Lithe, agile, sharp, fast and fun, the Pivot Shadowcat is a trail-carving expression of blazing speed and feline creative mayhem. Pivot ’s latest offering capitalizes on the acceleration and responsiveness of 27.5” wheels and acclaimed dw-link suspension to bring to life a bike that offers transformative capability for riders of every stripe.
A new frame that weighs less than the impressively light Trail 429 frame. Incredibly capable dw-Link suspension kinematics allow 140mm of travel to pedal with more snap and climb faster than many 120mm bikes. Serious light weight. Cheetah chasing down an antelope acceleration.
