2020 Pivot Trail 429 Review 

I have one of these with complete Sram XX1 AXS setup, an absolute gem of a bike. This bike is so capable of doing so many tasks. PIVOT have really designed a perfect 'Trail Bike'. Do yourself a favor and go ride one, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent editing btw: I really liked dividing up the speaking sections with video of actual trail riding; it kept my interest.

I've narrowed my big list of trail bikes down to 2: Yeti 130 & this Trail429.....until I saw the Switchblade yesterday... I've really enjoyed your reviews since I'm riding in eastern WA & we're about the same height. 85% of my riding will be local trails, but I'd like my 1st full.susp to be capable of chasing friends @ Silver MT several times a summer. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated & if the fam makes it up your way for summer vacay--it'd be great to find your shop!

Really enjoy your reviews and riding videos. you and mtb yumyum do some of the best bike reviews on youtube. I was wondering if you could do a review on the intense tracer, transition patrol and/or the pivot mach 6. thanks

Can't wait to see a comparison between the Trail 429 and the 2020 Tallboy. Seem very similar.

Another great bike review. Wanting to add a second bike to my garage. Have a Yeti Sb5+ and plan to keep it. My trouble is, when it comes to Mtb, I love them all.

I’ve had this bike for just over a year in a Pro XT version. I totally agree with everything you said about this bike. It’s a great trail bike and I continuously push the limits with it. Highly recommend this bike if you’re thinking of getting one.

thanks for the review, I have a 2014, 429... For someone in the 50+ age bracket, I love mine, so I might just get the 2020 version and remain absolutely happy... PIVOT just build quality fun.

Can we expect a tallboy 4 review soon?

429,Ripley, Tallboy or Orbea Occam? What would you buy?

What was the weight of this bike? Thanks

Would love to hear a review/comparison between this and the SB115. Eyeing one of those to compliment my 150!

Great review! Think I made the right decision with my purchase of one of these this past weekend. I'm 6'2 and went for the XL but plan to shorten the stem from what comes standard. I'm going from a 10 year old hardtail with a 70.75 degree headtube angle (hahah), so I think this will be an excellent transition into full suspension.

Great review. Nice editing. Concise information. I love my pivot 429 trail.

Pivot=fun Have a Mach 5.5 and it’s a riot!

Great review man. Pivot looks like a fun ride!

Are the prices in Canadian $ or American $?

Great reviews. You liked the Ripley a lot too, if you had to pick between the two, which would you go for?

Is a good option to xc riding trail ??

all new?!? there is nothing all new about this bike!
