Testing The Brand New Pivot Mach 4 SL Full Suspension Race Bike At The Grand Junction Off-Road

As part of the Pivot Cycles launch for the brand new Mach 4 SL, Wil and the rest of the journalists were given the option of racing a 15, 30 or 40-mile race as part of the 2019 Grand Junction Off-Road event in Colorado.

Of course Wil chose to race the 40-mile category, mostly because he'd flown halfway round the world from Australia, and he wanted to experience as much of that glorious Grand Junction singletrack as possible. Let's be honest though - it’s probably also because his imperial-to-metric conversions are a bit sketchy.

Turns out the race was a little longer than planned. Wil and his competitors clocked up 70km and over 1800m of climbing in the end, which took him over 4 hours to complete.

According to our Antipodean Tech Editor, it was simultaneously one of the toughest and the best days of riding he has ever had on a bike.

It was also a perfect torture test for the new Pivot Mach 4 SL, which he'd been riding for the two days prior to the race.
