    Video Review: Pivot Firebird Spencer's take on Pivot's latest long-travel bike.

    • Series Page

    While the new Pivot Firebird cuts a similar profile to the old one, it's got a lot of "new" going on. New geometry, new chainstay length adjustment, new in-frame storage, and more. But at its core, the Firebird has always been a taut, snappy bike. So how does this new model compare to the much-beloved previous version? And what sort of riders will get along with it?

    Spencer weighs in on that and more in this video review. In his words: "The Firebird is for somebody who likes a zesty but capable bike that pedals to the top really efficiently. It's nimble, fun, and slashy."

    Cy Whitling spent time on the Firebird as well, you can read his review here.
