High Performance Full Suspension Bike for Trail and Enduro Riding

Pivot Trail 429 Pro X0 Transmission Enduro - Willow Green

The Pivot Trail 429 Pro X0 Transmission Enduro - Willow Green is a premium carbon full-suspension mountain bike designed for riders who want efficient climbing performance with added capability on technical descents. It combines Pivot's lightweight Hollow Core carbon frame and progressive DW-Link suspension with a 140 mm FOX Factory 36 fork and 120 mm of rear travel.

At the heart of the build is SRAM's X0 Eagle Transmission 12-speed electronic drivetrain, paired with an AXS Pod Controller and a wide-range 10-52T cassette. The Enduro specification also includes four-piston SRAM G2 RSC brakes, DT Swiss XM1700 wheels, Maxxis Dissector 2.4-inch tires, and a Fox Transfer Factory dropper post.

With its adjustable flip-chip geometry and size-specific frame tuning, the Trail 429 is built to remain responsive on climbs while providing a more aggressive setup for rough, steep, and technical trails.

Hollow Core Carbon Frame

The Trail 429 uses Pivot's Hollow Core carbon construction, developed to provide a strong and lightweight chassis without sacrificing the stiffness required for precise trail handling.

The frame uses size-specific tuning so that the ride characteristics remain balanced across the XS through XL range. The Enduro version combines this carbon chassis with a longer-travel 140 mm fork, giving the bike a more aggressive front-end character than the standard 130 mm Trail 429 configuration.

Additional frame features include:

• Internal full-length cable routing

• UDH rear derailleur interface

• ISCG chain-guide tabs

• Bottle mounts

• Super Boost rear spacing

• Pivot Tool Dock mounting system

• Two-position flip-chip geometry adjustment

DW-Link Rear Suspension

Pivot's DW-Link suspension platform is designed to balance pedaling efficiency with active rear-wheel performance.

The Trail 429 provides 120 mm of rear travel, with the suspension layout designed to remain supportive during climbing while becoming progressively more controlled as the bike moves deeper into its travel. This makes the bike suitable for riders who want a trail-oriented platform that can still handle aggressive terrain.

Rear Suspension Specifications

FOX Factory 36 GRIP2 Fork

The defining component of the Enduro configuration is its FOX Factory 36 29-inch fork with a GRIP2 damper and 140 mm of travel.

The larger 36 mm chassis is designed to provide additional front-end stiffness and support compared with the 130 mm FOX 34 used on the standard Trail 429. The GRIP2 damper also provides a broad range of adjustment for riders who want to fine-tune the fork for different terrain and riding styles.

Fork Specifications

• Model: FOX Factory 36

• Wheel size: 29 inches

• Damper: GRIP2

• Travel: 140 mm

• Spring: Air

• Intended use: Aggressive trail / Enduro

FOX Factory Float X Rear Shock

The rear suspension is controlled by a FOX Factory Float X shock.

Its high-volume air-spring design provides suspension tuning flexibility while working with the Trail 429's DW-Link platform to provide controlled movement throughout the 120 mm of rear travel.

The Float X complements the 140 mm FOX 36 fork to give the Enduro build a more capable suspension package for steep and technical terrain.

SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission

The Trail 429 Pro X0 Transmission Enduro features SRAM's X0 Eagle Transmission 12-speed electronic drivetrain.

The wireless system uses an SRAM AXS Pod Controller and X0 Eagle Transmission rear derailleur. A 10-52T cassette provides a broad gear range, giving riders a low climbing gear while retaining higher ratios for faster sections of trail.

Drivetrain Specifications

Wireless AXS Shifting

The SRAM AXS Pod Controller provides electronic shifting without conventional derailleur cables.

The wireless configuration keeps the cockpit clean and works directly with the X0 Eagle Transmission derailleur. The Transmission system is paired with the bike's UDH-compatible frame interface.

