It’s been a few years since I had the pleasure of riding the previous Pivot Switchblade. This is a
model that has risen to legendary status in my mind. The updated frame has maintained many
attributes of the outgoing Switchblade but turned up the dial on speed and stability by just a few
notches. I can imagine the development team’s struggle to improve upon the outgoing bike without sacrificing its keen sense of handling and agility. Thankfully, the new bike has the same agile character with a slight tweak toward better high-speed handling and chunk-eating kinematics.
