PIVOT CYCLES
THE NEW SPECIAL EDITION PHOENIX
Debuting All-New Drivetrain and Suspension Technology
February 24, 2026
The Phoenix has earned its place as one of the most decorated downhill race platforms in modern gravity competition, built for the demands of World Cup tracks and riders chasing every fraction of speed, control and precision. Now, Pivot Cycles brings that proven chassis together with the latest drivetrain innovation from SRAM and cutting-edge suspension technology from RockShox to introduce the Phoenix XX DH Special Edition. Finished in a striking Electric Red colorway inspired by RockShox’s iconic fork heritage, this exclusive build unites class-leading downhill technology with Pivot’s championship-proven platform to deliver a purpose-built race machine designed to perform at the highest level of the sport.
The Phoenix XX DH Special Edition brings together the latest gravity technology from SRAM and RockShox in a build tuned specifically around the Phoenix chassis. The BoXXer Ultimate fork features the new LinearXL air spring, delivering a more coil-like feel with added mid-stroke support for improved front-end compliance and bump absorption. ButterWagonTech keeps lubrication consistent at the bushings to reduce friction and maintain performance over time, helping the Phoenix track predictably when speeds climb and terrain gets chaotic. Paired with the Vivid Ultimate DH shock, the system enhances traction, control and stability, so the chassis stays planted without losing the responsiveness riders rely on when pushing for every fraction of a second.
Shifting performance comes from the all-new SRAM XX DH Transmission wireless drivetrain, engineered to deliver precise, consistent shifts under load when it matters most. Designed specifically for downhill racing, the system features a simplified 7-speed cassette with tightly spaced ratios for maximum power transfer, allowing riders to maintain momentum through sprints, compressions and high-speed sections without hesitation. Wireless AXS technology delivers a clean cockpit and reliable performance in the most demanding race environments.
With its exclusive Special Edition bold Electric Red Phoenix frame and matching BoXXer fork, the Phoenix XX DH Special Edition immediately stands out. It pairs SRAM’s XX DH Transmission wireless drivetrain seamlessly with Pivot’s dual chain design for a build that’s as visually striking as it is performance focused. This Special Edition marks a bold new chapter for the Phoenix, bringing together race-proven engineering from Pivot Cycles with the latest gravity innovations from SRAM and RockShox to deliver a standout downhill build created for riders chasing maximum speed, confidence and podium-level performance.
