Pivot Phoenix Ride

The mid-high pivot DW6 linkage is engineered for superior bump compliance. It allows the rear wheel to track better over square-edged hits and rough terrain, helping you maintain speed and traction where other bikes might hang up.

Yes, the Phoenix offers significant adjustability. You can fine-tune the handling and progression using the upper link flip-chip for geometry changes and the lower shock mount flip-chip to adjust the suspension progression to match specific course conditions.

While the dual-idler pulley and dual-chain drivetrain are highly efficient for downhill performance, they do introduce more moving parts than a standard drivetrain. You will need to keep the idler pulleys clean and lubricated to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear.

The Phoenix is a dedicated, elite-level downhill machine designed for high-speed, technical terrain. While it offers incredible stability and control, it is a specialized tool; if you are looking for a bike that can also handle trail riding or climbing, you might find this platform too aggressive and inefficient for those purposes.

The frame comes equipped with injection-molded protection covering the full length of the downtube and the chainstay. This is designed to absorb impacts from trail debris and rocks, which is essential for protecting the carbon frame during intense downhill runs.

No, the Phoenix is a pure downhill race bike and does not come with a dropper post. It is built for maximum weight savings and stiffness, which prioritizes performance on gravity-fed descents over the versatility of a seat-height adjustment.
