Bicicleta con transmisión Pivot Switchblade V6 Team XX Eagle Info
The Pivot Switchblade V6 Team XX Eagle Transmission Bike is Pivot's answer to mountain biking's most persistent debate — do you build for climbing efficiency or descending confidence? The V6 makes the case that you don't have to choose. With 142mm of rear travel and 160mm up front, driven by the sixth generation of Pivot's DW-Link suspension platform, this is a trail bike that climbs with genuine intent and descends with the composure of something considerably rowdier. At $11,399, the Team XX Eagle Transmission build pairs that chassis with SRAM's top-tier wireless drivetrain ecosystem and a spec sheet that doesn't ask you to compromise anywhere.
The frame is built around Pivot's Hollow Core carbon construction — front and rear triangles in carbon fiber with a size-specific tuned layup, meaning the XS and XL aren't just different geometries; they have their own tube thickness, profile, and carbon arrangement designed to deliver a consistent ride feel across the size run. The DW-Link platform has been substantially redesigned for the V6, with a longer lower link that produces a more rearward axle path through the stroke. That geometry change translates to better tracking on square-edge hits — roots, embedded rocks, abrupt ledges — and more reliable traction on technical climbs where the old linkage could feel reactive. All main pivot points are cold-forged 7000-series alloy loaded with Enduro cartridge bearings, machined sequentially on a 4-axis CNC for the tight tolerances that make suspension feel what it is. A two-position flip chip at the upper seatstay pivot adjusts bottom bracket height by 6mm and angles by half a degree, letting you dial the geometry toward a more efficient pedaling setup or a more aggressive descending position depending on what the day demands.
The suspension package is FOX Factory front and rear: a FOX 36 Factory with GRIP2 damper at 160mm up front, and a FOX FLOAT X Factory handling the rear. GRIP2 gives you independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound tuning — the kind of adjustability that rewards spending time dialing in a setup rather than accepting whatever the bike came with. For the drivetrain, Pivot chose SRAM XX Eagle Transmission — the top tier of SRAM's AXS wireless platform and built around the UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) direct-mount standard. The derailleur attaches to the frame's UDH rather than a traditional hanger, eliminating hanger flex and making the system meaningfully more robust in crashes and rough terrain. A 32T chainring runs against a 10-52T cassette with all shifting handled wirelessly, and the RockShox Reverb AXS dropper (170mm drop) runs on the same AXS protocol — one ecosystem for drivetrain, post, and any future components you add. Stopping power comes from SRAM Code Ultimate Stealth four-piston brakes with 200mm CenterLine rotors up front and 180mm at the rear, a brake combination that's at home on everything from flow trail to sustained technical descents. The wheelset is DT Swiss throughout: XMC 1501 carbon rims (30mm internal width) on DT Swiss 240 hubs with 36-tooth star ratchet engagement, shod with Maxxis Minion DHF front and DHR II rear in MaxxTerra EXO+ casing.
Design Benefits
- Rearward axle path DW-Link. The sixth-generation linkage redesign produces a more rearward axle path on impacts, which means the wheel tracks over obstacles rather than deflecting off them. It's a tangible improvement on the kind of rough, rooty terrain where older DW-Link bikes felt reactive.
- Size-specific Hollow Core carbon layup. Each frame size gets its own carbon layup schedule — tube thickness, profile, and arrangement tailored for that size — so you're not riding a scaled version of a medium. The ride character is consistent regardless of where you land on the size chart.
- SRAM XX Eagle Transmission with UDH mounting. Direct-frame mounting via UDH eliminates hanger flex and makes the rear derailleur significantly more crash-resilient than a traditional setup. Combined with wireless AXS shifting, it's the most refined and durable form of electronic mountain bike drivetrain available.
- Full AXS wireless ecosystem. Drivetrain, dropper post, and any compatible accessories all communicate via the AXS protocol — one battery system, one app, no cables running under the bar. It simplifies the cockpit and adds the reliability of fewer mechanical connections.
- FOX Factory suspension front and rear. GRIP2 damper on the fork gives independent high- and low-speed tuning at both compression and rebound — four independent adjustments. Paired with the FLOAT X Factory rear, you have a suspension package that rewards precise setup and performs across a wide range of terrain and riding styles.
- DT Swiss 240 / XMC 1501 wheelset. 36-tooth star ratchet engagement on the 240 hubs provides fast, reliable pick-up on technical climbs. The XMC 1501 carbon rims at 30mm internal width offer the stiffness-to-weight ratio you want in a trail wheel without the fragility concerns of lighter enduro-race builds.
- Two-position flip chip geometry. The 6mm BB height and 0.5° angle adjustment lets you run the bike in a more climbing-oriented setup or drop it into a more aggressive descending geometry — useful for riders who ride varied terrain across seasons.
Final Take
The Pivot Switchblade V6 Team XX Eagle Transmission is built for riders who want a single mountain bike that handles everything from sustained climbing to technical trail without asking for a sacrifice in either direction. The DW-Link redesign, Hollow Core carbon chassis, and FOX Factory suspension deliver a platform that earns the price tag on technical terrain. The Team XX Transmission spec adds the most capable and durable wireless drivetrain SRAM makes. For the rider ready to commit to one bike done right, this is that bike.
