Pivot Mach 5.7 Frameset 2011

The best pedalling trail bike on the market just got better. We took the critically acclaimed Mach 5, and completely redesigned it for an even greater rider experience.

For starters, we increased the travel to 5.7 inches. Next, we dropped the weight of the bike by half a pound by shaving weight from places like the shock tabs, bottom bracket forging, lower yoke area and drop outs. Yet the Mach 5.7 is 20% stiffer than the Mach 5, thanks to increased diameter top and down tubes on the front triangle, forged C-channel uprights on the rear triangle and beefy 8 cartridge bearings throughout. 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.

Design Features

• Tapered headtube
• Lower stand-over heights make for a more compact frame with a lower center of gravity and an overall increase in frame stiffness.
• 92mm wide bb shell, compatible with Shimano, SRAM/TruVativ GXP, Race Face, FSA, and Enduro bottom brackets. 92mm shell allows for wider pivots and better bearing support for increased frame strength and stiffness while maintaining better control over the chainline.
• Revised direct mount front derailleur to accommodate upcoming XTR. Fully compatible with SRAM (S3) front derailleurs. The direct mount design ensures perfect front derailleur location, easier set up and a more rigid mount for the most efficient front shifting possible.
• New shock tab design with integrated cable guides and clean cable routing as well as a cleaner look and lighter weight.
• New Pivot ISCG 05 adaptor plate compatibility for use with single ring set-ups.
• 140mm or 150mm fork compatibility.
