Pivot

Switchblade V6 Carbon Frame

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"This frame brings a best-of-both-worlds feel I don't usually get-light and nimble when I want it, yet rock solid in the steeps. The updated geometry and the flip chip let me tune the ride for different trails, and the size-specific chainstays actually make a noticeable difference in control across sizes. It's hard to imagine a better foundation for a versatile all-mountain build."

The Switchblade V3 frame is a true evolution of Pivot's legacy in trail and enduro design. With 142mm of rear travel driven by the dw-link suspension system, it finds a rare sweet spot-efficient enough to cover serious ground, yet fully capable of handling backcountry descents and bike park lines. The vertically-mounted trunnion shock enhances small-bump sensitivity while preserving long-stroke control for the rowdiest trails.

Frame features are purposefully executed to elevate ride quality. The flip chip system gives riders the ability to change bottom bracket height and head tube angle on the fly, adapting for mullet setups, high-speed terrain, or even tighter trail networks. Carbon construction is refined through Pivot's Hollow Core molding process for a responsive and durable ride feel, and every frame size is matched with unique chainstay lengths for proportional handling. With fully guided internal routing, UDH compatibility, bottle cage and Tool Dock mounts, and a threaded bottom bracket, this is a truly modern trail chassis built for performance without compromise.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
