Now Available, The Special Edition Phoenix
The XX DH Transmission derailleur delivers crisp wireless shifting with exceptional durability built for downhill racing. Designed for impact resistance and race-level reliability, it pairs with the purpose-built XX DH cassette for tight gear steps, consistent cadence control and efficient power transfer when every second counts.
Next-Gen DH Suspension. Built for Composure.
The Special Edition Phoenix DH runs RockShox’s latest downhill suspension package to keep speed high and chaos low. The new BoXXer Ultimate fork delivers a coil-like feel with improved small-bump sensitivity, strong mid-stroke support and reduced chatter when tracks get rough. The new LinearXL air spring delivers a constant and predictable ride feel, while ButterWagonTech ensures a constant supply of oil to the bushings, reducing friction and maintaining smooth performance. Out back, the Vivid Ultimate DH shock adds supple response, tunable bottom-out control and consistent traction when pushing hard.
Ordained for Dominance
Developed with suspension legend Dave Weagle, the cutting-edge 6-bar design (DW6) provides 210mm of mid-high pivot rear travel, delivering unmatched control and stability on the most challenging descents. The striking (and incredibly quiet) dual-chain drive boosts efficiency while the six-bar linkage delivers insane square-edge bump compliance, letting the bike roll over obstacles with ease and allowing you to maintain momentum and power through rough terrain.
Race Driven, Podium Proven
The Phoenix's performance was honed through real-world race experience with the Pivot Factory Racing team. PFR athletes rigorously tested the prototype for over a year in the most demanding conditions, providing invaluable feedback that helped shape the production Phoenix into a true podium contender.
An Idea Conceived in Carbon
The Phoenix began its life as a carbon lugged prototype. A carbon frame test bed allowed us to develop faster, iterate more efficiently, and ultimately push our prototype as close as possible to the finished product. The result is a bike that is both radically new and elegantly refined.
A Story Written at the World Cup
The original Phoenix dominated the world stage for years. So how do you top a downhill legend? By putting its successor through the same gauntlet. Pivot Factory Racing raced the prototype on the World Cup circuit and pushed it to the limit — even breaking it at Crankworx Rotorua — gaining real-world data that shaped the final production bike.
Ready for the Rough Stuff
With a mid-high pivot, six-bar dw-link™ suspension design and 210mm of travel, the Phoenix rips over bumps big and small and boasts unmatched stability on descents. The striking dual-chain drive runs smooth and silent, boosts efficiency, and ensures virtually no pedal kickback.
Business, Meet Party
An MX wheel setup comes standard, putting a smooth-rolling 29-inch up front and a flickable 27.5-inch in the back. It’s a healthy serving of stability with a generous side of agility; calculation with improvisation; steak with cake.
Flip It Good
Dial in your setup with the Pivot Flip Chip and switch between ‘high’ for conquering rocky and technical courses or ‘low’ for maximum speed on the descent. Use the Suspension Flip Chip to control the coil-over shock progressivity to help you tackle the steepest and roughest terrain.
Comfort Within Reach
With a reach adjust headset and the 4 frame sizes offered, riders can fine tune their reach from 430mm–525mm in 5–10mm increments.
Dual-Idler, Dual-Chain
Smooth and friction free dual-chain design for less resistance, more clearance and better chain retention.
