PIVOT 429SL MED | ||||
 | Seller: MFB Starting bid/Asking Price=$4500.00 can't say it any better than MTBR.com: Pedaling: Pivot’s interpretation of the dw-link suspension design is a little plusher than others we’ve ridden, but it still offers the anti-squat characteristics we’ve come to know and love with these bikes when the pedals are pushed. Out of the gate, the Mach 429SL feels plenty snappy and pedals bob-free in the Trail mode on the Fox CTD shock. In fact, we rarely found the need to use Climb on the shock, simply because the anti-squat does most of the pedal-bob resistance for you. Climbing: The anti-squat characteristics couple perfectly with the short-travel frame to provide a bike that loves to dig in and claw its way up technical terrain. The 29er hoops are surprisingly lightweight, thanks to carbon rims and a smart and racy tire setup, which makes this bike want to ascend that much more. We only felt the need to put the shock or fork in the “Climb” mode on fire roads or paved sections, simply because the bike felt so efficient on any singletrack in the Trail or Descend modes. Cornering: The Mach 429SL sports a relatively short wheelbase and chainstay length, matched with a racy 69-degree head angle. This makes the bike feel lively and quick on the trail, just like a race bike should. While many 29ers feel cumbersome in tight corners and switchbacks, this bike proved its mettle by making it through our tightest test tracks. Descending: This is a cross-country bike, and it should be treated as such. It ascends like a banshee, and we wouldn’t balk at giving it a good review even if it made our best test riders pucker on the descents. We’re happy to say, however, that this wasn’t the case. BUYING ADVICE This bike is light enough to dice it up on a World Cup cross-country course and designed well enough to hang with bikes with much more travel. It is impressively stiff on the trail and puts every bit of power to the wheels. It’s a cross-country bike, but we’d be hard-pressed to find one with more range than this. The 429SL delivers excellent suspension performance and a dialed geometry that’s rivaled by few. The price tag will be a barrier to entry for some, but Pivot offers several build packages with the same excellent frame performance at a greatly reduced price. The Pivot Mach 429 is a race-ready cross-country bike with some serious trailbike chops.
