Pivot Mach 5.5 Long Term Review

Is the Pivot Mach 5.5 the quintessential trail bike? Watch and decide for yourself.

I'd sworn off 27.5 wheels...then the 5.5 showed up. One ride is all it took for me to fall in love. One word describes it best, FUN! This bike is a blast and has served me well in nearly every capacity. I've done 40+ mile XC rides in Bentonville and tackled some of the gnarliest terrain on the Big Mountain Enduro Series.
