PRESS RELEASE: Pivot Cycles

Pivot Factory Racing’s commitment to developing riders continues with the addition of Canadian rider Jakob Jewett. The team just wrapped up their most successful season yet and looks to build upon that success with growth in the downhill, enduro and junior disciplines. Growth and success take patience - waiting for the right riders, timing, and opportunities to arise. We are thrilled to announce we found the right rider in Jakob Jewett.

bigquotesI am really excited to be joining Pivot Factory Racing for 2023. The Pivot team always seems to be having so much fun and this is matched with great results at the races. I’m also looking forward to joining my brother, Dane, who is already a part of the Pivot Next Gen development program. Overall, I think it’s a great brand with amazing bikes and a bunch rad people involved. I can’t wait for 2023!—Jakob Jewett

bigquotesWe are excited to announce Jakob’s signing. He is an instrumental part in the next phase of growth for Pivot Factory Racing. We know Jake will thrive in our fun, laid back racing environment. Can’t wait to start racing!— Rachel Wehn, Pivot Cycles’ Athlete Coordinator

Jake has signed to the Pivot Factory Racing team for 2023 and will join Bernard Kerr and Jenna Hastings for a full downhill World Cup and Crankworx season. The likes of Ed Masters, Matt Walker and Morgane Charre will continue to mix their way into World Cup DH and Crankworx racing when they aren’t stepping onto Enduro World Series podiums.

 Pinkbike may produce some quality content but the racing coverage is lackluster - this happened 10 days ago. Even with the Pinkbike racing team on the ground, the coverage from Vital, the Downtime Podcast or Andrew Neethling's podcast (Moving the Needle) are much more plugged in with the goings on around the DH racing scene.

 I agree about pinkbikes lackluster racing coverage, but this article was written by pivot, not pinkbike.

 Pink bikes coverage is still not as good as Dirt Magazines which would come out months afterwards lmao

 @joeysalat: that the problem right there. Pinkbike doesn’t write many of its own articles. Relies on free content.

 @da1994canucks: It's a press release from Pivot, so in this case they're the ones that should have gotten this press release done when the announcement was made, but in the same token if pinkbike wants to actually report on #TeamRumors then have someone pay attention and make a post about it when it happens

 Just proves the marketing and branding work,
I think It looks great, love the colourful bikes, the Collective team world champs bikes looked amazing
It’s a shame there isn’t any other options out there….
