Updated, redesigned, advanced: Pivot has made some significant changes to the Phoenix DH Carbon for 2016 with (as you'd hope) the input of the Pivot Factory Racing Team.
The new Pivot Phoenix DH Carbon, a bike that took Bernerd Kerr to his 2015 King of Crankworx title, is now lighter and features reworked geometry, increased frame protection, increased tyre clearance and a Fox Float X2 air shock rather than a coil shock. Other features include the Pivot Cable Port System, a full-length internal cable routing setup that Pivot claims is easy to maintain.
Pivot has taken on board feedback from the Pivot Factory Racing team, which consists of Bernard Kerr, Eliot Jackson and Emilie Siegenthaler, as part of the redesign process. They've fed back on elements like using frame sizes as a tuning option, the use of the Fox Float X2 rear shock, and setting up the Phoenix DH Carbon for different sized riders from 5ft 4in to 6ft 7in.

Geometry to suit everyone?
Pivot claims that the Phoenix DH Carbon has geometry that's equally suited to those riders who like their courses steep and so want a longer bike, and those who prefer a shorter fit for a more playful ride feel.
Each frame size has the same head tube and seat tube length (4.17cm and 16.95cm respectively), so those riders who want a shorter steed are advised to go down a size, those who want a longer bike should select a larger size with corresponding longer top tube, and handling can be adjusted with the optional adjustable +/- .75 degree headset.
The head angle is 62.5 degrees across the size range.
