Pivot Mach429 Carbon Test Winner


429C1

This carbon speed machine has taken a smoothly neutral suspension design and bolted it into one of the stiffest 29er frames we’ve ever ridden.
When you add a full all-mountain/future-proofing feature list that includes extensive frame armouring, the result is a super precise, trail tough, high velocity weapon that aggressive riders will love.
Final group test verdict
All bikes on this test score highly, but if we had to pick a favourite frame from the foursome though it would have to be Pivot’s new 429 Carbon.
It’s not heavy, but it’s perfect proof that weight isn’t everything when you’re trading it for proper trail toughness and jaw dropping stiffness. 
Add super controlled suspension and a spot-on handling balance and you’ve got a bike that’ll properly reset your flat-out riding limits.
