Upgrades Bikes will be bringing Pivot Cycles to the UK, the brand launched by the same guy who first set up Titus. They’ve been around since 2008, and while they’ve taken a while to find their way over here, I think the wait has been worth it. 

This is the Mach 4, the shortest travel bike in the range at 100mm and has been made lighter and stiffer for 2011. Prices are to be confirmed but ballpark is £1599 for the frame and shock. More on this new brand in a future article
