The Pivot have taken the Mach 5.7 and completely redesigned it. They have increased the travel to 5.7 inches. They have also dropped the weight of the bike by half a pound, this is done by shaving weight from areas like the shock tubes, bottom bracket forging, lower yoke area and drop outs. However the 5.7 is 20% stiffer the the Mach 5 thanks to an increased diameter top and down tube. A lower bottom bracket height, more relaxed geometry and slightly taller headtubes add up to better stability and increased rider confidence on the trail and on the race course.

The Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon Frame takes everything that made the Mach 5.7 award winning, and recreates it in Carbon. Featuring dwlink suspension and the amazing Fox RP23 rear shock Kashima coated and custom tuned rebound and propedal setting.

The original Mach 429 received the MTBR.com award for best 29er and Mountain Bike Action readers picked it as the #1 choice for their next 29er. The combination of Pivot design and dw-link® suspension makes for a bike that accelerates, descends, climbs, and corners unlike any other 29er made- and now it just got better! Therefore you will be happy to hear the New Mach 429 is both lighter and stiffer. The frame lost over ½ pound in the process of redsign, resulting in the Mach 429 being an efficient riding 29er full suspension frame and super lightest!
