You've seen the endless discussions on seat tube angles on almost every single other bikereview ever? Finally there's a way to shush them.

On a German Website it says the new Avinox in a compact design. So maybe it‘s just a smaller motor? Do you think it has even more power? A completely new motor would be crazy, the current Dji bikes aren‘t even on the market yet like commencal and crussis.

I've been a Pivot fan for a good four years now, had the 2019 Firebird, now the 2022 Firebird, and the Switchblade. With this model, it seems to me as if Pivot is trying to please all the critics – except for the Superboost critics, of course 😊 I go to the Rock the Hill Festival every year and enjoy testing all the available bikes. Until now, I haven't liked bikes with long chainstays, e.g., the Spire, the Orange Stage 7, or even the Specialized Enduro. Now, at least, people can decide. What seems strange to me, though, is this active marketing of the Mullet. The last two Firebirds could easily be converted to a Mullet, but that was more of a side note back then. I've never seen a Firebird as a Mullet either. Is it now being advertised like this to satisfy people who absolutely "need" a low bottom bracket and a very slack head angle? This seems a bit odd to me, especially since the geometry of the full-size 29er doesn't differ much from its predecessor. As far as I can see, the chainstays in the M size are even shorter than on the predecessor.

What do you guys think? For me, the backweel looks smaller than the frontweel.

Could be a new Mach 6 aswelll. i've seen a Prototype Pivot in Vital MTB's Rumours section. To me, it looked like a Mullet. So i guess it will be the Mach 6 switching from 27,5 to full Mullet setup. Also i had the previos gen, because of a Big Rock smashing my frame got damaged. I wanted a glacial green one via crash replacement, but they told me that these Frames will be available Spring 2015 , not earlier. So they still push new frames out. I think Mach 6 aren't getting restocked and they would never switch a firebird to a stock mullet. Also they're still pushing Marketing on the Bird.
