MTB Downhill

The Santa Cruz V10 8 represents the ultimate evolution of the most iconic and successful downhill bike in history. This eighth generation (V10 8) has been refined to offer an even quieter, more precise, and more customizable ride, meeting the needs of professional riders on World Cup tracks. Crafted exclusively from CC Carbon, Santa Cruz's finest and lightest material, it guarantees superior structural stiffness and unparalleled responsiveness in the most technical and rugged sections. The MX (Mullet) configuration, with a 29" front wheel to easily roll over obstacles and a 27.5" rear wheel for maximum agility in tight spots, makes this bike a total weapon for bike parks and DH competitions. The S-Kit build offers a reliable and race-ready component package, while the new Gloss Liquid Blue colorway for the 2027 season ensures a modern and striking look. Thanks to the 208mm VPP® suspension system and extensive geometry adjustment options (reach, chainstay, and progression), the V10 8 adapts perfectly to every riding style and trail type.

The Pivot team took their time developing the all-new Phoenix Downhill. After extensive testing, tweaks, and re-tuning, the bike was put through its paces by Bernard Kerr to squeeze every possible tenth of a second out of the trail. Built to Pivot's exacting standards, this stunning carbon frame is your companion for many wild descents—and let's face it, have you ever seen a more beautiful bike? Key features Architecture: mid-high pivot with six-joint DW-Link kinematics Suspension: DW-Link with 210mm of travel Transmission: dual chain with dual idler (dual-chain, dual idler) Suspension performance: Excellent grip, control and stability; anti-squat designed to maintain pedaling efficiency and predictable response on challenging terrain Dual-chain features: quiet, smooth operation, almost no pedal kickback; equivalent to a 37t front chainring; easy maintenance Geometry adjustments: Flip-chip with 2 positions («High» — Bernard Kerr's preferred setting, suitable for rocky and technical trails — and «Low» for maximum speed and control) Headset with reach adjustment: ±5 mm for fine-tuning the riding position Wheel configurations: MX — 29" front and 27.5" rear Availability: two build kits designed for extreme performance Technical details and benefits The Phoenix's DW-Link kinematics utilize a mid-high pivot to deliver superb traction and a stable platform at high speeds. Anti-squat is calibrated to reduce pedaling power loss without compromising trail sensitivity. The dual chainset with dual idler reduces drivetrain feedback, maintaining a smooth and linear ride feel even under load. The presence of the flip-chip and headset adjustment allow you to quickly adapt the bike to the needs of the track or personal preferences: from the most stable and nervous configuration for technical tracks, to the lower and speed-oriented one for fast tracks. Who is it intended for? The Phoenix is ​​designed for aggressive downhill and enduro riders looking for a race bike with predictable handling, a high level of control, and fine-tuning options. It's ideal for those who want to exploit every part of the trail while maintaining speed, precision, and safety on the descents. Conclusion The Pivot Phoenix is ​​the result of meticulous development, pro-rider feedback, and high-end components. With its carbon frame, sophisticated 210mm DW-Link suspension, dual-chain system, and multiple adjustability options, it represents an excellent choice for those seeking the ultimate in downhill performance.

SPECIALIZED DEMO RACE BIKE 2025 Maximum speed has always been the main objective in the design of the Demo. The frame design provides flexibility in wheel setup and allows the rider to mount a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5 rear wheel. A combination already tested by World Champion Loic Bruni, who was looking for the perfect balance between traction and maneuverability, now also approved by the UCI. The Demo Race rose to the top of the world rankings and in the World Cup in its first season. The rear axle path minimizes the effect of obstacles impacts on the rear wheel, increasing speed. The Öhlins suspension, with kinematics highly appreciated on the World Cup circuit, together with the SRAM X01 drivetrain specific for DH, make the Demo Race the perfect weapon for every run. The M5 alloy frame design provides for the mounting of a 29-inch front wheel, perfect for traction, and a 27.5 rear wheel, more maneuverable. At the same time it is possible to opt for a 29er also on the rear to accommodate different riding styles or types of course. The rear triangle is adjustable so as to ensure that the chainstay length and bottom bracket height remain tuned, regardless of wheel size. The Öhlins TTX 22M.2 shock is capable of tackling the most technical DH tracks in the World Cup. The Ohlins DH38 fork with 200mm travel is a guarantee on the most demanding drops.
