Pivot Firebird
Wednesday, February 4, 2009 at 07:18PM The first Pivot Firebird frames came in today...build it up light for ultra-technical epics or build it up big for gravity runs. The Firebird is your ultimate trail machine.
The Firebird features a 1.5 headtube and is designed for a 160-170mm travel fork. Complete bikes feature FOX 36 RC2 forks with 1.5 to 1 1/8th tapered steerers to optimize strength and stiffness while keeping the bike light. The 1.5 headtube offers true flexibility to run, 1.5, 1 1/8th, tapered, single crown, or dual crown forks.
The Firebird is designed and built to set a new bar for performance in the 6" travel trail bike category, featuring 6.50" (167mm) of rear travel. Dave Weagle and designer Kevin Tisue collaborated with Chris Cocalis to really get this bike dialed. Weagle’s ultra successful “Sunday" combined with Tisue’s downhill racing experience gave the Firebird touches that every “go big" rider will love. As every other Pivot, the Firebird is a pedaling marvel when pointed uphill as well.
