Our review

The Firebird is built for riders who chase steep, technical terrain and want every line to feel within reach. Carbon construction, carefully tuned geometry and nearly bottomless suspension combine to deliver a bike that pedals with surprising efficiency yet descends with uncompromising authority. From high-speed drops to rowdy corners, the Firebird stays planted and absorbs every hit. FEATURES: Shred: The enduro-bred Firebird is danger and daring dialed in. It's built of carbon and courage, urging you to give in to gravity on the descent and willfully defying it on the climb. With nearly bottomless suspension, it's so planted it may as well grow roots. Roots that can fly. Look, we don't get it, either — but you will when you ride it. Make It Yours: Available in XS to XL frame sizes, the Firebird accommodates more riders and more riding styles than ever before. It introduces a new adjustable chainstay length with our patented Swinger™ dropout system, letting you quickly switch between longer or shorter chainstay lengths. You can further tune your ride with the suspension flip chip: select the more progressive setting for a poppy and lively ride, or a more linear setup to keep the bike as planted as possible. Dialed for Speed, Equipped for the Ride: Choose your weapon: The Firebird offers both full-29er and mixed-wheel setups (XS is mixed-wheel only). Chase earth-shattering speed with dual 29-inch wheels, or opt for a 27.5-inch rear for quicker turn-in and a more playful feel. And with the all-new Pivot Toolshed, an in-frame storage system that’s as clean as it is quiet, you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips. Integrated magnets and a strap loop keep essentials like spare links and tools secure, while included Toolshed bags ensure your gear stays put, no matter how fast you send it. Swinger Dropout: Using our Swinger Dropout patent, we developed a chainstay length adjustment that is fully compatible with UDH and SRAM Transmission in either setting. Allowing riders to select between the short or long setting, giving you 8mm of adjustment for your rear center. The drive side features a short and long setting, adjusted via the patented Swinger Dropout. The non-drive is adjusted via an easy-to-use flip-chip. Now riders can pick between short chainstays for locking in manuals and snappy cornering. Or go long for even more stability on high-speed chunky descents.
