Like a bird with a tailwind.

Building on the success of its predecessor, the 2016 Pivot Mach 6 Carbon X01 Complete Mountain Bike features a handful of updates inspired by Pivot's downhill firebird, the Phoenix, to bring it in line with the trend towards bigger, slacker, and more DH-inspired enduro profiles. It comes outfitted with a SRAM X01 one-by drivetrain, powerful SRAM Guide RS hydraulic brakes, plush Fox suspension package, and a smooth rolling set of DT Spline hoops.


The frame's updates are focused primarily in the rear triangle, where the Phoenix's influence is most apparent. The double wishbone rear triangle is clearly carrying some downhill DNA, and it's combined with an ambitious upper linkage design that's 40% wider and engages the frame with larger bearings. Pivot continues the oversized trend in the rear axle with the new Boost 148mm standard, ushering the Mach 6 into the modern era of enduro, where tech seems to always be straddling the lines between trail riding and gravity. The cumulative effect of these changes is a claimed 150% increase in rear triangle stiffness, meaning that — though the new Mach 6 leaves a wide, DH footprint — it still climbs more like a four-inch XC bike.


The DW-Link suspension design controlling the Mach 6's six-inches of travel also does its part to maintain a secure climbing hold on rocky trails. Its anti-squat tendencies maintain a firm pedaling platform while cleaning terrain-riddled cruxes or picking lines with abandon across trail furniture. That responsiveness is matched on the opposite end of travel with a square-edge capacity that feels virtually bottomless, so time saved on the climbs isn't lost because of overly cautious descending.


Pivot's hollow-core internal molding process returns unchanged for uniform, controlled wall thicknesses and material distribution. This process virtually eliminates inconsistencies and resin pooling, increasing structural integrity while targeting areas for weight loss. The frame's slacked-out geometry and stubby, 17in chainstays mean it's slack enough to challenge lines across enduro rock gardens but nimble enough to pick its way through eight-inch terrain — all while sticking climbs and roosting berms with an eagerness that begs to be pushed to the ragged edge of control.
