Pivot Phoenix X0
If your desire is raw speed and you've got your sights set on the podium, there is no bike on the market that will pilot you to victory in the way that the X0 Phoenix will. As far as DH bikes go, the Phoenix is the top of the pops and the X0 build features a spec list to match. Sure you can find cheaper downhill bikes out there from some of the bigger mass-produced brands - hell, some of them even kind of look like the Phoenix, but if your concern is ride quality, adjustable geometry, custom-tuned suspension in a meticulously well-built frame, then look no further as this bike represents stunning value for money.
The Pivot Phoenix sure is one sexy piece of bike engineering. Everywhere you look you see over engineered and flawless machined bits that are not only works of CNC art but are well thought out and functional. Take the rear dropouts as an example. Yes they do look impressive as well as stupidly stiff but the golden egg here is that you can swap these out with different dropouts that will adjust your chainstay length, bottom bracket height and wheelbase length. Yeah the guys at Pivot Cycles have gone to town to produce a World Cup winner, but they also appreciate that different riders might need different setups depending on the course. So as well as the replaceable dropouts the head angle on the Phoenix DH headtube is indexed, and is easily adjustable between 0, +/- 1/2, 1, or 1.375 degree settings via the Cane Creek headset.

Everyone is mad for a low centre of gravity on a DH bike, though it isn't the easiest characteristic to achieve. Take a quick look at a Pivot Phoenix DH bike and you'll see that Pivot have gone a long way to concentrate as much of the main pivot and shock weight as low in the frame as possible, whilst also employing a super low 13.6" BB height. These 2 techniques allow for a low centre of gravity and an "in the bike" sensation for the pilot, as oppose to feeling like you're sitting "on top of the bike". Other brands out there have used low BB's too, but they all suffer from an excessive amount of pedal strikes, as a soggy rear suspension setup will have your pedals coming alarmingly close to trail obstacles. The dw-link suspension design on the Phoenix has a certain amount of "anti-squat" built into it, so the suspension doesn't wallow when you stamp on the pedals, allowing you to comfortably power through rock gardens without fear of clipping your pedals. Unique to the Phoenix DH is the fact it has a distinct advantage in overall control and pedaling efficiency over other downhill bikes. Square edge bump absorption is incredible, and the suspension remains stable and controlled in the most extreme conditions. The Phoenix DH pedals like a champ, has the control of a pro and descends like an animal.

From Pivot Cycles:

"The Phoenix DH is the ultimate expression of what dw-link® suspension can do for a rider. With the heritage of 6 World Championships built into it and plenty of podiums on its own, the Phoenix DH is the DH bike to have, whether you’re a top ranked World Cup racer or a weekend gravity pilot. The Phoenix has already proven to be the king of frame stiffness and durability in World Cup competition, while also having a distinct advantage in suspension control and pedaling efficiency throughout the travel. No other downhill bike offers the performance of a dw-link® equipped Pivot. When DH runs are decided by fractions of a second, the performance and confidence inspiring ride of the Phoenix DH is the tool you need to make it to the top step of the podium."

X0 Build
A World Cup frame is deserving of a World Cup level parts spec, and Pivot have gone to town with the X0 Phoenix to deck it out with some of the finest DH components available to humans. Like a true race machine, the X0 Phoenix comes specced with Fox Factory level suspension that gives you control over all 207mm of the dw-link suspension. Sure Pivot have done a lot of the hard work for you by valving the Fox RC4 Kashima rear shock to work with the linkage ratio on the Phoenix (a $200 service aftermarket), but the independently adjustable high & low speed compression dials allow you to setup the suspension for any course. The matching Fox 40 RC2 forks up front also get the gold Kashima coat finish to decrease stiction and the re-designed SKF fork seals increase the suspensions ability to react to small bumps. All of this combined with the amazing Phoenix frame creates a race bike that is ridiculously comfortable on high speed technical terrain. Components such as the custom DT Swiss 350 wheelset, WTB Vigo saddle and Gravity Light cockpit shave precious grams and keep overall weight down.
