THE ALL-NEW PIVOT MACH 4 SL

March 3, 2026

Pivot Cycles introduces the all-new Mach 4 SL, XC distilled to its fastest form—engineered for efficiency, sharpened for precision and built to master the modern racecourse. Born from the crucible of World Cup XC and epic endurance racing, it balances a feathery build with an obsession for stiffness, control and efficiency. This is Pivot’s sharpest tool for riders who live in the red zone, engineered to crush climbs and meet the intense demands of real trails where races are actually won.

The Mach 4 SL is built with our highest-modulus carbon fiber, setting a new benchmark for stiffness-to-weight ratio and translating every watt into pure acceleration. Its updated geometry and refined kinematics balance precision and composure, keeping handling sharp when the pace picks up and the terrain turns rough. Discreet cable ports keep the cockpit clean and versatile, while integrated Toolshed™ downtube storage ensures essentials stay secure and out of the way. With adjustable travel from 110 to 120mm, the Mach 4 SL is engineered for adaptability—ready for finish-line sprints, marathon epics and everything in between.

“The Mach 4 SL is built for the way World Cup XC racing really is—fast, technical and always on the edge. It climbs with incredible efficiency and stays composed when the course gets rough. The geometry and suspension make it stable at speed and razor-sharp through corners, so you can stay off the brakes and keep pushing.” – Gunnar Holmgren, Pivot Cycles OTE XC Racing Team

Every Mach 4 SL build is crafted for the uncompromising pursuit of speed. At the top, the Team build delivers our lightest and fastest setup with Fox Factory suspension and SRAM XX SL Eagle Transmission for maximum efficiency and precision at race speed. The Team Flight Attendant build adds RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant suspension and the Team XX SL Eagle Transmission, bringing automated terrain response to riders who want the most advanced setup available. The Pro build pairs Factory-level suspension with SRAM’s X0 Eagle Transmission for a blend of responsiveness and durability, while the Expert build brings Shimano XT Di2 shifting with proven Fox Performance suspension for consistent control across demanding courses. The Ride build rounds out the lineup with a Fox Performance 34 Step-Cast fork, Performance Float shock and SRAM Eagle 70/90 Transmission, all anchored by the same high-modulus carbon frame used across every Mach 4 SL build. For riders building their own perfect setup, a frame-only option is also available.

Pricing, Specifications and Availability: The Mach 4 SL is available in Blue Stellar Fade and White Avalanche colorways and can be purchased in four different complete build levels from Shimano and SRAM, priced from $6,399 to $13,999. For more information visit: Pivotcycles.com
