Demo review of Pivot Trailcat SL

[Ashcor]

I’m currently riding a 2024 Pivot Trail 429 “Enduro” version. My second 429 which I love.

Demo’d a new Pivot Trailcat SL at the Cyclecraft Pivot demo day.

Comparing it to the 2024 429 it “feels” lighter, climbs a bit better, turns tighter and overall is much more lively.

Very nimble and very easy to throw around on the trail yet stable and very planted on technical decents.

10 out of 10. Would buy.

Pivot guys said they used the suspension from the Mach4 to give it that “poppy” feel. Definitely a great replacement for the 429.
