Pivot Firebird XT/SLX Build (2012)

Born from the same technology that won six Downhill World Championship
titles, it’s no wonder the Firebird descends “like a bat outta’ hell”.
What mystifies the competition is how a bike so adept at going fast
downhill can also climb with such skill and ease that dropping bikes
with less travel when going up is a common occurrence. Built with 6.6”
of dw-link® rear suspension, tuned for awesome pedaling efficiency, the
Firebird is the ultimate long travel trail bike.



Climbing and acceleration are lightning fast, and rocky descents are
devoured. It’s so incredibly good that Mountain Bike Action named it
one of the 25 most important bikes of all time because of its astounding
range of versatility. Life might be all about compromises, but the
Firebird isn’t.