SRAM G2 RSC Four-Piston Brakes

For braking, Pivot equips this build with SRAM G2 RSC four-piston hydraulic disc brakes.

The four-piston calipers provide strong braking power and modulation for steep descents and technical trail sections. The system uses 180 mm SRAM Centerline CenterLock rotors front and rear.

Brake Specifications

• Brake model: SRAM G2 RSC

• Caliper: Four-piston

• Type: Hydraulic disc

• Front rotor: SRAM Centerline 180 mm

• Rear rotor: SRAM Centerline 180 mm

• Rotor interface: CenterLock

DT Swiss XM1700 Wheelset

The bike uses a DT Swiss XM1700 29-inch wheelset with DT Swiss 350 hubs.

The wheelset features a 30 mm rim width and a 36-tooth Star Ratchet system. The front uses a 15 × 110 mm Boost axle, while the rear uses Pivot's 12 × 157 mm Super Boost standard.

Wheel Specifications

Maxxis Dissector 29 × 2.4 Tires

The Trail 429 Pro X0 Transmission Enduro rolls on Maxxis Dissector 29 × 2.4 WT tires.

The specified tires use a 3C MaxxTerra compound, EXO casing, and TR tubeless-ready construction. This combination provides a practical balance of traction, cornering grip, rolling performance, and casing protection for demanding trail conditions.

Tire Specifications

• Model: Maxxis Dissector WT

• Size: 29 × 2.4 inches

• Compound: 3C MaxxTerra

• Casing: EXO

• Construction: TR tubeless-ready

• Front/rear: Maxxis Dissector

Fox Transfer Factory Dropper

The bike is equipped with a Fox Transfer Factory dropper seatpost, allowing riders to lower the saddle quickly for descents and technical sections.

Travel is size-specific:

The size-specific configuration helps maximize usable dropper travel while maintaining appropriate saddle height for each frame size.

Carbon Cockpit

The Trail 429 uses a Phoenix Team Low Rise Carbon handlebar measuring 780 mm wide.

A Phoenix Team Enduro/Trail stem is matched to the frame size, helping maintain appropriate reach and handling characteristics across the size range.

Cockpit Specifications

• Handlebar: Phoenix Team Low Rise Carbon

• Width: 780 mm

• Stem: Phoenix Team Enduro/Trail

• Stem length: 35 mm XS / 45 mm S / 55 mm M-XL

• Grips: Phoenix Factory Lock-On

• Saddle: Phoenix WTB Volt Pro, Medium Width

Adjustable Flip-Chip Geometry

The Trail 429 features a two-position flip chip that allows riders to adjust the bike's geometry.

The adjustment provides the option to prioritize a more spirited all-around handling character or a more progressive, aggressive setup for rougher terrain. Combined with the 140 mm fork, the Enduro model is particularly well suited to riders who prioritize descending stability and technical-trail confidence.

Internal Cable Routing

Pivot's Cable Port System provides full-length internal routing for the bike's cables and hoses.

This keeps the exterior of the frame clean while helping protect the routing from trail debris. The system is also designed to simplify servicing compared with more difficult-to-access internal routing arrangements.

Pivot Tool Dock

The frame is compatible with Pivot's Tool Dock system, which provides mounting points beneath the top tube for carrying essential trail tools.

This is particularly useful for longer rides where riders want to keep basic repair equipment attached to the bike instead of carrying everything in a backpack.

The result is a versatile mountain bike that can climb efficiently, carry speed through technical terrain, and remain composed when the trail points sharply downhill.

Configuration Note

This description is specifically for the Pivot Trail 429 Pro X0 Transmission Enduro in Willow Green. It should not be confused with the standard Trail 429 Pro X0 Transmission, which uses a 130 mm FOX Factory 34 fork. The Enduro configuration is distinguished by its 140 mm FOX Factory 36 GRIP2 fork, while retaining 120 mm of rear travel and the SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission drivetrain.
