Pivot has dropped over 226g via the use of leading-edge carbon fiber and our proprietary hollow-core, internal-molding process with optimized composite materials and lay-up structure, making the Mach 429SL the lightest, stiffest 29er with the best power transfer available.
The Pivot Mach 429SL Carbon is only the second fully Di2 integrated mountain bike (the first is Pivot’s Mach 4 Carbon). Featuring our innovative Cable Port System, internal routing is easy to install and maintain with large, easy-to-access ports and interchangeable covers for the cleanest installation of wires, batteries and cables.
Our race-winning, trail-slaying Mach 429SL Carbon geometry is tried, tested and confidence-inspiring. On the uphill, you benefit from the latest in dw-link® suspension design with a Fox Float Kashima Factory shock, performance-tuned specifically for the Mach 429SL Carbon. You can expect World Cup level efficiency provided by dw-link®’s anti-squat characteristics, instant acceleration and unparalleled climbing traction.
Downhill, the 100mm of dw-link® suspension performs like a longer travel bike – an incredibly capable ride in technical terrain and ready for record-setting descents, enhanced by the precise feel of 12 x 142mm rear spacing and the rollover qualities of the 29 inch wheel.
The Mach 429SL Carbon is designed to work with 100 to 120mm forks, allowing for perfect rider optimization: shorter for your cross country weapon, longer for the ultimate in trail-handling.
Our mountain bikes feature the PF92 bottom bracket. Collaboratively developed by our engineers and Shimano, this allows for wider pivots and better bearing support, both of which contribute to increased frame stiffness and strength.
Other essential details include post mount disc brake mounts for easy set up and weight savings, direct mount front derailleur for perfect shifting, stealth dropper compatibility and Enduro Max cartridge bearings throughout.
