A light weight Cross Country and Marathon Race bike with performance and
versatility that everyone from the world cup racers to the average racer can
appreciate.
MTBR.com award for best XC full suspension bike 2 years in a row!
The Mach 4 already exhibited world class pedaling performance for top level cross
country riders. With the 2nd generation Mach 4, it's a whole new ball game!

Design Details:
Tapered headtube
Lower stand-over heights make for a more compact frame with a lower center of
gravity and an overall increase in frame stiffness.
92mm wide bb shell, compatible with Shimano, SRAM/TruVativ GXP, FSA, and
Enduro bottom brackets. 92mm shell allows for wider pivots and better bearing
support for increased frame strength and stiffness while maintaining better control
over the chain-line.
Direct mount FD accommodates Shimano 9 and 10 speed. Fully compatible with
SRAM (S3) XX front derailleurs and 3X as well as 2X drive train configurations
from both SRAM and Shimano. The direct mount design ensures perfect front
derailleur location, easier set up, a more rigid mount for the most efficient front
shifting possible.

Design Details Continued:
Shock tab design w/ integrated cable guides and smooth cable routing as well as a
cleaner look and lighter weight.
New Pivot ISCG 05 adaptor plate compatibility for use with single ring riders.
100mm or 120mm fork compatibility.
Colors: Blue Anodized, Black anodized, White with black decals and Black with
Hot Pink and Baby blue for Women’s specific options.

Suspension:
•
•
•
•
dw-link suspension design with
position sensitive anti-squat
Fully active under braking
100mm rear travel
Shorter 1.75” stroke shock w/
increased leverage ratio. Increases
shock pressures which allows for a
more usable range of tuning and
adjustments (especially for lighter
riders) Allows for a slightly flatter
spring curve and more tunability
with boost valve.

Suspension continued:
Fox Shock tuning
•
•
•
•
New Adaptive Logic RP23 Kashima shock with custom tuned Rebound and Propedal settings: New
Rebound settings offers twice the number of rebound adjustment options for more precise tuning of
the rebound speed.
New Adaptive Logic Propedal settings with Propedal #3 as the automatic “ON” setting while fully
open (zero Propedal), #1, or #2 can be selected with the RP23 adjuster. This new configuration
allows racers quick access to the full maximum Propedal setting while being able to choose the other
setting based on the course or ride conditions.
As with the previous settings, Propedal 1 offers minimal platform while both Propedal 2 and 3
settings offer extremely efficient pedaling performance with quick blow off and good small to
medium bump absorption. Fully open offers a new level of plushness with the addition of Kashima
coating while still maintaining the incredible pedaling performance Pivot frames are known for.
The new settings add increased versatility and tuning range that improve overall performance.

• Rider Size Specific:
•
•
•
Mach 4 comes in two smaller rider size specific designs (XX-Small and X-small.
XX-Small fits riders from 4’11”- 5’2” X-Small 5’2-5’5”
100mm travel
Shorter stroke shocks with higher leverage ratio’s result in higher shock pressures
that more evenly match those of larger riders on the larger size frames. This gives
lighter riders the same performance and tuning range. Smaller diameter, thinner
wall tubes result in a lighter weight frame design.
13
Rider Size Specific continued:
•
•
Rider size specific top tube lengths, with slightly steeper seat angles, and adjusted
head angles result in the proper wheelbase for each size frame. Combined with
lower BB heights, the X-Small and XX-Small Mach 4 provides smaller riders the
perfect fit and handling.
Ultra-short head tube lengths combined with the Mach 4’s lower BB’s result in the
lowest stand-over heights of any suspension bike in existence.
