Pivot Mach429 Carbon Test Winner

This carbon speed machine has taken a smoothly neutral suspension design and bolted it into one of the stiffest 29er frames we’ve ever ridden.

When you add a full all-mountain/future-proofing feature list that includes extensive frame armouring, the result is a super precise, trail tough, high velocity weapon that aggressive riders will love.

Final group test verdict

All bikes on this test score highly, but if we had to pick a favourite frame from the foursome though it would have to be Pivot’s new 429 Carbon.

It’s not heavy, but it’s perfect proof that weight isn’t everything when you’re trading it for proper trail toughness and jaw dropping stiffness. 

Add super controlled suspension and a spot-on handling balance and you’ve got a bike that’ll properly reset your flat-out riding limits.

Caffelatex for 2013

If you’ve read any of my material, you probably know that I’m a fan of tire sealants. There are many types out there. If you’re unfamiliar with tire sealants in general, you may want to take a look at our primer on all-things-sealant, located HERE.

Given my affinity for sealants, I was pleased to learn that Italian-based Effetto Mariposa recently released an updated formula of their beloved Caffelatex.

Eurobike 2012: Lezyne lights

Some of the more desirable products on display at Eurobike were found, unsurprisingly, on the Lezyne stand.

With the change of season fast approaching, if not already upon us, the new lights were the items that caught our attention (and in use will hopefully do the same for road users).
