The 2017 Pivot Vault can be your go-anywhere, do-anything bike whether you plan to throw ride gravel events, the local crit series or if your favorite race is the one against sundown.
“Dropbar bikes are evolving as fast as are mountain bikes,” said Pivot Cycles President and CEO, Chris Cocalis. “In the same way that our really great trail bikes take MTB riders all over the mountain, the Vault is the only bike that most road riders really need. We are excited to dispel myths about what makes a great cyclocross, road racing or gravel bike by offering one truly exceptional machine that excels in every field.”
The 2017 Vault frameset includes an all new, full carbon, taper-steerer fork from Pivot, with an oversized crown, greatly increased tire clearance and Shimano’s new flat mount brake mount. For light weight and handling accuracy, the fork dropouts have been upgraded to a 12mm thru axle design. The new fork clears 700C tires up to 48C.
Pricing, Specifications, and Availability: The new Vault is available as a complete bike with an ideal mixed surface build featuring Shimano Ultegra and Stan’s Grail wheels for $3,999 USD. It is also available as a frameset, enabling you to customize your build based on how you plan to use it most. The new Vault is available immediately, in all sizes, at key Pivot Dealers worldwide.
