Pivot Cycles’ Mach 5.5 has been updated and fully integrated with Fox Live Valve technology to redefine the boundaries of the trail bike category.
The most sophisticated trail bike suspension ever developed, Fox Live Valve is here, and the Pivot Cycles Mach 5.5 is fully integrated and available with this game-changing suspension technology. The Mach 5.5 is already the best trail bike on the market, getting rave reviews from media and owners alike – and Live Valve technology takes that class-leading performance to the next level.
âWe began working with Fox on this project almost three years ago when the Mach 5.5 and the Live system were in their earliest prototype stages,â says Pivot Cycles President and CEO, Chris Cocalis. âEven then in its most basic form, we realized the performance benefits and knew we had to integrate it into the Mach 5.5. The evolution since then has been nothing short of incredible. The new FOX Live Valve system delivers even greater levels of versatility taking the Mach 5.5âs reputation as the one bike that can do it all to another level.â
Live Valve gives the Mach 5.5 an incredibly broad spectrum of suspension performance that makes it pedal and climb like Pivot’s Mach 4 yet descend with performance that rivals their longer travel Mach 6. Live Valve enhances the Mach 5.5âs already incredible capabilities by increasing pedaling efficiency seamlessly and instantly while making the suspension more supple and reactive. Incredibly, Live Valveâs computer does everything automatically and, in less time, than a blink of the eye – 100 times faster. With Fox Live Valve the dream of perfect suspension for every part of the ride becomes a reality.
Pricing, Specifications, and Availability: The Mach 5.5 with Fox Live Valve upgrade is available now in Pro and Team level builds ranging in price from $8,199 to $11,099 USD, in all sizes, at key Pivot dealers worldwide. For more information, visit http://www.pivotcycles.com/bike/mach-5-5-carbon/.
