what about that review was negative? It seemed like the bike was super well received, am I missing something?

Meet Your Maker: Titanium Frame Fabrication at Ora Engineering
Clicked on this because I'm a Ti bike nerd but as a water treatment engineer I want to know more about that system. What kind of impurities are they trying to remove, what's in the pressure filters? How much water do they use?

Mach 4 SL Pro XT/XTR w/ Carbon Wheels

$5500 USD
Used Mach 4 SL with the XT/XTR build and the Reynolds wheel upgrade. This bike is an amazing race bike but as a "master blaster" who mostly races to justify all my trainerroad time and lack of trail time (new Dad) I'm going back to something a bit more aggressive in geo (ie more "downcountry" but still raceable). Bike has been ride wrapped since Day 1 and has a few small scuffs on the chainstay but overall in great shape. Specs are available on Pivot's website but quicklist is below. Would consider a trade for another RM Element or an Allied BC40 but otherwise no trades. In 100mm mode this thing is bonkers efficient, which is crazy because it's insanely efficient in the 115 mm setting too. Will upload some more photos in the coming days. Pictures show a Roval Control cockpit and XTR stages cranks which I will be replacing with the stock components. - Frame - Size large green - Fork - SC 34 120 mm - Shifter - XT - Cassette/Chain - XT (chain will be new) - Derailleur - XTR - Brakes - XT 2 piston - Wheels - Reynolds Blacklabel 309/289 XC w/ Industry Nine Hydra hub - Tires - 2.4 Maxxis Rekon Races (front and rear) - Cranks - Race Face Æffect - Dropper- 150 mm fox factory transfer - Stem - Pivot 60 mm - Handlebar - Pivot Flatbar (760mm width)

Review: The Pivot Mach SL 4 Blends XC Speed & Comfort
@NERyder: absolutely! I moved up to Cat 1 and really want to take a top 3 in our local series next year so the Mach 4 made more sense on paper. In reality with the same tires I'm not sure its much faster except when you're on a race course that requires lots of surges and attacks. When it's long steady climbs the differences are marginal between something like a Spur or Element and the Mach 4.

Review: The Pivot Mach SL 4 Blends XC Speed & Comfort
@Mlloyd550: Spur seems pretty ideal for geo, still raceable unless you're at the sharpest end of XCO but long enough to rally. I would say my Element was almost too long but sure was fun just about everywhere outside of race courses.

Review: The Pivot Mach SL 4 Blends XC Speed & Comfort
@RadBartTaylor: I do have a 120 on it. They designed the geometry numbers (HA and Reach) around a 100 mm fork though so the 120 shortens the reach significantly. I think they could have gone more modern with the reach/wheelbase personally. Not extreme or anything but longer would suit the suspension better IMO

Review: The Pivot Mach SL 4 Blends XC Speed & Comfort
I own this bike, in the Team XT/XTR build and unlike a lot of current new XC rigs, the geometry is the limiter, not the suspension. First time owning a DW link and it's wildly effective but I wish they had designed the geo around a 120 fork with the option to put a 130 grip 2 on it for races like Downieville because the rear end is just that capable, I run out of stability on rough tracks long before the suspension is being overly taxed. I had the new Element last year and that bike was definitely more capable but the geo let you ride at speeds where you hit the limit of the suspension pretty quick (assuming you had more aggressive tires on it). I can't wait to put some normal bars and a Dissector/Rekon on my Mach 4 this winter to test out the capability a bit more.

That scene really hit home for me. That sort of stress before my local race is whatever, but before a WC, woof.
