I have demoed too many bikes this spring, I have my list down to the Pivot Mach 6. Any owners out there with some input. I'm Looking at the XT/XTR Pro build group. $6500 seems nuts for a bike but this thing is so damn fun and it will get me through a few seasons. Am I nuts, on the spot or any other thoughts?

I prefer the look pivot 140 for about 220$ Instead of the rather expensive pivot Mach 6

All the guys here riding them area really loving them. High price is pretty common these days. I will throw in that I just picked up a Kona Process 153 and really enjoying it

$6500? That's a deal if you consider a similar build on a Santa Cruz Bronson or Nomad is going to be 8-9 grand or more. It's insane how much bikes are going for these days...

I read the Firebird and it was a killer bike. We have more peddling around here and need to get up as well as down. If I was looking for a longer travel it would be in the running. At 6 inches with 27.5 wheel I can still climb and descend with the best of the.
