Trails and riding styles continue to evolve, and with that, geometries continue to progress. Mountain bikers are a fickle bunch, we want bikes that descend like mini DH sleds and climb like XC machines. Pivot updated the Mach 6 Carbon Pro XT 1x Complete Mountain Bike with tweaks to its geometry, making it more capable downhill, yet the DW-Link suspension works so efficiently, it still pedals very well. Pivot received feedback from its enduro racers and owners. After extensive testing, it created the perfect combination of progressive geometry for high-speed chunder with enough agility so you don't feel like you're parallel parking a limo on tight trails. We're used to seeing bikes excel at the bookends, but it's rare to find one that does both so well. The Mach 6 is ready to crush your next enduro, help you progress in the park, or knock out that big weekend epic with the crew. If you are between the Mach 5. 5 and 6 and are trying to figure out which way to go, both bikes are similar on paper in terms of travel but the Mach 6's geometry and build situate it as more of an all-mountain and enduro bike and the Mach 5. 5 is a pedal-all-day, aggressive trail bike. The Mach 6 Carbon kicks the head tube back to a more stable 65. 75 degrees, and the bike's reach and wheelbase get stretched out a bit, too. Descending, you'll notice that you feel more "in" rather than "on" the bike. The longer and slacker treatment makes the bike rally down high-speed sections and technical terrain with the confidence usually reserved for DH bikes and dual-crown forks. What's amazing is that this imperturbable nature on the downhill doesn't take away from the flickability and pedaling often lost on longer-travel bikes. Climbing up long fireroads and steep, punchy singletrack is aided by the steeper 74-degree seattube angle and longer cockpit as it keeps the front wheel on the ground and you in a more powerful pedaling position. Pivot hails from Tempe, AZ, and they build bikes that are j...
