Lightweight Carbon LES SL Frame
At the heart of the bike is Pivot's LES SL carbon frame, developed around efficient cross-country performance. The frame uses Pivot's Hollow Core carbon construction and has a claimed weight of approximately 800 g, making it the key contributor to the bike's low-weight, acceleration-focused character.
The frame combines a stiff, responsive structure with geometry intended to provide both efficient climbing and confident handling when the trail becomes more technical.
Internal cable routing gives the bike a clean appearance while helping protect cables from external exposure. The frame also incorporates mounting points for bottles and tools and an integrated chainstay protector.
100 mm Fox Performance Stepcast 32 Fork
The front suspension is handled by a Fox Performance Stepcast 32 29-inch fork with a 44 mm offset and 100 mm of air-sprung travel.
The 100 mm travel is well suited to XC riding, providing additional control over roots, rocks, rough corners, and small drops without turning the bike into a heavy trail-oriented setup.
Shimano SLX/XT 12-Speed Drivetrain
The drivetrain combines Shimano's SLX and XT components to provide a broad gear range without adding unnecessary complexity.
The Shimano XT M8100 SGS rear derailleur handles shifting across the 12-speed cassette, while the Shimano SLX M7100 I-Spec EV shifter provides indexed shifting. The 10–51T SLX cassette supplies a wide range for both climbing and faster sections of trail.
A Race Face Ride 32T crankset provides the single-chainring setup, giving the LES SL a simple 1×12 drivetrain with no front derailleur.

Shimano SLX Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Stopping power comes from Shimano SLX M7100 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes. The build uses 160 mm rotors, providing controlled braking for technical descents, fast corners, and sudden changes in trail conditions.
Hydraulic disc braking also offers consistent modulation and braking performance across varied XC terrain.
DT Swiss X1900 Wheels
The bike is equipped with DT Swiss X1900 wheels using aluminum rims and DT Swiss 370 hubs. The wheelset uses Boost spacing with a 15 × 110 mm front axle and 12 × 148 mm rear axle.
The wheels are paired with fast-rolling Maxxis Ardent Race 29 × 2.2-inch tires featuring EXO casing and 120 TPI construction. The tires are designed to balance rolling efficiency with the grip needed for cross-country trails.
XC-Focused Geometry
The LES SL uses a modern cross-country geometry that gives the bike a more capable feel than a traditional steep-angle race hardtail.
For the medium size, published geometry includes a 445 mm reach, 601 mm stack, 68.5° head angle, 74.5° seat angle, and 310 mm bottom-bracket height. Geometry varies by frame size, so riders should select the correct size rather than relying on the medium dimensions for every configuration.
Cockpit and Contact Points
The cockpit uses Pivot's own Phoenix components, including a 780 mm Race Low Rise aluminum handlebar and Phoenix Team XC/Trail stem.
The bike also features Phoenix Factory Lock-On grips, a Phoenix Race Aluminum rigid seatpost, and a Phoenix WTB Race Volt narrow-width saddle.
