Pivot Cycles, a leading name in high-end mountain and gravel bikes, proudly announces the addition of two legendary cyclists, Jill Kintner and Bryn Atkinson, to their elite roster of athletes.
Jill Kintner, a trailblazer in mountain biking, has excelled across six disciplines, earning accolades such as a BMX Bronze at the 2008 Olympics, three UCI 4X World Championships and 25 Elite USA National Championships. Beyond her athletic prowess, Jill’s passion for design, reflected in custom Red Bull helmet graphics and full-scale van wraps, complements her fierce intensity on the bike.
Bryn Atkinson, a pivotal figure in the Aussie invasion that reshaped downhill racing, joins Pivot Cycles as a multifaceted talent. With multiple World Cup top tens, victories at prestigious events like the US Open, and the Pro Gravity Tour Series overall title, Bryn’s smooth and powerful riding style has left an indelible mark on the sport. In addition to his racing achievements, Bryn has seamlessly transitioned into filmmaking and photography, contributing significantly to product development and testing for industry-leading brands. His dedication to advancing the sport makes him an invaluable asset to the Pivot Cycles family.
I’m super excited to have them on board. Jill and Bryn represent everything that is great about the sport of mountain biking. They are incredible athletes, but first and foremost awesome people. We are honored to have them join the Pivot family.

About Pivot Cycles
Unlike our bikes, culture cannot be engineered: it grows from within. When Chris Cocalis founded Pivot Cycles in 2007, he had a vision for a company committed to designing and building the world’s best performing bicycles. Engineers, designers, athletes, industry veterans, and storytellers joined him one by one. The Pivot Cycles vision became a shared vision, and the mutual desire to push the mountain biking performance envelope tied all of us together in a way that can only be described as, well, a family. As a company, we have our own list of family values, and it begins with “people”.
