First Look: Forestal's First Non-Assisted Bikes - Siryon, Cygnus & e-Cygnus
@Ryan2949: fair comments, when I owned my shop I couldn’t sell a small bike unless it was a mullet - the market is a funny place.
I was sceptical about the seat tube heights on the e-Siryon, but it’s never actually caused me an issue when riding the steeps of Scotland or France. I used to be obsessed with seat tube heights and huge droppers.
However - I’m not short and ride a large

The existing Forestal Range is equipped with the same suspension design and has a small.
Not many small people buy a full 29.

The first Forestal Siryon was designed and named quite some time before the drug dealers delivery bike of choice became a thing.

I am sure you will see from the images that this bike is like new, its part of my fleet of 5 bikes and this one is my 'good bike' that i guess I have been a bit precious with. The fork and shock have just been professionally serviced - so the bike is 100% ready to shred.
I own Bennachie Bike Bothy and we are a Pivot dealer - so any after sales support will be covered by the shop too. the current RRP on this bike is £8,800 (if you can find one for sale) in addition the bike as XX1 cassette and chain at around £300 extra, along with Cushcore at £160 and Invisiframe at £200 bringing the sum of parts to a huge £9640 - so at near £2000 under it is an utter bargain.
What Pivot say about this bike:
A mountain bike with extraordinary versatility and category bending capability that redefines performance across every type of trail. We took the progressive long, and low geometry of the original Switchblade and pushed it even further with a longer reach, slacker head angle and steeper seat angle. Always with an eye on confidence - inspiring design, we shortened and straightened the Switchblade’s seat tube to allow for longer travel Dropper Seatposts in a more compact overall frame design. The adjustable flip chip from our Firebird 29 adds geometry adjustability, enabling the Switchblade to be easily optimized for 29”, 27.5+ or 27.5”/29” reverse mullet setups without compromise. All of this versatility is packaged in a even lighter, Pivot Hollow Core Carbon frame with plenty of room for a large water bottle in all sizes.
