Pivot’s latest trailbike is designed from the ground up to deliver maximum confidence and fun per pedal stroke. Rolling a whole new look and name in the Pivot line, the Shadowcat carries forward the exceptional heritage of the Mach 5.5, with a completely new feather-weight chassis, combining progressive geometry and incredible suspension. The result is a bike that twists the fun dial all the way to the loudest setting and breaks it off.
Pivot Shadowcat in Blue Mirage
Our goal with the Shadowcat was to build the best bike for having fun. The combination of ultra-lightweight, suspension tuning and geometry results in a bike that has an incredibly poppy and fast feeling. From the beginning, the goal was to build a very nimble, ultralight trailbike. The Shadowcat is a super-capable rocketship that just puts a huge smile on your face wherever you ride it.
– Chris Cocalis, founder & CEO of Pivot
The Shadowcat utilizes Pivot’s Hollow Core carbon construction, allowing for a 140mm of travel weighing less than the class-leading Trail 429 and just a few grams more than the remarkably light Mach 4 SL. This svelte, frame is complimented with dw-link suspension tailored to deliver snappy acceleration and super effective transfer of energy. Poppy, playful, and fun to ride everywhere, the Shadowcat carries enough travel and geometry to still rail big lines in sketchy terrain with confidence and control.

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”.
