High-Pivot MTBs Explained! Should You Care?

Описание: This video contains paid product placement for Madison Clothing. Just what is a high-pivot mountain bike? Truth be told, they’re not that different from regular mountain bikes. After all, they still have a drivetrain, wheels and rear suspension. But it's the rear suspension layout that makes them unique.

In this video, we explain why high-pivot bikes look the way they do, what the position of the high pivot does for performance, what the disadvantages are of the design and take a brief trip back in time to when high-pivot bikes first roamed the earth.

If you want to know even more, check out our review of the Trek Slash at the link below.

We’d love to know your thoughts too! Do you think high-pivot bikes are the future of mountain biking? Let us know in the comments.
