weight reduction with its proprietary hollow-core, internal-mandrel technology, the same process that was employed for the original 429 Carbon. Pivot scrutinized its 429 layup, refining both the structure and the composite materials used. As a result of those efforts, the podium-hungry Mach 429SL Carbon is one of the lightest full-suspension frames Pivot has ever made, and it gets there without any sacrifices to stiffness or ride quality.
The Mach 429SL Carbon features proven DW-link suspension design, which yields 100mm of smooth travel while also counteracting speed-sapping pedaling forces. This translates to consistent contact with the trail and race-worthy acceleration. Get out of the saddle and stomp on the pedals, and you’ll be amazed at the grip you get on loose dirt. Pivot worked closely with FOX on the Float Kashima Factory shock tune, so the 429SL's suspension and shock combine to provide travel that’s responsive, predictable, and uses every available millimeter. As with prior iterations of the Mach 429, you’ll feel like you’re riding a bike with much bigger travel.
Full-length internal cable routing, including internal routing for a dropper post, keeps everything tidy and quiet with sleek, clean lines. This frame can be paired with a 100mm fork for pure XC speed, but here it’s presented with a FOX 34 Factory 29in 120mm Kashima Boost fork for increased confidence and versatility on rough trails. The Boost front axle further complements this, increasing front end stiffness for better tracking. The longer fork will slacken the ride a bit, but with DW-link suspension in back, the Mach 429SL rides high in its travel, so you won’t experience any front-end wobbles on climbs.
