Pivot Cycles LES SL Pro XT/XTR
The Pivot Cycles LES SL Pro XT/XTR hardtail is built around a low resistance, super-light frame – just 800g for medium size – that is nonetheless incredibly strong, thanks to its proprietary Hollow Core Carbon construction.
These qualities, together with the frame’s long reach and slack head angle, ensure this bike is swift, vertically compliant and altogether a bit of a rocketship over mixed terrain.
The bike’s fleetness is enhanced by Pivot’s proprietary tube shapes and rider-specific fit, while the Kashima-coated Fox Factory Stepcast 32 FIT4 fork, the brand’s lightest race model, offers three different levels of compression damping on the fly, along with 100mm of travel. This means you can easily match your suspension with the terrain using the fork’s remote.

Any sudden obstacles or sharp descents, meanwhile, can be managed with the help of Shimano’s XT M8100 2-piston brakes.
Finally, this bike includes a sturdy yet snappy 29″ DT Swiss XR1700 alloy wheelset, which together with chunky Maxxis Ardent Race tyres, is capable of carrying you over rough trails at a speed your competitors will find it tough to beat.
