Features• 6.6” (167mm) rear travel and 160mm to 180mm fork compatibility (170mm standard). • Rearward wheel travel path for incredible square edge bump performance and unparalleled pedaling performance. • New Pivot specific, custom valved Fox CTD shock technology featuring increased rider tunability and incredible small bump sensitivity. • Full 1.5 headtube accepts the Cane Creek Angleset, allowing the rider to further tune the handling. Several Firebird models now come with the Angleset as part of the stock build. • ISCG O5 mounts included for single ring and chain guide compatibility. • Patented Pivot floating front derailleur mount keeps the chain in the sweet spot of the derailleur for better chain retention. Combine with our custom MRP LRP 2X chain guide for perfect shifting performance and worry free chain retention in even the roughest conditions. • 142mm rear spacing with 12mm through axle and 160mm post mount dropouts for maximum frame stiffness. • The Firebird (like many bikes in our line) is all about versatility; allowing riders to do everything from 24 hour endurance races, to park/gravity riding, Super D and the occasional DH race but its real home is aggressive trails where the ride up is just as technical as the ride down.
