For 2017, Pivot carries over the much-loved geometry of its Mach 429SL Carbon Mountain Bike Frame and adds a Boost rear axle for a bump of stiff responsiveness. Boost brings the axle from 142 to 148mm, and those extra six millimeters of width serve to amplify the Mach 429SL's ability to both spring up climbs and drop in with much bigger travel rigs. It also opens up clearance for compatibility with both 29in and 27.5+ wheels so you can choose a wheelset to best meet your ride style.


As with its predecessors, the Mach 429SL enjoys a svelte, race-worthy weight thanks to Pivot's proprietary hollow-core, internal-mandrel technology—the same process that was employed for the original 429 Carbon. Pivot did scrutinize the 429 layup, though, 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 doesn't involve any sacrifices to stiffness or ride quality.


The Mach 429SL Carbon features a proven dw-link suspension design, which yields 100mm of smooth travel while also counteracting speed-robbing bob forces. This translates to consistent contact with the trail and snappy, responsive acceleration. Stand up 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 DPS Kashima 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 more travel.


Full-length internal cable routing—including internal routing for a dropper post—keeps everything tidy and quiet with sleek, clean lines. Pivot pairs its 429SL builds with a 120mm fork, and the frame can be paired with forks down to 100mm in travel to dial in on pure XC speed.
